Changes in clothing. I've got fashion sense, but the wrong body to use it on. Attitude, to be humble even when weight has been lost, and to be more active. I've always wanted to plan a trip to Beijing, but I never go because my body can't take it. I need a body that I can properly move around with. Because now I can't jog, only walk. My knees can't take me.

I'm on board with all of that! Best of luck - it's a hard journey but these are all things you can achieve!

My big goal overall is to just be more alive, similar to what you've said. Wear the clothes you want, feel more comfortable traveling, be the me that is under all the extra weight!

Best of luck to EVERYONE!

I would like to see my bi-polar/depression to go away for good and be in a better mood.

I would like to see myself playing more outside with my daughter, maybe doing some bike riding! I would also like to see a change in the effort I put forth in my college classes. I am trying to complete a masters degree, but I am constantly half assing everything. Even though thats enough to pass I want to be an A student.

Wow. Everyone has expressed the desire we all have to feel good about ourselves so well -- I hope we do not have to wait until we reach some perfect shape or size to do it!

I want to be able to dance again without feeling I don't belong out on the floor, and to have better stamina for hiking and intense horse trekking and training. I can't keep up with my kids (15 and 19) any more, so it's time to keep up with what I have put off as they have grown up. I also want to look in the mirror and not sigh deeply, really need to buy clothes and absolutely hate to. I love to see people who really pull off being beautiful at all kinds of weights, though. We can feel more beautiful even while larger than we like, no? I hope we can find some ways to do that in this group.

I would like to be confortable in my own body, and also not hide inside next summer. And of course fit in nice clothing without looking like a whale in them

I would like to see more comfort in exersize so I do it every day. I would like to see my belly disapear.

I want that moment I used to take for granted: stretched out on a beach, feeling good about myself, comfortable enough in my skin to fully enjoy the warmth of the sun and the cool breeze, content to be alone, calm.

For the time being, I'd settle for any emotion other than panic and denial when considering going to the gym.

I want to see my childrens pride in me for changing. My five year old went to school and showed all of his friends the "dancing moves to lose weight" mommys doing and he told them that hes happy to have a skinnier mommy soon. I asked him why he will be happier to have a skinny mommy and he said "mommy, so you can bend down and play with me and maybe ride bikes with me". I want them to grow up and not be embarrassed or ashamed. I want my husband to have the woman he fell in love with when I was size 8. I want to feel whole again. Ive worked on the emotional side, now i want the physical side. Also, clothes are cheaper and cuter the smaller you are

I, of course, want to lose weight and become toned. But, overall, I just want to be happy with myself. Also, I want to just be more open with other people and have a better, more positive, attitude. There's enough judgment & negativity in this world...I certainly don't need to add to it! I want to be able to get on a horse (I used to be an avid rider) and not feel worried about being too big for them. I just want to take pride in myself and love me for me
