    When I reach my goal weight of 175 lbs, I will get a tummy tuck. Already know who I want to do it and everything...absolute succesful surgeon. That will prob get me down to 150, and I will be comfortable wearing a bikini.

    I want a demonic back wings tattoo. I also love corsets so I will be wearing more them. After a body lift and probably boob lift I will be wearing a bikini for the first time ever.
    BE CAREFUL OF PLASTIC SURGEONS (PLEASE MINE TRIED TO KILL ME AND I AM SCARED FOR LIFE NO JOKE ) CHECK AND RECHECK

    I look forward to being able to shop in the normal stores with my sister and not feel like I'm being judged. I feel like when I'm in there other people are looking at me like "What are you doing in here? You can't shop here." Nobody has ever said that to me but I feel like they're thinking it.

    And I also plan to get my first tattoo as a reward when I get to my UGW. Although my goal weight isn't a finite number, I'll know when I get there.

    lol- yes, I would like to do the same - I realized the other day I couldn't bend down and get something off the floor from my chair!

    I want to fit into my smaller clothes and stop wearing the same two pairs of pants, becuase I don't want to buy a bigger size.

    This is nice that most of us are wanting to be comfortable and confident in something simple like shorts. I thought I'd be the only one with what seems so plain but it's a big statement on how many of us covered ourselves with fabric in addition to weight! Good luck to you all (and me too) in reaching our goals and UGW!

    I have a picture of myself when I was a teenager on my fridge. That picture always makes me smile. I was very active (not sports, just outgoing) those days and I would love to be back there again.

    So at my UGW, I am looking at that picture and saying "Nice to meet you again, dont you look handsome!" :)

    I want to wear shorts in public. With confidence. I want to wear single digit pants size (I'm so very, very close). I want to be less jiggly, and have some muscle definition. I know I will still have stretch marks, kids do that to you. But I will be happy.

    I haven't gone clothes shopping in months, as I felt like getting clothes for my new size would be admitting defeat. As a result, the very few clothing items that I could stretch to fit me are well worn. When I reach my UGW, I'm looking forward to getting rid of *everything* and buying myself an entirely new wardrobe!

    Once I reach my UGW of 125, I want to:

    -be able to run for a long distance and have great endurance
    -look slamming and tight in a bikini!
    -get my belly button pierced
    -wear leggings as pants without looking stupid
    -fit in at my favorite punk bar in cool clothes

    and many others...

    I want to feel confident at all times, not just when I spend hours on my hair and makeup = D


    I second this. A whole bunch! :wink:

    I will go clothes shopping! And not just buy a few items of clothing here and there, I will buy bags and bags of clothes, so much so that it will seem like an outtake of Clueless! Whoo!

    ...man, I should probably start saving up for that...

    Epic shopping trip will be epic.

    oh! Also, I would like to feel like I am not stomping while I walk. I hope to take lighter, more graceful steps.

    The day when I look in the mirror and I finally see my lower two abs (got visible top four and lines down the side if lowers. Pretty good going from 96kg to 62) and having someone else notice. It'll all be worth it.

    When I get to my UGW, I will be treating myself to a new pair of boobies.. :-)

    It is going to take some time to get there but I would love to be able to walk into a "normal" clothes shop and be able to buy whatever I want and know that I will find something that fits!!

    Nearly everyone one I read I thought to myself I want too LOL. Mine is to wear a knee length dress and to be able to wear skinny jeans and knee high boots.

    Good luck everyone.

    I second all the shorts wearing, bikini confidence and new wardrobe buying comments.

    My husband is working up to lifting the weight I was when we were married and when I get there and he can lift that comfortably he's going to carry me over the threshold (we were married in 2008)

    I will be ready for baby #2

    Buy lingerie and schedule a burlesque photo shoot and give the pictures to my husband for our anniversary.

    I want a pair of boots that come over my calves! (my calves are too big to just go to the store and buy them) So I can wear them over a pair of tightish jeans.

    I think I am the crazy lady here... I wear shorts-even with stretch marks behind my knees... if it's hot, I'm going to be comfortable! And I wear tank tops with my flabby stretch-marked arms, too. I wear bathing suits without problem also. I guess I truly don't care about what people think.
    HOWEVER... there are thing I can't physically do that I look forward to. Not sure when they will happen, but it should be even before I am at my UGW.
    *I want a pair of Uggs. This past Fall/Winter, my calfs are too big and I don't like the short ones.
    *I want to wear cute torn up jeans. I have a pair that fit, but jeans never look good on me... my stomach is huge and my thighs and butt are just big. So when pants fit my belly, they are baggy on my butt and thighs... which doesn't make the thigh-ripped jeans look very cute!!!
    *I would like to wear a sundress this summer. Usually, I have a hard time with dresses because of the size of my stomach vs the rest of my body.

    This is the first year that I am really hoping my husbands work has a Summer BBQ! By Summer, I will still be very much overweight, but, I would like to think I will be confident in going :)

    It won't be my UGW but my main target is to buy a ball dress for my grad ball in June that I actually like. I probably still won't be happy with my size but I'd like to wear something I like and for people to notice I've lost weight!

    When I reach my UGW I'm going to try to dress more feminine with things such as skirts and dresses.

    I'm just a regular t-shirt and jeans kind of girl



    That sounds like me... I would love to wear some skirts and dresses without my thighs rubbing together!!!:embarassed:

    Hoping when I reach my UGW that I can stand in front of my partner completely naked for the first time since we have been together (6 years) without the fear that he will vomit and leave me :(

    I'll get there.. physically.. I think mentally its going to take a lot longer though :(

    anywho.. YAY for losing weight

    Oh hun, Don't think that way!!! I'm pretty sure he loves you just the way you are. Be proud of who you are and what you have, it could be worse. And yes I do believe that it is harder to make yourself believe you are not fat after losing a lot of weight, then losing the weight itself. Just think positive!!!!

    When I get to my UGW I will be getting a tummy tuck, and boob job. Then I will be buying a whole new wardrobe that will make me feel even better about myself. Then go on a nice long vacation somewhere on a beach where I can wear a bikini and look hot in it!! Someday, Just hopefully very soon. I'm done feeling and looking the way I am!!!! UGH!!

    I love tailored clothes, and my reward for reaching my goal is a whole new wardrobe. Well, I did some serious shopping over the weekend. And today at work I am wearing a pencil skirt with the blouse TUCKED IN!! And both are size 6!! I could not be happier with the results. :bigsmile:

    On a fitness level, I want to be able to hike down to the floor of the Grand Canyon and back with my hubby. We are going to be taking some camping/hiking vacations starting next month, and I can't wait! Hopefully, we will be able to complete our BIG hike before next fall.

    I am looking forward to wearing American Eagle jeans. I am currently a size 22/24, and AE jeans only go up to 18. I have a pair of size 18s as motivation!!!

    AE jeans are my fave :) I worked at AE for 3 years in undergrad.
