in Health and Weight Loss
When I lose my weight and get into shape I plan on hiking up every hikable mountain in America. I also plan on putting on a pair of shorts and going in public. I have not wore shorts since I was in 7th grade. :frown: I would also like to take cruise. I was supposed to go on my honeymoon but hurricane Ike showed up. I'm glad I didn't I was about 26 pounds heavier then.

So what do you plan on doing when the weight is off?

    I will.....

    * buy & wear regular (not skirted) bikini bottoms with all my cute bikini tops.

    * wear shorts in public and possibly some skirts (that has been YEARS!!!).

    * start running.

    * have to tailor A LOT of my current clothes :laugh: (and I'm OK with that)

    I'm looking forward to riding the rides at the exhibition next fall- something I haven't done since I was a teenager.

    I will:
    - play tennis with my fiance (and someday, our kids) and finally beat him at it!
    - buy my very first bikini - not a tankini, a real bikini.
    - get a new tattoo
    - possibly pierce my belly button
    - wear shorts and tank tops whenever I feel like it =D
    - hike to the top of Mt. Monadnock without stopping

    -A trip to Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa: My main reward, which I've been pining for for some time now.
    -A trip outside the country before college starts- I'm thinking of somewhere in America or Hong Kong.

    And while I'm at all these awesome places, splurge on a bunch of cute clothes and cultural food (<- in moderation!) xD

    I look forward to being able to play tennis as well...I'm not even sure if I'll enjoy it or not, but it's on my list of things to do- that and racquetball.

    I'm surprised that people are writing that they will start running once the weight comes off. What is stopping you now? i started running at 230lbs and that is how I lost the majority of my weight. It was hard running at that weight but it was worth it.

    Plantar Fasciitis, knee problems, shin splints... I find the impact on my legs running at this weight (and I'm not THAT heavy), just makes it so unenjoyable.

    I will:
    * get my belly button pierced.
    * possibly get another tattoo.

    * go hiking up the continental divide -- did that about 4 years ago when I was more in shape and weighed less.

    I agree, if you don't have any other health issues, GO FOR IT folks!

    I've recently started running and I *love* it (I was at about 245 when I started). I pushed too hard & my knees started killing me, but I've taken a week off and I'm dying to run now. My knees have felt good for three days in a row now, so I get to run tonight!

    So, my advice if you're heavy & want to start running is to take it slow (2-3 times/week) and listen to your body. It's hard, but it's so awesome to feel yourself improve with each run -- very very motivational. And, I can burn way over 500 calories in 30 minutes doing it, so it's hard to beat that calorie burn, too. :smile:

    When I lose the weight, I, like so many of you, will buy an awesome swimsuit (I don't know about a bikini...) and go to the beach. And I'll say goodbye to my savings account because I'm probably going to go clothes shopping crazy.

    I'd like to go backpacking across Europe.
    Go swimming with dolphins! If they saw me now they would probably think a great white was coming after them!:smile:
