A great friend of mine once asked me this question, so now I will pass it on to you guys!
What is your "Dream" so to speak. Something you have always wanted to try, but didnt due to your weight...
*
What will you do when you reach your goal???

Mine is a bit silly I suppose, but I have always wanted to go horseback riding and have been afraid I would hurt the horse! *I know, it sounds silly, but truly, didnt want to do it at 241 pouns and risk serious injury to the poor horse...Now, when I reach my goal, hopefully in the spring,* I shall go horseback riding!

Please share yours...

I used to ride horses when I was younger (and smaller) but have the same thoughts as you about doing it now.* I'd like to ride horses again.* And Micheal loves amusement parks, but I shy away because it's sooo embarassing to get on a ride and have to get right back off cuz you're too big!!* Oh, and dancing!!* I want to learn to do line dancing!
I'd like to take my grandchildren to do those things, along with other activities.
But I think most of all I'll just enjoy being able to take part in the simple pleasures smaller people have...shopping off the rack, being able to fit in theater seats or any seats with arms comfortably, things of that nature.* And I'll enjoy having good stares instead of the glares I sometimes get now.
What will I do when the weight is finally gone???* Enjoy it!!!!!!!!!!

Ahhhh...Good answer!!!
I would like to learn to HIP HOP dance or Belly Dance...Which I guess I could do that now and call it exercise!?!? Just need to go do it, I suppose, and not let fear hold me back...
Buying clothes off the rack is VERY exciting too...I forgot that one.
We can do it folks. We can we can we can...Just gotta beleive!

Buy NEW clothes!!!* Lots and lots of new clothes!* Okay, so not lots and lots, but shopping will be fun again.* Right now I'm between plus size and "regular" clothes and shopping is a nightmare!

There are so many things I would love to do! I love swimming, and though I swam this summer, I felt so self conscious because I was wearing my "fat suit" and well, when you're around those skinny mini's in bikinis..... you feel a bit down. I'd love to get a simple one piece that exposes some nice back and NO RIPPLES! I want to get the looks from the guys even when those skinny girls are around!
Also, I want to enjoy shopping! I did when I lost some weight before, and I want to again! I want to enjoy buying new clothes, not dread it.
Last but not least... when I lose all the weight, I want to just show people! I want everyone who's only seen me as fat, to see the new me! I wanna help my friends that are trying, and I think this will be an inspiration! I mean if I can do it, ANYONE can!

Once I reach my goal, I want to take a cruise.* I want to wear shorts all summer.* And for the whole cruise.* I am also just as excited like you two about shopping in the regular or even juniors sizes.* Wearing the small sexier bras and panties.* Just little simple things that thinner people take for granted sometimes.

What a great question!! Okay, here goes:
First, I want to be able to RUN RUN RUN with my boys and not poop out. I also want to wear hip huggers (even though they're on their way out, lol) and look hot, even if it's just around the house. I want to be able to wear ANYTHING and look good. I already feel comfy naked around my DH, but I want to see him drool a little more when I get that way, lol.
Basically, I just want to FEEL good and LOOK ever so HOT HOT HOT!!! LOL!! Oh, and I want to be healthy. So many of my health issues are directly related to my weight...and shall we go full circle? I want to be healthy so I can be here for my children, and so I can some day know my grandchildren, great grandchildren, and so on!!

I'm gonna smoke a cigar (which I haven't done for years) and then buy a new corvette

Way to go, DAN!!!

Well hopefully I won't have a pile of hanging skin to deal with... if I do, I want to get that take care of.* Then I want to buy CLOTHES and get rid of my big phat gurl clothes!!!* I will fly in an airplane again, FLIRT WITH MEN LIKE THERE IS NO TOMORROW, and just be addicted to my New Life in a normal-sized body.* Ooooooooooooooooooo I like this question!!!
