jennifer1 180 Posted April 20, 2011 i hear ya on the clothing store. I agree also about the roller coaster. I once went to great america with a friend (male) stood in line for over an hour only to get there and not be able to fit in the seat. OMG! how embarrassed was I. My friend was wonderful. He took his ride. i met him at the bottom and he never once said anything, we went on with our day like nothing happened! LOL Ooh! I'd like to be able to comfortably do a roller coaster again. I always tell my friends "I just don't like it anymore" but the truth, it's just not comfortable, or I don't fit, and it's embarrassing! I guess along with that sit comfortably in a movie theatre seat, and an airplane seat. It's getting a lot easier, but I want to not be touching the sides ahha. My #1 thing is I want to be able to go in to ANY women's clothing store and buy clothes. Now, I won't ever be skinny mini, I'm a big girl, I'm tall. But I want to be able to buy anything I want from New York & Company, or Express a regular store. Hell, I'd love to buy some cheap disposable clothes from Forever 21! ahah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarcyLoo 12 Posted April 21, 2011 Ok, so this is embarassing but... 1) be naked in front of my husband and not feel shy 2) be able to fully participate in intimate moments (sex) with hubby 3) to just not have to wear clothes to try to hide flab. I know I may need excess skin removed down the road to fully accomplish this 4) to go hiking again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tnt21705 8 Posted April 21, 2011 Well I would love to: 1) Shop for clothes anywhere I want 2) Tie my shoes (with the bow in the middle...lol...) 3) Re take my picture for work (a skinny version) 4) wear a tankini 5) walk a marathon 6) wear a higher heel shoe 7) buy a really good pair or trendy jeans Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peaches78 8 Posted April 21, 2011 This is a terrific post.... There are so many things that I want to do which I have never been able to or at least not for a very long time. Although mine are not so adventurous but maybe those will come after I acheive some of my others! So here goes not in any particular order: Wear shorts again (without thighs rubbing or shorts riding up) Cross my legs Not feel winded after walking up stairs Have more energy Go on the roller coaster (or other amusement park rides) with my kids Have less back pain Feel more confidence Not be self concious with regard to being with my husband Not have my shirts be tight in the arms Not need the seatbelt extender when flying There are more I'm sure but this was my initial list! I can also sympathize with the tying shoes and having the tie be in the middle.... that's a good one too! Faith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jenn1214 120 Posted April 21, 2011 Great topic! 1) Shop wherever I want for clothes 2) Wear heels without my feet blowing up like balloons 3) Stop hiding from cameras 4) Have more fun during, uh, "private time" with fiance 5) Being able to wear lingerie for said private time and not wanting to hide in the bathroom 6) Finally feeling comfortable in my own skin 7) Walking up stairs without breathing like a rhinoceros 8) Tie shoes without holding my breath 9) Cross my legs properly 10) Actually have a hairstyle that looks cute instead of one that hides my fat face 11) Do a boudoir photo shoot for fiance 12) Rock my wedding dress!

TracyW2 137 Posted April 22, 2011 My goal was always simple. I wanted to walk into Victoria Secrets and buy a matching bra and panty set once I hit goal. Well I'm at goal now and we dont have the extra money for me to do it. One day I would love a Tummy Tuck and boob job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hopeful11 0 Posted April 24, 2011 I'm being banded this Wednesday and I can hardly wait! Here is what my 'bucket list' looks like... 1. Sit in and fit into booths/chairs/roller coasters etc without fear of not being able to fit or breaking anything. 2. Being able to shop in any store and know that there will be something there for me to wear. 3. Shopping in stores like Victoria's sec./express/american eagle/gap with my friends and being able to enjoy trying on clothing along with them 4. Being able to cross my legs comfortably 5. Would love to be able to RUN and not feel like I'm going to die 6. Fit into old jewerly or special outfits that I've not been able to wear in years 7. Looking forward to feeling good in my skin again! 8. Wear clothing more appropriate for someone my age; esp skirts and shorts and not worry about the 'chub rub' (i heard it called that recently and had to laugh) in between my legs!
