Fun Question

[pandabear 39]

Actually getting a bra that fits right (sheesh, I guess big girls can't be barely a b cup)

Stop paying 40-60 dollars for one damn pair of jeans (thanks lane bryant, now how about upping the quality on the fabric now that they are that expensive)

Wearing short sleeve shirts without a long sleeve over them.

Wearing shorts (haven't worn shorts in 10 years, no matter how hot it is, I wear jeans)

Getting off of painkillers so I can get through my day at work.

And being able to dance without fear of being that fat girl that the skinny girls and the "hot" guys make fun of, because I got moves.

I read on here someone mentioned a 'bucket list' for after the weight loss. What a great idea! I think it will be such a great motivational tool!

Mine is hit Cedar Point, go to the beach IN A BATHING SUIT yikes! and finally set a date for my wedding which I refuse to do until I lose weight

Bucket list; wear shorts for the first time in 14 years, wear a bathing suit without being totally mortified, go to a Water park, lots of roller coasters, and shopping!!!

I want to take my kids to a Water park. They would so love that.

I want to wear anything but the damn floor length purple tent of a dress that has been my only decent going out outfit for the last three freakin years!

I want to walk to the park with my sister without feeling like the gross fat sister.

Going up or down any stairs without wincing!

Wanna buy a cute pair of boots without looking for the wide calf ones!

Wearing high heels again.

I need my knee pain to be gone, that is my biggest wish.

Get dressed in 5 minutes, not to think about my choice of clothes for half an hour every day, trying to figure out what makes me look not that fat - when in reality I look fat in whatever I put on:/

I want to go to a Water park in a REAL bathing suit. No more t-shirts and shorts. I already have a trip planned for next July so I'm hoping that will help me stay on track. Also knee high boots... I have a hard time with them anyway since I wear a size four, but I'm still gonna try to find some, darnit!!

Ohh my bucket list is.. •Go horse riding •Wear shorts/skirts/dresses • Go on Rolacoasters •Buy and wear a leather jacket without looking silly •Wear a swimsuit for the first time in 10 years! And be able to go swimming in my local swimming pool. • Wear short sleeved tops without worrying about my giant arms.

i'm very into fashion. but i am always picking it out for everyone else. i want to be able to shop for myself. and by clothes in stores rather than online.

great posts everyone! Before you know it will be next summer and what a difference a year can make! I can honestly say these last 18 months have gone by so fast for me. Just remember that the band is a tool that you must use, it can't do it alone! Good luck everyone!

Bucket List: Go to Lane Bryant, try on the smallest size & find that its too big! Ride go carts with my son. Wear heels without ankle pain. Get GOOD seats to a comedy show at the Improv without fear of the comedian using me for fat jokes!

Ahh love all these things!!

For me its simple:

1. Sounds cliche, but I want to rock a bikini...nothing skimpy but it would be amazing to wear something that DOESN'T cover my entire torso!

2. Look great in a Form fitting "little black dress" with an amazing new pair of high heels.

3. To be able to one day get rid of my Spanx!

4. Lastly, I want to train for a sports event, not sure which kind but something that would require serious physical training. (My original plan was to join the army, but apparently once you have weight loss surgery, its an automatic disqualification - Boo!)
