I'm looking forward to being able to easily get on and off a horse. I love horse riding but have been embarrassed to do it because of this issue.

I just sold my three year old draft cross mare (horse) because I couldn't get my weight under control and get her trained. Her potential was going to waste because I couldn't stop eating. I am looking forward to buying another horse this summer and actually being able to ride and train again!

I'm looking forward to going scuba diving in Cozumel, Mexico and using less weight to get neutral! In scuba terms just means less to weigh me down enough to sink. Fat is buoyant and muscle is much easier to sink :)

New clothes and SHOES!!!! Being comfortable in public in a regular swimsuit, not a swimdress....maybe even in a bikini! Being more active with my son!!!!!!!!! Right now I hate going to the playground or anywhere because I get tired too fast. That's gonna change soon!!!

Shoes~ I have a closet full of them that I can't wear for very long because it just hurts too much because of my weight, pressure, or whatever...would be nice to wear them again...oh, and thigh high boots!

Clothes~ Lots of them...sexy ones too, would be really nice :)

Not being out of breath~ walking upstairs, or down the block or during aerobic exercise, in general during the summer, etc...or even at night, apparently I have some sleep apnea and am on cpap, so it would be good to be off that damn machine.

Attention~ Alright, I am not too shy to admit I'd like a little bit of attention...from sexy men of course, LOL! Not the kind we've all become accustomed to, where you know they are talking about how fat you are either.

Roller Coasters~ I want to FIT comfortably on them! Some I still fit on, but having my chest smooshed to accomplish this just doesn't seem very safe lately ;)

I want to go scuba diving, para-sailing, horseback riding, mountain climbing, and so much more, without my weight being the deciding factor! I want to LIVE...fearlessly. I remember how it felt to live that way...and I want it back :)

I'm looking forward to being able to shop wherever I want. I'm looking forward to not always being the biggest person in the room. I'm looking forward to weighing less than my husband for the first time ever. Most of all, I'm looking forward to having more fun with my kids, playing with them, chasing them around the park without getting tired immediately, taking them on Water slides or roller coasters. I'm looking forward to feeling like I'm actually living my life, not just being a bystander.

I am looking forward to having more energy. I want to travel more so fitting in a airplane seat belt will be nice. I want to dance at my daughters wedding in September. but mostly I want to be healthy and active.

The awesome outfits I'm going to wear to my godbrother's wedding weekend in Seprember! I'm singing in the ceremony and my band is playing the reception. I'm changing after the ceremony! Then a third outfit for the traditional (Ethiopian) reception the next day. They happen to be one of my favorite couples so it will be pretty awesome for me to work hard and look amazing for their day! (That and I could just meet my future hubby there lol)

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
