If I were thinner I'd.....

Fill in the blank guys. Are there things you have always wanted to do but let the weight hold you back? Let us know what you're going to do when you lose the weight or now that you have already lost it.

For me it's dancing. I love to dance but haven't been able to do it. Got tired too fast and felt like I looked like a fool. Can't wait to start doing it again. I want to sign hubby and me up for some latin ballroom stuff when I lose another 50 or 100 pounds.

Take Tae Kwon Do w/my daughter. We did the one month trial a few years ago, and in the adult class, one of the exercises was to stand back to back with another person and hook elbows. The other person was to lean forward and the other person lay on the back, then switch.

Well, I got paired up w/the big guy (who was smaller than me) and I said no, I didn't want to do that, and he said, "I don't want you to do that either." His girlfriend was watching and she was just laughing hysterically. I left and never went back...but I loved doing the actually movements of TKD.

I would also bunjee jump/sky dive given the money situation. Unfortunately, weight isn't my only hold-back.

Wear a bikini and just work it!

Wear sleeveless shirts without worrying about the size of my arms!

...be naked! My clothes would fall off if I were suddenly thin! And I don't think that would go over well in the office.:crying:

Seriously, if I were to my target weight, I don't know what other thing I would do. I would (I hope) just enjoy them more - dancing, cycling, travelling, etc. Oh, I just thought of something. I would go in-person to a clothing store and try on outrageous outfits just for the fun of it! Imagine slinky little gold lame dresses, or red-carpet worthy gowns...but not in black! Vibrant alive 'look at me' colours!

I think I'd take up ballroom dancing. Dancing with the Stars has really attracted my attention. But right now a 300+ lb guy in hat & tails just doesn't fit with any image I ever had of myself. Maybe next summer when Egorsgirl and I are both smaller. :rolleyes2:

I want to climb a mountain! Longs Peak to be exact. And I'd like to wear a T-shirt and underwear around the house and not be self conscious (I haven't done that for years!)!!!!

oh, and lots of SEX!

Mark me down for a bikini too. Don't think it will ever happen but it doesn't hurt to dream. Even when I was thin I didn't have a "bikini body"lol.

Go play at a beach, Dance (in front of people), and get involved with theatre. I missed it since I got too fat to face an audience.

Oh and run. I used to looove to run.

I'd love to do a pin-up photo shoot - 1940's/1950's style

My mother would die of shock - but I'd like a tattoo. On my lower ab region (once it no longer resembled a deflated tire)

To wear a bikini or sexy bathing suit and know I look damn good in it!

Go rock climbing again

Learn to Water ski - that would be awesome!

My dream is to plant all of my flower beds without having to take a rest every 10 minutes. To walk into Macys or Nordstroms and buy a size 8 top and six 6 bottom like I did 12 years ago.

....jump on the trampoline with my son without the fear that my boobs would knock me out or that I'd collapse the dang thing.

      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.
