I just want to know what it feels like to be at a healthy range because I have never been in a normal weight range since I was very little.

I don't miss anything because I never had it.

I can relate to alot of the other posts in this thread.

One of my "can't wait fors" is ....

I can't wait to see what my face is going to look like.

I just wonder what my face really looks like after spending all of my adult years overweight.

It's such a great feeling to read through this thread and realize that so many of these things that used to be on my list are now achieved.

I can't wait to finish my first 5 k.

I can't wait to have the guts to walk into one of those small boutiquey type stores that doesn't carry above a smallish 12 and know I'll find something that fits.

I can't wait to be so physically fit that I people who meet me could not imagine that I had ever been fat.

That's so sad..never again

-I want to wear shorts and not have the ride up because of my thighs rubbing together.
-To not have to use anti chaffing gel under my belly and boobs ( sorry if TMI)
-I want to be able to go to a theme park and not have to worry about whether or not I will fit.
-To wear sexy lingerie for my husband
-NO more clothes out of the plus size section (where they think we are all 65 and older)

Heck, even when I weighed 130 I was called "thunder thighs". Runs in my family.
I shoulda been a cowgirl, I've always had built in saddlebags.
It must be a 5'4" thing. This is my big "can't wait" still! I too remember weighing 130 pounds and my legs chaffed in shorts or skirts. I'm hoping all this strength training will eventually tone up that area!! I carry the majority of my weight in my thighs at present.

All these "can't waits" are within your reach folks!! My list used to include all of these and the only one left now is the thigh rub thing!

When I'm in a cafe or restaurant and have to walk through the other tables and diners, I want not to have to sit there before hand pre-planning the route with the biggest gaps.

Good one!!!

I want to not have to check and see the "maximum weight" on bicycles, or exercise equipment or the like, cause I'll be way below the minimums!!!

I want to never have to ask for a different chair because I can't fit in the one I was supposed to sit in. (or avoid places with arms on the chairs.)

There is a dress in my closet that I last remember wearing in 1986. I really can't say why it survived two house moves (including one across 5 states) and numerous closet purges. I think it's because the fabric colors and pattern made me happy to look at just hanging on the hanger and it always put me in a good mood to wear that dress.

Now it has become my goal outfit. It is very fitted style and an 80's size 12 (which would likely be a what, size 8 by today's standard?). Really looking forward to strutting my stuff in this dress.

-To not wear out the fabric of bottoms because my thighs cause friction
-To out run/fool around with my brother that is 3 years younger..we love sibling rivalry
-To finally prove everyone that this is NOT who I am, Liz 2.0 is busting to get out!
-To dress my age and enjoy being single in my 20s
-To not be so self conscious talking to guys because of my weight
-To go into a normal store and not have to look at the highest size and try to squeeze myself into it because I am determined to have it
-To feel good going to the beach or laying out by the pool

Sooo many more!
