Ultimate goals
I saw a similar post on another forum, though I think it was an old thread. Anyway, I wanted to revisit it with all of you, as this kind of stuff keeps me so motivated and I keep thinking of things to add to the list.
Once you reach goal, what are some things you are looking forward to doing?
For me, so far, it is:
Learn to horseback ride
Go bike riding with my kids
Go shopping at Victoria's Secret
Maybe try one last time to get pregnant.
What about yours?

Excellent idea -
for me it is:
Go swimming and not be embarrassed
Go into a bar and get checked out by guys (I know I am married, but still - it feels good!!)
Go to an amusement park and not worry about not fitting in the seat belts on the rides
Go go cart riding
Shop ANYWHERE but Lane Bryant
And DEFINITELY have a baby.

Hmmm.....you know I never think about this, and I don't know why. I guess because I feel like it's so far ahead of me, it's like dreaming. But I'll try to come up with a few things off the top of my head, like that game where you have to answer the question quickly when you catch the ball:
* Go jogging and running
* Do laps at the community pool
* Wear a miniskirt with heels again
* Wear Victoria's Secret matching sets
* Get a tattoo
* Take a yoga class
* Go horseback riding
* Do a striptease for my sweetheart
That's a start!

OH and I forgot, I also want to get my belly button pierced, depending on how much extra skin I have!

funny you should post this because i have been thinking a lot about it and almost posted it last week. LOL
i have been thinking that once i reach goal i'd like to try to go on fear factor. LOL
not to win or anything, just to say i did it.... i can't help but wonder how many WW points are in pig testicles though. LOL
i'd also, like many of you, be able to go swimming without looking like a whale.... be able to wear a bathing suit.
i want to jog again.
learn to dance (thanks apryl! i would LOVE to know how)
go somewhere with my kids and have people think "whoa, that's one hot mama!" LOL
mostly i just want to be happy and healthy!
be able to wear cute clothes again.
be able to dig through my brother's closet and have everything be too big instead of too small.
be able to steal my mom's clothes LOL
oh there's so much! i'll be adding to this some later.

LOL Shelly - if you go on Atkins before you go to Fear Factor you would be able to eat pig testicles, cow brains, AND fish eyes!! Probably there aren't many carbs in those items.
I also would like to be able to go through my husbands closet and have every thing be too big!

What a great thread! I want to:
Walk in Victoria's Secret and Fredericks of Hollywood and SHOP!
Wear clothes that other 26 year old women are wearing
Wear cute gym clothes to the gym
Do a raunchy strip/lapdance for my hubby (Sorry if TMI!)
Feel, look, and be healthy
Get pregnant again, and this time actually look pregnant, and not just fat
Say bye-bye to Lane Bryant and the plus size section of The Fashion Bug.
I could go on and on and on!

I like the "wear cute clothes to the gym". Since I am at the gym quite a bit, I try to look half decent when I go there but I want to be able to wear some cute regular size workout clothes.
Other things..
* Try doing a few sporty things - skiing, bicycling (i've kind of started this one), maybe jogging once in a while, fake rock climbing, hiking (i kind of do this once in a while but nothing too strenous), swimming (I do that now but I want to try some more serious swimming)
* Wear a knee length or shorter skirt - my butt isn't very conducive to skirts currently
* Be comfortable in an airplane seat - I like to travel but the airplane ride isn't quite pleasant currently
* Not feel like I have to apologize to everyone for my weight - I constantly say sorry, but when I first realized it, I asked myself what am i sorry for? I am sorry that I am so big and in your way

IF and WHEN I ever get to goal... geesh.. I'm telling you that these past 3 days have been really rough. I can't stop picking.
Anyway, I have thought about getting my bellybutton pierced. I said I would do that when my stomach was flat enough. Well, it's flat enough now but I'm a big chicken!
I want to buy myself a new wardrobe. I am currently working on this... CLOTHES ARE EXPENSIVE!
The biggest thing I WILL DO when I reach goal is keep eating healthy and exercise so that I can maintain what I have worked so hard for.
I already got a new hair style and my nails done and I plan to keep buying new clothes. I'm not necessairily AT goal Yet.. I do have 14 more lbs to go and 24 more to my ultimate goal.
You guys have some great incentive plans out there.. Keep up the great work!

For me, my incentive will be that every time I lose an additioanal 50 pounds and keep it off for a month, I can buy part of a jewelry set. I love london blue topaz - triliant cut. For the first fifty - a ring. 2nd - earrings. 3rd - necklace. And I'm talking about nice sized stones.
Other things:
-buy sexy underwear
-have some "boudoir" pictures made
-buy a sexy little black dress
-ride a Harley motorcycle
-ride a horse (after I stop being afraid to get close to them)
-play at playing tennis
-ride rollercoasters again
-learn to salsa dance
I think that's a good start.
