Like so many of you said above, my list is long... here are few that are pretty close to the top:
Looking forward to....
- Wearing cute clothes, I want to dress my age!
- Keep up with my ultra active husband
- Wear shorts without any worries! (right now I consider capris shorts, I want REAL shorts back!)
- Go to a beach or the pool in my bathing suit! not my bathing suit with shorts and tshirt over it!
- Be able to paint my toenails without getting out of breath or my tummy getting in the way of bending straight forward
- be noticed, in a good way!

Gosh the list could go on and on.. writing this all down is a really good motivator! Thanks for this thread!

EVERYTHING you all have said is definatly on my list. back fat sucks!! I'm always trying to pull my bra down in the back to try and make it less noticable! melissa1025, i agree with the whole "capris are my shorts". I have not worn shorts in years. It would be nice to be able to walk around in clothes that are weather appropirate and not have to worry about sweating all the time. My list is so long, I love that we can all talk about it so comforably about it. KEEP ON GOING GIRLS!!! best of luck

Oo, I'm looking forward to knowing that everything in my closet fits, and I don't have to go through a long process of trying on and rejecting my own clothes.

Ug, rejecting clothes! I did that again this week! I have a closet full of shirts and only 2 fit me properly! I got a stain on one and...now I have one shirt. I don't want to buy stuff because I know the others will fit soon...but this is just getting old! I feel your pain!!

Hmmm...I mainly just want to see a single digit size on a piece of clothing that I'm wearing...lol. I guess that means I want my belly to shrink! Oh, yeah and that back fat! It's getting to be less though, so not too worried there anymore. It was getting bad.

I've been bemoaning the fact that I'm losing my hips! Yes, I was carrying fat through the hip area, but that's what gave me CURVES! Oddly enough, I'd keep all the fat in my hips if I could...hehe. Just the hips though, not the saddlebags or butt!

The biggest thing for me was just increased mobility. Being able to walk without sheer exhaustion and my face getting dark red. Being able to get in and out of a vehicle comfortably, or off the floor without 2 people to assist me. Being able to move without shortness of breath. The smaller clothes do feel great, but the increased energy and feeling of "normalcy" regarding moving around and getting out of my house are the best benefits that I have received. I am no longer afraid to attend my DD's school functions for fear that I might have to walk farther than I can make it.

Same here. Aside from having less-than-attractive legs, shorts creep up between my thighs in the most unflattering and uncomfortable way. Thank goodness capri pants are stylish, still!
