With weight loss comes changes in our bodies, of course...so what change are you looking forward to the most?


I'm SO ready and excited to get rid of my back fat. I hate it. I've got really defined hips, and that's where my weight goes.

Yay to a sexy back!

I want my dual spare tire to melt away!!! I know it won't completely go but it makes the difference between wearing a 12 and wearing a 6!!!

I cannot wait to fit in to this CUTE pink and white bikini I bought 2 years ago when I was able to...I CANNOT wait until I am back at that size!!!

Just want to wear my size 11's again. Oh, and "be gone!" double chin

LOL, I second the double chin gone idea

Toned arms! I had those huge upper arms that kinda spread when I wasn't holding them over my head. Now I'm starting to get some definition in them, and you can actually see my biceps! (although the right one is bigger than the left b/c I've been playing a lot of tennis.... guess I should do something about that!). Also, shoulder blades - I love when people have gorgeous backs and you can see their shoulder blades - it just looks so sexy in a tank top.

My prepregnancy clothes. My pretty dresses. My swimsuits.

Being able to see the hey, you're cute look and know that it's for real.

My list is pretty long.. but I'd say one of the things I look forward too first, is not having to wonder if I'll fit in a chair somewhere. I avoid those plastic outdoor seats because they just do not fit my big butt.

Going on trips and planning to walk and move and see and do more than I could before. I lived abroad for 4 months in 2004 and just did not have the stamina or ability to do everything I wanted to. In other words, I don't want my weight to hold me back!

wyllenn, I hear ya there. We went to Las Vegas last year and I was dying in the heat with my black pants on while everyone else was dressed up in nice little shorts and skirts. I blew up so bad from the heat (retained water) and it was dreadful. Every night I soaked in the tub to try to reduce my puffiness. I felt like I just didn't belong there.

Abbeycat -- Exactly. And I hadn't even thought of the clothes issue -- I haven't been able to wear comfortable clothes on trips... in ... forever I think, so it just didn't occur to me. But you're right -- being able to wear shorts and such will be wonderful!

I did move and walk on vacations, but it always completely wiped me out!

looking great in the wedding dress that I optimistically bought a size too small! Getting rid of the back fat!!! Wow, I didn't even realize there was so much there!

I am looking forward to being able to climb a mountain again. I want to look great in cute clothes, too, but mostly I'd like to reach the level of fitness I had in college.

Though I'd also like to pose for family photos next to my (much thinner) sister and not be too ashamed of myself to look at them.

I'd love to reduce breast and abdomen fat, mostly. And upper-arm fat.

Being able to break out in a sprint when I need to get somewhere quickly would be cool. I'd also like to wear fashionable clothing again!

I CANT WAIT to be able to wear all the cute clothes i see all the time, feel good about myself, have more energy, be healthier, and more importantly, get attention from the opposite sex. (lol, just kidding.) But in all seriousness, I'd love to be able to walk down the hallways at school, look at the boys and actually be able to think, "HA! You wish!"
