I am in the crowd of those hoping for cute clothes and double takes!! I cant wait. It feels so good to look good.

I also like the way I feel when I am strong. I like that when I am invited to do things that require physical endurance or strength, I can join in with everyone else and dont have to be embarrassed and have to say no because I CANT do it.

OMG I didnt know other people wore shorts under their skirts so their thighs dont chafe!!!!!! I HATE HAVING TO DO THAT but you know what? Unfortunately, Im not ever going to be able to stop that. When I weighed 115 (Im 5'3 1/2") as a teen they still did that. I carry weight there and I think its the way they are positioned, the way my pelvis is, they sit narrow together.

It is one thing that would drive me to have some sort of lipo... getting that rubbing to stop. I went walking in the park with a guy yesterday in a skirt and am paying for it today. And it hurt the whole time it was happening and I couldnt say anything and he wanted to go further and further UGH! :^: I would have worn under-shorts but I didnt plan to stop and walk that much. I hate that I cant look forward to an end to that.

I agreed with Jilly, amusement parks are a nightmare for the bigger crowd, I would also like to buy the absolutely gorgeous clothes that are in style and not have to worry about how it will look because I will look awesome!!!

another reason two words kama sutra ;)

I just want to finally be happy about my body after being overweight since the 3rd grade. Shopping in stores with regular sizes is definately something I'm looking forward to and will be reaching that before I know it.

I also want to be in better shape so I can do physical things with my family like play soccer, tag, or hide and seek.

I want a lot of things (more energy, being able to buy pretty clothes, avoiding certain health risks) but if I had to pick just one, well, I think it'd be nice to be able to go to a meeting and not look around to see if I'm the fattest woman there... or worse yet, the only fat person of either sex in the whole room. I'm working toward the day when I no longer have to think about that at all.

My goal is to look absolutly fabulous in the wedding gown that i fantasize about every single day! I still probably have 3 years till i get to wear it sooo i should be looking great by then! :D

To run 2+ miles nonstop and not get so tired so easily.

You want to know what i want???

I want to be able to shop wherever i want. I want to be able to show my fashion sense to the world. I am tired of all these beautiful thin girls...haveing clothing faux pas. I want to teach 'em! (i am into fashion design)

I want to be show the people that i put me down, that i can!

I want to most importantly, feel great and not think about how fat i am...or how bad i look in this or that.

There are many things...I want what all of you want too. From better bra's to feeling good.

I want to be happy.

I would really like to fit into rental scuba gear. I hate going into a shop and only being able to wear the XXL (which is sized for a 6'5" man) and then missing the trip and going back disappointed.

Of course, even when I get to goal, I may find the problems is being short and not just being out of proportion and short.

I want to be able to buy anything I want from the Gap.
I want the smallest size at Lane Bryant to be huge on me.
I want to be able to ride all the rides at Disneyland.
I want to walk into a store and have several attractive men hit on me.
I want to be light enough to pick up.
I want to feel more confortable in a tiny two seat convertable.
I want to have a BMI in the normal range.
I want to feel good about my body.
