things we would like to be able to do ....

[Ruthiep]

You have done so well Ruthie, well done on achieving so much so quickly. I long for the day that I am pain free.

You'll get there hun xxx

 

[Jamast]

I wanted to be able to buy lovely clothes anywhere ...check.
I wanted to be pain free from my arthritis in my spine...check.

...and my knees....check.

...and my right foot...not quite yet.

I wanted to fit into all those clothes I kept from last time I was slim...check. (some are even too big!!)

Now my goals are:

To lose one more stone, to bring me to 10st 0.
To maintain without worry.
To wear that gorgeous River Island dress without feeling it's a bit tight...I have worn it twice and feel and look great in it but it IS a little tight. It's an extremely skimpy size 14, smaller than some size 12s I own. But I love it so much that I can't just wait for it to fit more comfortably.

You look fantastic and have worked hard to meet your personal goals. I only hope that I can be as committed and successful once I have my op ( I definately intend to be) x

 

[HiddenBeauty]

Cosplay catwoman, Harley Quinn and bayonetta at the Mcm expo one year
Leather pants and a new rock leather coat
New rock malica heels
Wear any heels lol
Roller coasters
Fly with good belt and tray down
Learn to drive
Wear a corset

I know him asking me has nothing to do within my weight but if my partner asks me to marry him I want to be able to wear the dress I've had penned in for the past 10 yrs without having it custom made.

We all aren't so different really are we? A lot of us want what most people take for granted like wearing heels or going to any clothes shop and buying something that fits. The dream is becoming reality people enjoy xxx

 

[Cicca]

The things we want change as the weight drops off;

Mine was a bit like Caren - the bottom issues initially. To walk and feel part of life again.

Then was all the clothes and actually going on holiday and fly for the 1st time in years!

5 years on its all a bit like an old slipper, it's part of life, the new life that include mirrors in every room in my house!! Best present I ever gave myself!

[Wonderlust]

I want to be able to go back to work
I want to be able to ride my Motorbike again

 

[Nanny Og]

I want to see my son & grandsons grow up.

I want to like good in skinny jeans & bikers jacket (must check loft to see if it's still there)
To get a pair of New Rock boots - maybe get a motorbike again (hubby can't stand them)
Get a ladies T shirt when I go to concerts
I'm waiting on Magnum announcing UK tour dates and I want to be slim for that.

And......a time machine to take me back to 1984.....what a year.....I loved it

 

[Fuffs]

See my boys grow up and have kids, camp at many festivals without hurting too much, jump up and down all night at a drum n bass night warring skinny jeans and a fitted t shirt, take up kickboxing and learn street dance

Being a fit fatty as meant I have been able to do lots of things. But my confidence has stopped me doing some things I was already physically able to do.

My confidence is growing bit by bit. Can't wait to treat myself to street dance classes in a few months time
