Hello Augusteers!

I am just curious to know what everyone is going to do once some of this excess weight starts coming off? I have decided that I am going to start saving my pennies because by next summer I know I am going to be ready to take a week long CRUISE to some place sunny and warm. Hopefully by then I won't be so self conscience in a bathing suit and will be able to keep up with my husband while touring all the ports. What fun things do you want to do once you have lost some weight? Joan

Hiyah Joan Going on vacation & getting back on the rollercoasters. Jackie

I want to go next summer back to Wrightsville Beach in the Carolinas. It is beautiful there. I want all three of my kids with me. I want to go to this little resturasunt we went to...that I was uncomfortable in because I could not fit in the booth. I am hoping my irritable bowel will be history and I can join in the fun on the beach. I want to go for a long walk on that beach....with out being tired...or having to keep an eye out where the nearest bathroom is. I also will relish when my kids start school..surprising some of the people who looked down on me because of my weight. I plan on attending more of my kids soccer games ect. COUNTING DOWN,,,,,,,,,ALMOST jULY...JULY 4TH i WILL HAVE ONE MONTH..yeah Mary Lap RNY Aug 4th 2004

Thats what I would like to do, take some really nice vacations and be able to do everything while I'm there. One of the first is taking my son to Disney world and being able to go on some of the rides with him. If he still wants to, hehe, hes 17 now. Maybe to old to go with mom. Patty

Patricia, I think your son would relish celebrating with you . It is certainly worth asking him. I am so happy for all of us!!!!!! Take care. Mary

I also would like to take either a cruise or go to some island where the waters are beautiful. The most important thing for me though will be being more active and doing more things with my kids. My oldest son will start kindergarten in the fall and I plan on being very active in his school and all his activities. Losing the weight will help me fell more confident and let me believe in myself more so I can be the best mom for him and his brother. I would also like to take them to Disney World at some point as I know they would LOVE it. Ginny 8/4/04

To go on a nice long walk with a lot less pain in the knee. Heck, just to be able to really walk and not worry about how close can I park the car to where I need to go. Take an active role in life instead of sitting on the sidelines. Jump in the action and live!!!! My boys and husband can't wait and neither can I! Life is great, getting better. Have a great day.

I'm so excited about the weight loss. I can barely stand to weight til August 4th. I totally agree with Mary Gill, one month left as of the 4th of July. I went to Cozumel 4 years ago and although I did have lots of fun, I think I could have tons more fun if I would have weighed about 130lbs less. It was a beautiful vacation. I will go back, but this time in a bathing suit....

This Christmas I am buying my hubby and I season passes to Busch Gardens for next spring and summer. For those of you who don't know, BG is an amusement park, one here in VA and one in Florida. Then next November we are going to Disney World!!! I want to feel like a Princess!!! I love Cinderella! I am also going to go on a huge shopping spree for new clothes, shoes, and purses!!! Yummy!!! *~Amber~*
