A little fun and a little dreaming for some...

Kendra, The first is not childish. We are going back to Disney World in 2007 - by then I can go on all the rides and not worry. Lane Bryant is good but wouldn't you like it if she were to go out of business or have to be a normal store????? Thanks for posting... let us know how your goals go. Melinda

Okay, my OH friend, I am post-op about 8 1/2 months. I have accomplished a lot - like losing 121 pounds. I have gone to Great America and ridden tons of rides with my two older kids and hubby and loved every minute - without feet hurting at all!!! I have been working out a lot - working with a personal trainer and loving every minute of that, too - even sweating (weird!) Goals still to achieve: 1) get buff - tone up some of this loose stuff 2) Buy something at Fredericks of Hollywood, don't just look! 3) Get down to under 200 pounds and then to 175. 4) Fly somewhere without the fear of being too fat for the seat (have only flown once to Chicago and back.) 5) Take Swing Dancing lessons with hubby. I'm sure there are more things that I want to accomplish, but too tired to think now. Thanks for the fun thread, Melinda! God bless, Andrea over 350/327 before surgery/206 now/want to be at 175

Andrea, We all need to fly somewhere and when we buckle up and fit in the seat yell "ye ha" I would love to learn to dance but Tommy wouldn't do anything fun like that. It was a fun thread. There had been some sad and unhappy messages and I needed a perk and pick me up. Thanks for being you!!! You are awesome.... Melinda

Hello all, I am almost 3 months out and have lost 61 lbs. and have shrunk from a size 24 to a 16/18. I am feeling good! Here are some things I have accomplished: 1. I am just a large butt! I now am in underwear that is just a large. (my girls thought I was nuts doing my large butt dance in my new underwear). 2. I can sit in the tub and shave my legs and breath at the same time. 3. I can cross my legs when I sit in any chair. Things yet to accomplish: 1. Buy a matching bra and pantie set from Victoria Secret, may just a little on the sexy side of underwear. 2. See my old boss and just smile cause we both know "I can lose the fat, but you will always be a *#^@%" TTFN Jackie

OH my biggie I forgot!!!! I AM NO LONGER MORBIDLY OBESE!!!! My BMI is now classified at "healthy weight" !!!!! I always hated "morbidly obese" they should change it to super chunky! Heather 298/142

I want to give birth (my son is adopted) This is just the top 10. There is soooo many more. This is a good topic. OOHHHH>>>I want to go horse back riding! Buy a nice, classy, sexy dress. And play softball. Shouldn't have gotten me started. LOL! Thanks, Michelle

Michelle..... You dream away sweetie... when the ride gets rough and you're wondering what have I done to myself and my family. Think about this list and just remember that it will one day happen to you.... Thanks for post and being a part of the gang. We are all here for you and believe me if it wasn't for this board... I would feel very alone. Hugs from Heaven Melinda
