Good Morning, That's so funny, I never heard of a bucket list until the other day, never knew what it was. -  My first would also be hot air ballooning. -  Swim with dolphins -  Go to Graceland -  Parasail -  Learn how to ballroom dance

Attend my granddaughters VIP day and not be the biggest person there.  I'm going tomorrow and I am so honored that she chose me.

Great topic.

Have a good day all!! Beth

My first would be.. 1.  to ride the amusement rides with my daughter. 2..Parasail 3.  Learn to snow ski 4.  go water tubing again

and I just want to say about the horseback riding...I do that now, it isnt easy sometimes cause Im heavy and its hard to keep my balance...I know that once Im thinner I will enjoy it even more and will welcome the oppurtunity to show our horse at horse shows, I would never dare do it now, "the girls" would be entertainment for the entire audience.

Great topic! Mine would be --- * sky diving * dancing, ballroom, tap, belly * yoga  * pilates * go back to finish my college education * complete my plastic surgery * horseback riding (I looked into it, but haven't pursued it yet) * run a marathon * learn how to roller blade * get a bicycle and start cycling I'm sure there are more, but that comes to mind right now.

There are items related to weight loss, there are lots of other things but they aren't impacted by my weight. Some things I've done: -Parasailing -Dance Lessons -Running the marathon -Buying fun clothes -swimming with dolphins Some things I'd like to do: -Biking vacation -hot air ballooning -be more outgoing - this is a work in progress, so it really fits under done and like to do.

Hiya Mary! Thanks for responding. I think we should get a group together to go "hot air ballooning"   Anyone I've ever asked thinks I'm totally crazy...but yet here, there seems to be several people interested.  Perhaps we can get a group rate? I have 2 more papers to write this semester, but after, I'll try to look into it....unless someone else reading this would like to before (which would be fine with me...look into prices, dates and locations) and post it and see who is interested....sounds awesome! Mary, I can't wait to meet you...hopefully soon!

I grew up water-skiing and absolutely love it...haven't done it in years.  If the opportunity presents itself, I am there! Horseback riding I first tried as an adult--what an adventure.  After the initial terror of trotting, I found that I love cantering!  Now that you reminded me, I really want to go; there's a stable & trails in my town.  but since I'm having surgery on 4/17, I don't think there's time before (what with mad Passover cleaning and thankfully 2 job interviews scheduled... ) I WILL go after I get medical clearance; my son loves to go with me.  I'm curious to see if it will be different with the weight loss--they'll certainly give me a smaller horse--I aways got the huge ones!  THANKS--great thread!
