What Firsts Will Happen for you This Year?

I'm hoping to go on my first horse camping trip (with my own horse).  At 266 pounds, this would not have been possible-I wouldn't have had the energy to load the horse and the truck, let alone drive out, set up camp and go for a ride.

 

Like weight loss, this dream will take some work.  I 'm learning to drive the trailer, learning to ride the horse, etc.  Dreams coming true usually do involve a little effort. 

 

When you lose weight you don't automatically KNOW how to do some things you've always wanted to try-and it takes a little courage to learn-but without the weight, it is POSSIBLE to do these things.

So, what's on your to learn list? 

I am so excited for you Debra.  This will be so awesome for you.  I have so many things I want to do this year.  The first thing on my list would be able to accept a complement and just say "thank you".  Thats been hard for me but I'm getting better when it pertains to me and how I look. 

We are in the early stages of stalking about our "first" cruise.  I want to try to snorkle for one thing and have always dreamed of parasailing......  I don't know if I can get up for that one this year but I will definately try the snorkleing!!!  I sure wouldn't have thought about that at 408 either!!! 

I'll go snorkeling here locally with you any time you want to try.  It's not as fabulous as Mexico, but when it's hot, it's great exercise.

I'd love to go try.  When it gets warm enough we'll get together.  Where to you go?  Do you have the stuff or what do I need to get??  Thanks!!!

Snorkeling in Oklahoma?  Where in the heck would we do that???  That you would have any visibility? 

I wanted to parasail so bad on the  2 cruises I went on, but I didnt want to do it alone and myself and anyone other than a infant, (LOL) was over the weight limit.  I am going on another cruise this September hopefully I may be able to try it then.

I had RNY 12/29 and have lost 3lbs is this normal? Am I doing something wrong? Please PM me if anyone has ideas.

Thanks
Sharon

We need to talk cruises....

Not a complete first but definately a first for me is the ability and energyto get a wild hair and pack up for the weekend at the lake and I SOOOOOOOO want to be able to take my kids to the zoo and be able to walk around it without dying. To show them all the wonderful animals out there with out the need of a mobility device. I live din another state growing up and the yearly visit to the zoo when we visted family was always one of my best memories and I want to share that with them.

i am in hopes to run a couple of 5K" s this Spring......I have been working towards this all along and hopefully i am ready

For the first time in my memory, I will be healthy.  I will lose the weight that is tying me down and I will fly free into the activities I have been denied due to obesity.  I will run, I will ride a bike, I will ride a roller coaster, I will play with my daughter, I will love my wife for supporting me.  I will become greater than the person I am while becoming smaller than the person I am.

I WILL LIVE AGAIN AND ALL YOU "LOSERS" ARE MY INSPIRATION!
