I have this crazy goal that once I get to goal I am going to ride The Royal rush skycoaster, which for any one who doesnt know, is this huge skycoaster that hangs over Royal Gorge(a huge canon in Colorado). you get into this huge harness lying on your stomach. you then get propelled out over the canon at whichi point you are 1200 feet above ground and swing back and forth over it going 50mph.  I don't know why I choses this I have a crazy fear of hights, but I kind of feel like it represents a fresh beginning, and a new way of looking at life.  Anyways wanted to knwo if anyone else has any goals like this.

I went on the Superman roller coaster at Six Flags Great America and it is kind of like that (not nearly as extreme, but the on the stomach thing so you feel like you're flying) and it was AWESOME.  My top 5 craziest goals.... 1.  Ride every roller coaster I encounter (to make up for all the years I couldn't fit in the seats!) 2.  To study abroad (AND THIS MIGHT COME TRUE THIS SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!! and I never would have been confident enough to dare to do this pre-op) 3.  To be lift-able (preferrably by my husband...) 4.  To be able to run 10 miles non-stop (I've gotten up to 3, but I get to about 3 1/2 - 4 and I have to walk for a while) 5.  To get published (this may not seem WLS related...but it SO is)

Oh I have always wanted to study abroad, and I know what you mean about not feeling confident at a heavier weight. Good luck I hope your able to do this.

I too have always wanted to go skydiving its just a little to much for me to think about at this point. I figure I'll do the skycoaster thing, and if I survive I can move on to skydiving. LOL

No real crazy goals.  Maybe a trip or something.  Then again, home sounds nice.

A trip sounds fantastic. im full of wonderlust so my biggest dream is to take a roadtrip across the u.s. It's more about teh money thing than the weight for me though. As soon as I have the money i'll do it. I admitt it'll be better now that i'm getting to a normal weight though.

I've always been a big fan of sports and athletics...even at a higher weight...I was always really active in high school and pretty successful. I guess my craziest goal is to run a marathon after I lose all the weight...super fun!

I tried to train for a 5k before my surgery and it didn't work out so now Im back to training. I think running a marathon is great goal.

I have a few: I love to dance, so I will be taking a tap, ballet, modern and Jazz dance class once I reach goal. I want to learn to swim, for real, not just float under the water, so I will take some classes. Study abroad also.  I want to visit the Gambia and London. Run a Marathon. Lastly I plan to be the first to approach a man. I know not real life or death stuff just radical stuff I wouldnt think of doing being the size I am now.
