Used to be that if we both got in the shower together, it was like that scene from Fantasia with the dancing elephants and hippos. Now there's lots of room to chase each other around in the shower and play games!!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

I can’t wait to:

Where heels again!
Buy a bathing suit/Go to the pool.
Take full body pictures (not just of my face).
Enjoy shopping for new clothes rather than HATE it!
Have confidence!
Have energy!
See old friends I’ve been avoiding like the plague!
Be active and go to gym!

I am new here but couldn,t help but read these lists.Ithought I was the only one that was always looking for a chair to sit in,whether to talk to someone or do dishes or whatever.My husbnd and I separated 10 years ago,I want to see the look on his face when he sees me after the weight is off and realize what he could have had!He used to make fun of my weight.

LOL everyone, these are GREAT! I have a lot of the same "Can't wait fors".

The top 3 for me are:
1. I can't wait to have a visible collar bone.
2. I can't wait to get married next June and be a "skinny" bride.
3. I can't wait to get pregnant and be healthy enough to enjoy chasing children around.

Default Things to look forward to

I was thinking this afternoon what is the main thing, of the hundreds, that I am excited to do when I loose this weight. I cannot wait to fly in an airplane. It was just pure misery to fly with my weight. I would get of off the airplane with an outline of the seat on my legs because it was so tight. I am really looking forward to sit in one of those seats like a person who is at a healthy weight. Any body else looking forward to a similar moment when you loose your weight?
