Re: What are your non-traditional goals?

What a great thread!

My non-traditional goals are:

1. To have normal blood pressure
2. To have regular/normal blood sugar levels
3. To fit comfortably in an airplane seat
4. To no longer walk by a mirror in shock that it is really me
5. To learn how to swim the right way!

Lingerie! I really miss wearing it, but don't feel comfortable doing so at this weight.

Re: What are your non-traditional goals?

I agree with everyone else's and here are a few of my own:

1. Be able to hug my hubby really close without our bellies getting in the way

2. Look forward to going to my hometown, and running into people I grew up with, not being scared to see people I know and think about what they are saying

3. Get to a lower weight than when I met my hubby (am only 5 pounds away now!)

4. Be able to say that I stuck with it long term (this is the longest yet, over 2.5 months- and so many to go!)

5. And the best reward ever is shopping for awesome clothes and feeling proud of the size on the hanger when I go through the check out line!!

Keep it up everyone! Great thread

To not be the fattest one in my group of girlfriends, rocking up for a night on the town feeling pretty stylish only to notice that I look like crap compared to them then feeling down on myself for the rest of the night.


To not dread bumping into people who knew me when I was skinny (only 18 months ago!!)


Being able to wear little white shorts with long brown legs and fabulous summer heels!

Re: What are your non-traditional goals?

I've been big all of my life, I would really like to see what my actual body looks like w/o all of the fat.
1.) I want to see a firm back w/o love handles, a tummy w/o rolls.
2.) I would like to not have to make a waist for myself and actually have one.
3.) And to run a marathon.
4.) And to get off the blood pressure meds.

Re: What are your non-traditional goals?

I want to be able to:

1. paint my toenails without having to huff and puff to get my toenails close enough for me to reach them.

2. finally see my appendix scar that I haven't been able to see for about 20 years.

3. Shave my bikini area without having to squish my tummy or move the rolls out of the way. (Sorry, it's gross I know)

4. Not go into depression mode when someone brings out the camera instead of turning my face away, sucking in my stomach, stretching out my neck so my double chin doesn't show as much, etc etc.

5. Do a little private dancing for my hubby without feeling like a cow.

6. Wear a thong or low cut panties without them rolling down under my gut.

7. Wear my engagement and wedding band together on the same finger. (Before starting Atkins my wedding band was too uncomfortable to wear - so far after 8 or 9 days on Atkins I can wear it! Yay!)

There are more but people mentioned them.

Whew, this thread has fired up my determination! Thanks everyone!

Re: What are your non-traditional goals?

My #1 non-traditional goal is exactly like molaurie - to be actually able to cross my legs when I sit. I don't think I've ever been able to do that.

My #2 is to be able to buy an off-the-rack bra. I am a 40H cup, and have to order my girlie things online.
