* Ziplining (I happen to live near Canada's longest zipline). I'm hoping to do this in the fall, as well.
*Kayaking
* Down hill skiing (I've never had the guts or co-ordination)
* Play indoor soccer on an "old-timers" team
*Roller skating - heck... maybe even join a roller derby team
The list is endless.
I'm so impressed by all of you who mentioned opening yourself up to the possibility of being with someone in a love-interest kind of way. That takes real courage to put yourself out there if it is "new" territory. The truth is, if you really love yourself, others will find it easier to love you, too. Good luck on the search for Mr. Right!!
I have done a 5k run and plan to do more.
Yes Dance! I have also gone back to the radio and listen alot to the songs popular in high school. I seem to have that more of a care free feeling, I am not as stuffy.
I am 36 and my kids jjust think I have gone nuts. My daughter ( 13yrs old) says I am just trying to be cool. She says it's not working... I am enjoying it though!
Here's my (provisional) bucket list
1) Hike the Inca Trail up to Macchu Piccu and see the sun rise over the Andes
2) REALLY climb the Great Wall of China (I was only able to get halfway up to one of the towers the last time I went)
3) CN Tower Stair Climb
4) Run, full-tilt, as hard and as fast as I can, for 2 full minutes.
5) Ziplining - anywhere and everywhere I can
6) Paragliding and or parasailing
7) Bungee-jumping
8) Canopy walk between the tree-tops in Haliburton
9) Surfing
Can't think of any more right now. The love-thing??? Well, for that you have to be willing to trust them. probably not gonna happen in this lifetime ... but I'm open to trying AGAIN.
I like to think I am "the cool" mom now too.

When I think of all the things I missed out on, all the invitations I turned down to do things because of my weight and shame, I feel really sad. I chose not to participate. I think I still need work on that.
I have a wonderful husband who loved me and thought I was beautiful and made me feel sexy when I was at my heaviest. I feel good about that.
I want to wear sexy clothes and shoes. At the moment I never want to wear loose fitting clothes again.
I for the first time am enjoying the attention and different treatment I get from men. Yes, I discuss this with my husband NO I'm not looking for anything else.
After plastics I am hoping to look good in a bikini. My ultimate goal would be for my husband and I to go on a vacation somewhere where I could wear that thing 30 hours a day!!!
Great post.
2. go snowshoeing next winter!
3. swim in public with no worries!
4. play soccer again
...just to name a few!
