New activities after weight loss

Thread Starter  

I was reading on another post where the woman stated she wanted to take up parachuting when she reaches goal, and I was wondering what others are also planning?

I would like to learn ballroom dancing.

So what are your ambitions?

:)

My ambitions are more sports oriented. I want to compete in a triathlon. I want to run a marathon. I want to go big or go home.

I've never let my weight stop me doing anything, and I was lucky never to go above a BMI of 36 but this weekend I've done my Austswim certificate - I'm starting work as a swim teacher to supplment my studies - and it was just so darn GOOD to not be the fat one in the class. In a class of 40 or so doing the weekend course, lots of beautiful young 18 to 25 year olds, plus a few of us late 30's, early 40's people, and as one of the older ones, I had NO shame about spending two days in a bathing suit amongst strangers. None at all, in fact I felt great and was in better shape than half the younger ones.

I did almost start a swim teaching job four or five years ago - it didnt work out due to child care issues - and whilst I was keen, I was frantic at the thought of having to walk around in front of staff and parents in a bathing suit. I would have felt awkward and uncomfortable.

Start travelling again now that I am looking good again.

Short term I want to do a 5K, and I want to more than walk all of it! Long term I want to do a 1/2 marathon with a couple people from my Church.

Wow! I cant believe so many people want to run a marathon.. I know this is gonna sound stupid, but I think I will always be too fat to run one, regardless of how fat I am

I have taken up karate though now that Ive lost weight. Always wanted to.

Next year I'm going to atart riding horses again. I used to love it but i stopped..felt bad for the horse! haha

I also want to rollerblade..gotta learn how to...

I want to run a 5k (gotta start small) :)
I am planning on getting my kids envolved in the Couch to 5K workout so they can do it with me.

I want to play golf (I am WAY to large chested to properly swing a club - hmmm, not sure that's going away though)

I want to learn tennis - rather than just chasing the stinkin' yellow ball around!!
