Most people had already cleaned out their pantries, and they shared their stories in the original group.1

THURSDAY CHALLENGE: Share what you will treat yourself with when you reach your goals.
My husband and will be treating ourselves to a cruise!

Once I hit my goal I'm going to splurge on the next section of my "family matriarch" tattoo. I've been putting it off because it goes around my upper arm and I want to be toned and fit before I get it.

I have been saving money for a year to go on a clothes shopping spree. I have saved birthday and Christmas money and then I also have entered a couple of diet bets and I am going to add those winnings to the fund as well. My goal is to get to my goal weight by New Years and then it is shopping time!!! I haven't done much in the way of shopping in a couple years (except for maternity clothes) so I am very lacking in the clothes department.kimpacheco22 wrote: »THURSDAY CHALLENGE: Share what you will treat yourself with when you reach your goals.

The trip sounds amazing. Is it already booked? Where are you going? I really want to go on a trip for my 30th birthday (which is in fall of 2017) but I'm not sure if it will pan out because I'm not sure who will watch my kids. And taking a 3 year old and a 1 year old doesn't sound as fun.

Well I already had to splurge & buy some clothes (because they were literally falling off) but I'll need to do it again when I reach the end. A trip sounds great and if we can I would love to do that as well but I'd be more than satisfied with the everyday happiness of clothes that aren't severely outdated & still fit.1

This is a good one since I hadn't really thought about what I'd when I meet my end goal, since we love to travel it's no doubt a trip of some sort. But since I'll be fit and healthy what better time to do a couple of our favorite things camping and hiking in a beautiful place, not 100% sure where yet but I have so many bucket list locations the hardest part will be deciding where to go! So I'll attach a picture of my husband and I hiking in Crater Lake National Park last year, the 700ft vertical climb back out of the caldera in 1mile was one of the hardest physical things I've done in a long time since I was so out of shape!

Tattoo and new clothes!!3

I hadn't really thought about it, but most likely I will buy myself a serger sewing machine. I have been coveting one since I started sewing more kids clothes, and I could use it to sew some one of a kind pieces for me too!4
-
I'm going to buy new clothes and a trip back to algeria4
-
@akmomof7 sorry, off topic, but I need some sewing advice. Last year I hand sewed name labels on my kids clothes for school, but I've been looking at some handheld sewing machines. You think it will serve the same purpose?0
-
@FarahAmrane oh yeah definitely new clothes for me too! I don't think I'd look cute in my current clothes once I lose my 70 pounds. Lol3
-
@Scorpio8402 ooooh new tattoo! Good idea.0
-
@jenniebean310 I've been wearing the same 7 outfits to work for the past three years because I refuse to get comfy1
-
Never really thought about it but I would néed new clothes, but I think I would specifically buy new bathing suits and a stand up paddle board, because my family and I go to a lake a lot on the weekends and I think that would be fun for next summer2
-
I don't know. We're all about the practical and our budget is really tight.
I need more professional clothes for my new job, and I am looking forward to smaller sizes. I'm mostly a large now in tops and (due to my problem area being the "apron" lower belly) 14/16 bottom.
I was barely fitting into 18's and needed 2x last year. BoYA!
At some point I'd like to buy and feel confidant in something sexy for my hubs.

@kimpacheco22 I feel ya', they hit a point for me where I had to do some wardrobe changes but when I hit the final goal & bring sexy back it'll come again.2

@bbgraine I haven't booked anything yet. We're still setting money aside, but my husband would like to go to Cancun. I was thinking of joining a diet bet. Any suggestions on which ones are worth it?0

FRIDAY CHALLENGE: Share your favorite cheat meal. While it's okay to treat yourself to a cheat meal, it's not okay to cheat everyday. Lol. Let's commit to rewarding ourselves only when we have reached our short term goals.
PIZZA! I love pizza!!! And it never fails, every weekend we order pizza. I pledge not to order pizza this weekend.0 -
French fries! I can't be trusted around French fries! So I suppose my cheat meal would be A big juicy burger on a pretzel bun with a side of french fries.1

If you want to lose at least 10% of your body weight than the transformer ones are awesome (I am in 3☺️). You have 6 months to lose the weight but there are monthly goals that you need to hit. The largest amount you have to lose in a month is 3 per cent which I am usually able to lose. The one month ones are a 4 per cent loss and I find those ones much harder. I have done 2 of them and lost one and won one. So far I haven't lost any rounds of my transformers. Plus I think the pay out is a lot better. I think it's about $300 for a $125 bet. But we shall see. My first one ends next month.

Favourite cheat meal is sushi. Lots and lots of sushi! In fact, I am going out for sushi with my husband today. But it is ok because we are going mountain biking after and that will burn a ton of calories. It's our favourite date day.1
-
Red meat!!!! I cheated twice this week with all the back to school charades but I worked hard too & pledge to stay away from it for two weeks.1
-
I agree with the sushi! We haven't gone in a while. My husband 's birthday is in September, so we might do that then. Of course, the twins have their birthday in September also and there will definitely be chocolate cake for that, and that seems like a lot of off plan things in one month! So, we will see! Most likely it depends on hubby's scale, remember that iron will of his? If we don't get sushi for his birthday, we will definitely do it for our anniversary in October (29 years! ).1

I'm a fast food junkie, or was previously. I have much more self control now though so am able to stay away from it for the most part.1
-
@bbgraine Thanks! I'll check it out.0
-
@jenniebean310 Tell me about it, this back to school shenanigans killed me this week.1
-
My cheat meal would have to be ordering out chinese food1
-
@jmroemer I love Chinese food!!!1

It actually works better for me and I'm having far more success working in treats daily. I'm just making them small. Like if there's doughnuts in the house, a quarter doughnut or half if I'm really craving them.
I've failed too many times with limiting.
Lately I've been keeping hard candy around and some days I'll just suck on one piece and some days I'll have 5 or 6.
Instead of a whole cheat meal, I pick something really important I enjoy and have that with my meal. Like, talipia and steamed veggies at a nice restaurant but I'll splurge and split a lovely appetizer with my hubs.
While I am loving this group, I think it's also important to remember that balance is different for different people.

Cheat meal for me is Thai food and dessert.
