    I turn 50 in November, so I want to be at a normal weight by then. I've lost 28 pounds this year ( I started logging in MFP late) and I want to lose 50 by 50!

    My husband left for a job in California last week (it's a yearlong fellowship, so we'll be doing long distance for that year). Our first visit is April 13. I doubt that any weight loss would be visibly noticeable by then, but I'd like to be down a good five pounds or so and have a couple weeks of steady workouts under my belt, to show that I'm off to a strong start (we both have a lot of weight to lose and agreed to each really focus on that during our year of long distance).

    More distant, I'm turning 32 in July - that's also the halfway point in the year, so I want to know that 2017 is not another year of vowing to change and failing to do so - I want some significant, noticeable weight loss by my birthday.

    Bonnaroo Music Festival June 8-11! Every year I only want to wear bikinis, tank tops and shorts because it is so hot and I want to feel comfy in them and take fun photos!

    I don't this year. It's weird because usually there's a beach vacation where I know I'll be in a bathing suit but I decided to take this year off from traveling.

    I do have goals though. I have been seeing some great results the past several months which motivates me to continue on my journey. I crave bettering myself in the gym and reading about nutrition, it's interesting to me. So, while I don't have a particular date in mind. I do have goals and I'm striving for them.

    Have fun on your Disney vacation (I haven't been to Disney since I was about 8 yrs old!)

    Just every day...but I have broken my goals up around a dream trip we are taking with the kids to Italy for Spring Break. So everything is in a 'pre-Italy' or 'post-Italy' state.

    My OH proposed on Friday night. We're having a simple wedding in October. Not sure it specifically motivates me, but another 5kg or so would be good :)

Since I still won't be "hot" though I, expect to; be arrested for indecent exposure but at least I'll have, a picture taken this year that; isn't a selfie to eventually post as my avatar! I just hope they'll let, me get a tan 1st prior to; them hauling me to jail! I should, start saving for; my bail!
