Looking for friends that have a travel linked objective

Hi all,

Not sure if I'm posting in the right spot, but I thought I'd try here.

I need motivation. Bad.

I have 4 months to loose 30 pounds for my Costa Rica trip. Anyone else wants to loose to look good on trip pictures? I know that I'm going zip lining. They'll ask for my weight. I don't want to say 200 pounds. Silly, but an objective nonetheless.

Let me know!

I travel to Europe regularly because my dad lives there. Last may I was there and upon my return I weighted myself for the first time in years. The scale hit 194. I sat and cried, I knew I had gained weight but never paid attention because I was doing a restoration project on my 125 year old house for the past 5 years and had no time to do anything else or be social. Well I was going back to Europe at the end of sept (and I am still there for another few days) and because I had several invitations for outings, I was determined that no one would see me that way. On June 3rd, I got my Wii Fit out, hooked up with MFP shortly after and completely changed my eating habits. I am 40lbs lighter today and feel awesome, I still have another 10 or so to go which will be gone in due time. I eat everything in controlled portions and drink wine regularly. I know I can live live that for the rest of my life. YOU CAN TOO.:flowerforyou: My next travel is S.FL to see my kids in early December, they do not know I have lost all this weight, I can't wait to see the look on their face, my son is getting married next Oct, I want him to be proud of me, one more eason to stick to this healthy lifestyle. Feel free to friend me for extra support.

As you know, I'm doing it for disney. I want to ride the rides without having to check if i'm under the weight restrictions. Disney is huge... i don't want to be the one holding the family back because i'm not in shape. But i'm also setting smaller goals for myself. I went skating with my daughter last weekend (and will go again this weekend!)... i had to take some breaks, but i went. i have a cottage on the lake weekend planned for new years, and i want to fit into my lounging wear / track suits that i haven't worn for 2 or 3 years. that's 10 weeks for 2 sizes. i should be able to do that. then i'll set a goal for valentines, etc.

You have 4 months, that's 16 weeks... set 5 goals of 3 weeks each...
i can always loose 10 lbs - 10 times. But to loose 100 lbs, just thinking it is exhausting!
