    I'm gonna say bike.

    You'll get stronger legs/smaller butt/fresh air & making memories with the kids! :drinker:


    I agree

    Go for a tattoo if it's meaningful to you. I got my when I turned 25 after my grams passed away. Just remember it's forever and additive to some so I've hear.

    Go for the tattoo. Cross train with strength training. Don't worry about the tat shift, the tiny bit of weight you have left to get to goal wont shift it anyways.

    Get the tat and I'll know who you are then at the 1/2 in Philly!!! :glasses:

    Go for the tat, to justify spending the money you earned might make it difficult to actually part with, ,,for an item you might later see as being a luxury (the tat). Whereas, spending your hard earned cash on a bike for exercise might seem like a necessity, and parted with a little easier....then maybe you can get both without feeling so guilty!

    Make sure it's some place you won't regret....and be aware, it takes a few minutes, and I don't care what people say,...it hurts!

    I have to say go for the bike.
    I have a cheap bike from Target, and it's just not as comfortable of a ride as I would like. If I had the extra cash, I would have gone for the upgrade.
    I'd save the tat until I got to my body goal.
    Just an opinion

    Here's a fun and wild idea. You could pay off some debt. Or maybe put it in savings. Maybe invest it.
    I dunno, I'm a nut like that.

    XSarge,
    Silly guy......... she said that the gift had a stipulation that she had to spend it on herself... :laugh:

    what making a credit card payment isn't a purchase? :yawn:

    My reward when I get to my goal weight will be a tattoo of an anchor & rope on my side. It has a lot of symbolic meaning in many aspects of my life, so I know exactly what you mean about the tree!My vote is for the tattoo!

    trees have such great inspiration to them, i love them mainly because of the relation to darwin and variation...the strongest branches don't break off, they bloom, and provide new life. :smile:

    i say get the tattoo!!!

    Yes, they hurt while they're being done, but it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. :laugh:
    I've heard it depends a lot on where you get it done; less flesh underneath = more pain. I also agree about thinking long and hard about WHERE you put it - like it or not we all shift/sag as we age and some places on the body just aren't going to stay the same, no matter how much you work out! Mine's on the inside of an ankle - that's an area that's never going to change drastically throught the years. A tat is something only YOU can do for YOU......:wink: Anybody can help you get a bike....

    Tattoo is cool - but BE SURE you see work from whoever is doing it - not just generic samples THEIR own work before you do it.....

    I would go with the bike - with it, you're sharing your thirst for health with your kids too....and I have a tattoo....been there done that and sometimes wish I wouldn't have.
