    Just for fun: I'm buying myself a new set of pots and pans when I manage to maintain a weight under 200 lbs for three months. No more hand me down, Teflon coated, probably manufactured before I was born cookware.

    We can do this!

    1. Wear a bikini not just at home but be comfortable to wear it anywhere - rec center pool when taking my daughter swimming, pool parties with friends, at the creek where we go as a family to cool off.
    2. size 6 shopping spree (this will also have to wait until my hubby's start-up business gets off the ground and we have more income)

    Looking foward to this challenge!
