    To hit 40 fabulously, the celebration starts Dec 5th with a 4-day weekend, every weekend after that and ending on the 20th.
    The last 2 years have made it hard for me to keep going to the gym. The last 2 years on vacation, I got sick and gained 5-7 pounds per trip as I'm usually quite active. There is seriously nothing sexier than a chat with minnie mouse in the hot tub at 2 a.m.. nothing. Oh, and strep throat? yeaaah. awesomeness.

    I've been down the last 6 weeks, but lost 3 pounds in 5 days from surgery which will hopefully keep me from getting sick so much! I should be better by the end of this week and I'm sure a soup diet will make me lose more weight. This gives me about 7 weeks to really hit the gym. We do a relatively small thanksgiving and I won't be able to drink 'til halloween so that will help immensely.

    Just gotta keep from gaining the recent weight I lost!

    I have little rewards every 10lbs or so. My big final reward is a new tattoo and hopefully a trip to Ireland :)

    I saw something on Pinterest about putting a dollar in a jar every time you work out and rewarding yourself when you reach $100. I think I'm going to do that but wait until I reach my goal weight so I'll have the huge pot of money just sitting there.

    I don't know what I would do with it. My mother is very anti-tattoo but I really want one. Maybe the accessories I really want for my car or something...

    I would like to have a nice photo with my husband. The only one I have of us together was on our wedding day (very casual, by the way) when I was at my highest weight.

    In the past I rewarded myself with food but it does not seem to be helping me continue to lose weight so I decided to buy myself a small treat once in a while. Yesterday I bought some Bath and Body Works lotions and perfumes and for my next goal I think I will buy myself some cute shoes!

    Getting into a size 20 means I get to wear my super-cute jeans with a design stitched down the side. I miss wearing those jeans!

    I'm just coming up to the end of my first week so I haven't really thought about it yet, I'm thinking some mini goals might be in order though....
    Starting weight is 205.92lbs that's 93.6kgs, I will have to ponder this some more, though I know a new wardrobe will be needed when I reach my overall goal


    I was going to edit this and put a mini goal of 10lbs but I'm guessing that might be cheating now lol I lost 10lbs!!!!! Woohooo!:love:

    Hitting my goal was a big enough prize in itself! The rewards were helpful along the way though. For "halfway" I got an iPad. I have considered getting a tattoo, but can't decide what or where.

    The one thing I *am* going to do is get a new driver's license. I look nothing like the photo (from 7 years ago) anymore, and I am 100lb below the weight that's listed - which was a lie at the time anyway, lol!

    I haven't done alot of this but as I go new clothes are a necessity so every ten to twenty pounds I hit the thrift stores for smaller sizes since I have shrunk out of my "skinny clothes"! Smaller cuter clothes are a reward in themselves but I think my next reward will be the xbox kinect with some fitness games including just dance! I'm pretty darn excited about it because I love to dance but have always been too self conscious to be a big girl shaking it at the club. My ultimate goal reward may be clubbing in Chi town with the girls shaking it all over the place!

    Just the fact that you've taken off of the weight will be such a huge reward. Slimming down and having your body look more like you been wanting it to look is a fantastic feeling. Improving your mobility and endurance is a reward that is far superior to anything I can think of that money can buy, not to mention what the weight loss alone can do for your self esteem, for most people. Being proud of your body is a lot more fun than being self conscious of it. Then, you also get to buy a new wardrobe of cute clothes that will look good on you. I'm finally getting to where buying clothes is fun! Keep up the good work. I'm sure you'll get there, too.

    A beach-bum vacation with the love of my life. That will be the ultimate gift to myself.

    I have -never- worn a bikini. Ever. It will be so liberating to be able to do this.

    I've decided that after I hit my goal and maintain for six months, I'm buying myself the WRX I've always wanted. Hot b!tches need hot rides, right?
