Hey there everyone, I'm a few weeks in and so far I have lost 11 pounds. I've done weight loss programs before, with little success. But now I have a plan with measurable results and I am more determined then ever!!

One way I want to try and get myself motivated to follow through with a long term plan is to promise myself something I've wanted for a long time after I've weighed in below 200lbs. A NEW TATTOO!!!!! I have one so far but I have a bunch that I'm planning, but one new one would be awesome!!

Very Excited!!!

CW: 232.2lbs

    I think this is an excellent idea, for a couple of reasons. One: it rewards you for one hell of a lot of hard work. Two: it gives you yet another reason to keep the weight off in the future. No one wants their (insert random design here) tattoo to end up looking all deformed, stretched out, and generally godawful.

    I also wanted a dragon tattoo on my butt but was scared I would end up with a very short, wide dragon! (Also I'm a scaredy-cat!). Great plan, I hope your design will be something appropriate, like a goddess or a symbol for strength or something?
