I'm only about 12 lbs from my original goal weight. TWELVE POUNDS! :bigsmile:

While I'm sure I won't be "satisfied" with my body in 12 more pounds, when I set my goal, I thought that hitting 140 lbs was attainable and would give me a decent body that I could be good with, and start the "refining" process. (toning)

SO, I'm considering, when I lose these 12 more pounds, having a goal weight party.

I am thinking of inviting a few friends (3 of them) to spend an evening with me. All of them are stay at home moms like me.

Maybe get a hotel room for the 4 of us, find out about getting a cab for the day/night.

Go get mani/pedis, maybe go get makeup done at the mall, go try on clothes and buy an outfit, have dinner out at like Olive Garden or someplace like that, hit a couple of bars/clubs, and then go back to the hotel and watch a scary movie before we go to bed. And then have breakfast somewhere in the morning before we all go home.

What do you all think? :smile: I think it would be fun, and I think I'll have enough time to save up to pay for most of the expenses for everyone (at least the hotel and cab).

Please let me know what you think, and if you can think of any other ideas, I'd be open to it for sure! :flowerforyou:

    I think that sounds awesome! You are such an inspiration and I think it's important to reward yourself for hitting goals. I have a problem setting them but I say party it up once you hit yours! I also think its great that you are close to your goal and are already preparing for the next one! It's not all about being skinny, it's about being healthy and looking your best!

    Take your girls out and tear up the town! You have earned it!

    I am planning a big celebration for hitting one of my big goals. I am 11 pounds away from loosing 100 pounds and as a reward we are planning a big trip. I will not be done in 11 pounds, I still have another 40 or 50 to go but I had set 100 as the marker for my reward. GO FOR IT! We all deserve rewards for our hard work. Congrats on your success!
