So.. the title says it all :)
I'd like to find out how will you celebrate reaching your goal!
I personally decided that once I reach my desired looks ( not weight, because the numbers can be misleading :P ) I wanna have a professional photo shoot where I go from fully dressed to naked. I'd like to believe that once I'm there, and on the way, I'll regain confidence in my looks and self esteem, and put all that into something that will treasure my beauty.

What are your ideas? Share with us, and perhaps inspire someone else to celebrate their own goal (and boost their motivation ;) ) :)

    Big freaking shopping spree, I have been saving up money since I started this journey for that, it is accumulating :happy:

    I have considered a lingerie photo shoot too but not sure if I will or not, but the shopping is a definite.

    I'm going to put together a proper capsule wardrobe - between 10-12 pieces, but good quality.

    I am going to buy two dresses.....on will be the kind of slinky skanky clubbing dress that I have always secretly wished I could have, and the other one will be classy and gorgeous that I'd feel great in at weddings and the like.

    A photoshoot sounds like a good idea. I was going to do photo shoots every 10lbs down or so but i gave up on that idea because i was too afraid to meet photographers that i didn't know. Other than that i'm not sure. Maybe since i haven't ever partied i'll buy myself a nice outfit and go to a club :O! I don't know. i'm honestly open to idea's.

    When i reach my goal, i'll make another. I'm more interested in fitness than weight loss, but once i get to my ideal weight, i can't wait to take off my shirt before running in public.

    I want to go shopping!! That's my favorite thing to do now so I know it'll be fun when I'm at my goal!
    I also want to get my certification to teach a fitness class because those people are amazing in my eyes!
    Lastly I want to have pictures done and put my before and after side by side and keep it as motivation to keep pushing!

    Shopping, shopping shopping!!! I'm more of a tank and jeans kinda gal but once I reach my ideal weight I'm going to show off my flat toned tummy in cute swim suits and flattering dresses and tops! (And a boudoir like photoshoot with the love of my life!) But after all is said and done I'm going to find a new goal and push myself even further!

    You never really know what your capable of unless you push yourself! :wink:

    Like other people here have said; get a new wardrobe.

    I'm almost there but it may have to wait until after I get out of grad school and some real money to come my way. :P

    Also, another tattoo would be lovely.

    I gave myself a slap on the *kitten* and did a happy dance...and soon realized that hitting my goal weight only meant that the real race was on. I've been in maintenance for 10 months and it's a whole new ball game...you don't have the pleasure of seeing the scale creep down...it just stays the same. Goals have become more fitness oriented and in many ways, maintenance is more tedious than losing weight was. I had it in my head that maintenance would be this glorious thing...but really, it's just a few hundred more calories than I was eating before...basically a couple handful of nuts or an extra junky treat here and there. I still have to rock my nutrition day in and day out and I still have to get my fitness on all the while looking at basically the same number on the scale (2-3 Lb range either way fluctuations).

    I say this not to be a downer, but in hopes that more and more people will see the bigger picture...think of losing the weight as training for a much more difficult and longer race...hitting goal means you've arrived at the starting line of that race called maintenance. It is at that point that you truly realize that nutrition and fitness have to become an intrinsic part of your life, otherwise those Lbs come back pretty dang quick.

    I celebrated 50 lbs with a cake and since I have changed my goal to a total of 100 pounds lost I will have a cake then as well and celebrate (sort of) with some close friends and a bottle of Courvoisier XO!

    I was alking about a general goal, for me its a look-wise goal, for others it's the number on the scale.
    awesome! taking off my shirt and running around sounds great, gotta do it sometimes! ha!

    yupp. losing the weight and shaping up is only one part of the journey, keeping it up is the second part that lasts lifelong. I totally see your point. however, reaching the second part is a good reason to celebrate, and so is every x time that you maintain well! <3




    I see lots of shipping going on! I shall do my own and make my wardrobe fullllllll of dresses and dolly stuff. dolly kei all the way (and sweet lolita :D )

    I have also seen some stuff that sound really good, perhaps I'll do those too :)

    anybody else with creative ideas? :D




    xoxo, winter.

    To heck with the wardrobe. Once I get to goals, it will be hard to keep clothes on me. But, I also like my freedom. So I will probably go to the pools ALL THE TIME as swimming was one of my favorite things to do before I hated taking my shirt off. lol
