I graduate from college May 7, and I'm wanting to go on a cruise then.. plus summer will be right around the corner (triple motivation)! I want to finally feel good in a swimsuit. I already have a really cute tankini... it was tight last summer. My goal is to rock it on the cruise. :wink: Getting into the 180s by the end of this month will be true inspiration to meet my goals by summer. I know I can do it!
