You can check my album pics! ((i can never get pics to work on a forum lol))
67lbs down in 4-1/2 months!! I went from a size 20 to a size 9 (now baggy, YAY!) My heaviest weight was 220, I lost weight slowly over the years but pushed myself harder and got serious about it after I gave birth to my daughter.. I was 208lbs, today I am 141.4! My Ultimate goal is to be at 135!

What should I do to celebrate?? maybe something summer related? ((yes, i'm being optimistic:wink: ))

Things that are out:
Base Jumping
Climbing Mount Everest, Mount Kilimanjaro..you get the idea
Sky diving
or any other radical ideas tongue let's be realistic please, I've got 3 little ones! :laugh:

beauty treatments are also out, I spoiled myself enough recently by getting my hair done :wink:
I am also starting to get sick of shopping! so buying pretty stuff it also out, nothing fits me for long so I am almost afraid to buy anything TOO nice :tongue:

I really would love to do something to make the day memorable! I missed out on doing something fun when I hit my first goal of 160, this goal seems too big to not celebrate!
Thanks in advance!! :happy:

    I'm not sure how you should celebrate your goal day but you look incredible! Congratulations on reaching 141.

    I dont know if its affordable but how about a cruise of some sort? That is my plan once I hit my goal. You have to watch your eating a little bit but its a blast and you can stay really active too. I used to celebrate my successes with weight loss through eating which was obviously a losing proposition in the end.

    The best way I can think of to celebrate your success is to keep moving forward, keep your health at the forefront of your mind, & get out there and live your life with everything you've got.

    How you do it, is up to you. But do it, you must. :drinker:

    ugh I would LOVE to go on a cruise...maybe not this year since we are looking into buying a house, but that should be something we should try to do next year! Thanks for the suggestion!

    First of all you are absolutely gorgeous! And have accomplished a great feat! That should be a reward in itself :flowerforyou:

    BUUUUT.....

    You seem to like tattoos. How about a new one that celebrates/commemorates/praises your struggle/accomplishment :wink:

    Once again congrats!!!! :drinker:

    Just a side note. Be careful and don't post the same topic on different boards. It's against ToS with MFP. Again congrats.

    First of all, CONGRATULATIONS!

    I think you should block off a day to do whatever your favorite activity is and grab your favorite people to bring along. They don't have to know what it's about, if you don't necessarily feel they need to. But you should definitely have the memory of doing your favorite thing when you are at your healthiest and happiest!

    Other than that, OP, I'm not sure what to suggest. I, personally, would have myself a big juicy steak and a piece of cake (without going over my macros of course) to celebrate.

    I celebrated my one year running anniversary with a 10K.

    And to quote a classic... Diamonds are a girl's best friend.

    Copious amounts of your favorite meal, booze, and sex.

    Wake up the next day feeling like hell, and find a bigger goal.

    Yep, this. Even better on an island somewhere.

    I'm planning a tattoo....and shopping, but mostly a tattoo. The shopping will be necessary and the tattoo just for fun. I always wanted a big tattoo that started low on my back, worked its way to my shoulder and then turned into a sleeve or something along those lines. Never did it cuz I figured it wouldn't go well with all my fat. I'm shooting for Nov/Dec for nearing goal, so will start planning the tattoo then and then get the needles going once I hit it. Lots can change by then, but that's my plan for now.

    Edited to add boob job. I'm working on my hubby to fund a boob job....gravity has not been kind and I want them back where they were when I was 20. =)

    Congratulations. You look beautiful and you've done something wonderful for yourself (and your kids and husband).

    I'm not sure what you enjoy, what you'd consider a reward, so it's hard to say. Could you leave the kids with Grandma or a sitter overnight and have a romantic/sexy getaway with your husband? Maybe an afternoon and evening if you can't swing an overnight escape. You obviously devote a lot of time and energy to the children and I bet your husband does as well--you deserve some grown-up play time!

    Oh no! I didn't know how to delete the other one, realized that it was probably in the wrong section. :ohwell:

    I like the tattoo idea, but if that's not your thing how about spending the day at a waterpark? You get to show off your new amazing body in a swimsuit and have fun cause waterparks are awesome.

    Thank you!!
    I am eating 1200 calories, I am also following the 21 day fix eating plan! completely love it! I cut all junk out of my diet, I eat only simple healthy foods that i can make myself. No mayo, no milk (only almond 3oz-1-2X per week) so added salt, I substitute sugar with Stevia in the raw. I am eating lower carbs and higher protein. I also started doing p90x3 this week! :smile:

    Yep I'm for the tattoo...that is what I am going to get when i hit my goal, I have 2 already (thinking of getting them covered though but not too sure) the one I plan to get is a nice sized back piece with my 3 kids baby footprints incorporated into a fall scene since they were all born in the fall. I do plan on getting myself a charm for my pandora bracelet when I hit my goal right before my main goal.

    Congrats on your weight loss you look great!

    A new tattoo? I notice you have some already.

    I celebrated by going shopping for new clothes. I was tired of looking frump-tastic.
