While out and about today we went into a ****'s Sporting Goods to look at kayaks... turns out they were having a nice sale and we spoke with an associate who has been kayaking for 15+ yrs with great advice ( along with the great advice I've gotten here). I sat in a Coleman kayak and really liked it. DH and I discussed it as I wasn't planning on getting one today..although oh so tempting to find the extra funds to get this deal. In the end though DH said he would get one for me on the next sale or near Labor Day when they have the season end sale as per the associate. I told DH that was perfect as I would make sure I am at my halfway point by then and it will be a gift to celebrate reaching that milestone....

so now to get 15lbs off by August 31, lol

    What a great gift idea!!! My husband introduced me to kayaking while we were dating, and I've been addicted ever since. It is WONDERFUL exercise, too!! Congrats on your loss so far -- and have fun when you get out on the water!!

    I have always wanted a kayak. Unfortunately, I have nowhere to use it, so it would probably turn into a toboggan of sorts on winter evenings when things get out of control.

    I'm very happy for you, though!

    Kayaking is SO amazing- my husband and I just got into it this year and have adored every single second out on the water. Great exercise, too! Enjoy!

    That is super exciting and terrific motivation too!!

    I have set a goal to be on maintenance by this time next yr AND I want to take kayaking lessons and go on an adventure once I learn and am comfortable.
    My 13yo daughter took to kayaking like a fish takes to water. I am constantly amazed and I want to be fearless like that too.

    You are going to have so much fun with your new kayak. SO happy for you!
