100 pounds to lose - Weekend get away ideas for loss reward?

I love the beach and the mountains. You can get a lot of walking in at the beach and it is peaceful and beautiful early in the morning. Also, I love the mountains because there are places to go hiking. I am not sure which is closer to you, but I think anywhere that is scenic and where walking can be enjoyable, would be good places to get away.

Oklahoma here too! I'm previously from NYC, and there so health conscious there, it would be no big thing because you can find a healthy meal anywhere! And, the city is huge, so you can walk it all lol And staten Island NY (my home island lol) you can walk along the beaches, plus you have Long island, coney island. It's a good place to go

Someone on my profile suggested Door County Wisconsin. It is looking pretty cool for a spring or summer destination. Thinking I will hit my fist 20 pounds this fall/winter.

Yes, it is a beautiful destination! I live in southeast Wisconsin, and have been to Door County several times.

Depending on what your interests are, some possibilities could be Chicago (lots of theatre and arts, and you can walk a lot of it), San Diego (some cool historical sites and also walking), or even Cleveland.

I am on day 12 of my journey. I have about 140lbs to lose. I post my struggles on my profile. Add me.

I'm a single mom and veteran who is socially isolated much of the time. I could really use as many friends as I can get.

My wife and I like to do a long weekend in San Diego a couple times per year...I love that place and it's an easy non-stop flight. We usually get a condo on Mission Beach.

OK, I have been to nearly every US state and many other places. Let me tell you where you would like to go

Healdsburg, CA - this is near Sonoma wine country and is a darling pedestrian-friendly town. Paired with Sonoma, you not only have Italian landscaping, but the delicious wine cellars, cheese plates, and outdoor bustling town vibes. There is even a castle nearby.

Poulsbo, WA: This is a Scandinavian themed town, much like a village, across the Bay from Seattle. After a ferry ride, it is only about a half hour drive until you see the quaint pretzel shop, antique stores, and nautical visitor center. It is a port town with a living cultural history.

Occoquan, VA: A very small town within an hour of Washington D.C., enjoy walking the main street, lined with colorful Victorian-themed townhouses, pubs, and waterfront dining. Try Mom's Pies on your way out of town.

Oh gosh, I can't write like that for every single place, haha, I will just list the rest! :P

For Towns/Cities: Key West, Florida ; Montreal, Canada; Quebec City, Canada; Portland, Oregon; Frederick, Maryland; Gettysburg, Pennsylvania; Daytona, Florida; Annapolis, Maryland; Sedona, AZ; Colorado Springs, CO; Savannah, GA; Jamestown, VA; Bodega Bay, CA; Flagstaff, AZ; Pigeon Forge, PA; Shreveport, LA; Gulf Shores, AL; Kennebunkport, ME;

For Nature: Yellowstone National Park, CA; Glacier National Park, MT; Bryce Canyon National Park, UT; Acadia National Park, ME; Dolly Sods Wilderness and Seneca Rocks, WV; Olympic National Park, WA; Shenendoah National Park; Sequoia National Park, CA; Everglades National Park (and orange groves), FL; Big Bend National Park, TX; Assateague Island National Seashore, MD;

For Uniqueness: Mitchell Corn Palace, SD; Crater of Diamonds State Park, AR; Antelope Canyon, AZ; Coney Island, NY; Elvis' Graceland, TN; Little Palm Island, FL; Knott's Berry Farm, CA; Martha's Vineyard, MA; Havasupai Falls, AZ; Dollywood, TN; Buffalo Bill's Center of The West in Cody, WY; U.S. Space & Rocket Center, Huntsville, AL; Las Vegas, NV; downtown New Orleans, LA; Flintstone's Bedrock City (and Grand Canyon), Williams, AZ; Glen Rose Dinosaur Park, TX; Thousand Islands, NY (home of thousand island dressing and castles);

You can also get the following trips for less than $500: a 3 day cruise to the Bahamas (all you can eat buffets, excellent entertainment, beautiful beaches), a flight and 3 night stay in Cancun, Mexico (swimming with turtles in Akumal, Chichen Itza, Tulum ruins), a flight and 3 night stay in Puerto Rico (Rio Camuy caves, Arecibo observatory, Castillo San Cristobal), a roundtrip flight to Paris, France, Lima, Peru, or Bogota, Columbia.

I also recommend Carnival for cruises- I love them, they are truly fun. I generally only buy cruises if I can get a cruise out of Florida for a grand total (ie including taxes, port, AND gratuities) of no more than $600 for 4 nights/5 days. Florida I can fly RT for less than $200, so, add to that the taxicab, an excursion or 2, and snacks on the islands-> I generally try to spend a grand total of no more than $1,000 for the entire trip.
