    My graduation - next year! (I've no intention of quickly trying to drop near 100lbs. Best to be slow, steady and healthy)
    Also the fact that I was struggling to fit into my uniform for placement was an eye opener as to how much weight had snuck on...

    YES! Thank you for asking. I am planning a vacation out west with friends. The vacation will include LOTS of hiking and physical activity. I have to be in better shape or I slow down the group and impact their fun. This inspires me incredibly, in terms of both nutrition and working out.

    A convention I have coming June 30th to July 2nd. Every year for the last 2 years I've been a size smaller, which means 3 new glam dresses. The profile picture is me at one of my midyear conventions this winter. Trying to keep up the trend this year :)

    Nearest goal is my vacation in May. I won't be at goal, but hopefully I'll hit 20 lbs lost by then.

    We have a formal wedding in Miami coming up in December. I want to be able to wear a slinky little dress, a cute swimsuit on the beach, and a sexy club dress when we go out at night without feeling like a fat girl trying to hard.

    Mine is my Disney World trip in December 2017. I want pictures in front of the castle without feeling ashamed of how my body looks.

    haha similar! My daughter and I signed up for the Epcot food & wine 10K for November 2017 :) I have NEVER done any running before, not at all anything since public school... I'd like to reach my goal before November. I turn 48 just after the 10k run and would love to reach my goal or at least close to it - which is like 60 pounds. (I'll be happy to lose 45-50 by then).

    Training kicks into high gear next week.

    We went to Disneyland a few years back....and I was the bag holder :( for everyone. I would love to re take this trip and actually enjoy it. Instead of being extra tired and unable to ride the rides.
