edited September 30 in Success Stories
My girlfriend challenged me on New Years Eve to loose 50 lbs by Sept 1 and she would buy us a Dodge Challenger. So started my kick in the but to loose weight and I dug right in. By April I was at 50 lbs lost. We decided it was better for her to get a daily driver and I would get my own Challenger. Recently a color of the car was released that I had to have (called Green with Evny) so I bit the bullet and bought it last Friday. Best part of it was I hit 80lbs lost the same day, which also puts me in two hundred land (299), first time I can remember being there in over 10 years.

I am not stopping now I wanted to hit 100 lost by the original Sept 1 deadline but its looking more like I will hit it by the end of Sept, not bad. Overall my goal is to see one hundred land again.

    End of Sept. is still Sept..... As long as you still continue your weight loss, that all it matters especially when you have lots of peple motivating you and want you to succeed.

    Well, you should go ahead and drop another 100 pounds just so everybody will know you're serious. Fantastic job with the first 80..

    Thanks all, call the car a reward or a mid life crisis but I figured I had earned it and the BANK figured I could afford it.
