Where are you planning/ hoping to go, and why did you choose that place?

I want to go to some place where I can swim in a natural body of water -- maybe a beach, or a river. Haven't picked the exact location yet, though.

    By Christmas day I must loose 72 lbs! I'm going to Disney World! I want to be healthy enough to walk around and enjoy my time and have enough energy and strength to walk walk walk walk walk. I went 10 years ago when I was half the size I am now and it was A LOT of exercise then. I've already paid for our family vaycay so not doing it is not an option! On the right track.. - 12 lbs in 3 weeks! I can do this.. still much more to go and another 60 once I get back from Disney!

    Just make sure to exercise. Vacations are one of the reasons people gain weight.

    I will definitely be careful! In the past, I used to actually LOSE weight during vacations because I ate vacation-y quantities of vacation-y foods at home anyway, and I got more active on the beach... But now that I exercise regularly and eat healthier, I'll have to make sure my vacations are healthier than they were in the past, too!

    Panama City Beach is beautiful. Emerald waters, white sand, an plenty of tourists. You'll love it. Haha. Seriously. It's a great place. I live here.

    My sisters (there are 5 of us) and I are all planning a vacation, probably a cruise, in the next year as a reward for reaching whatever personal goal we set for ourselves. A few of us are getting fit, some quitting smoking, and others have other goals. We are spread out across the country and haven't all been together in about 16 years. This is going to be a real treat!

    Wasn't necessarily planned as a "reward", but it sure is going to be one.

    Back in January, I would never have imagined that I would be going to Kauai. Sixty pounds lighter. Comfortable in a bikini. And excited about the chance to RUN those beautiful trails.

    And even more, confident enought to know I will enjoy drinking my beers on the beach after those runs.

    To those who have also reached this type of "REWARD"... congratulations!!! For those of you still workinging at it, stay strong, it is beyond worth it!

    We are! When I lose 100 lbs total - 21 down (79 to go). I would like to achieve this by June of next year (I started MFP on 5/18 so about 1 year later). He said I could pick anywhere. We are thinking of Bora Bora.

    Yes, I am planning to go see the Monarch Butterflies in Mexico early in 2012. I have not attached a wt goal/fitness level to the reward; all I am requiring is that I keep the journal daily until that time. Keeping the journal helps me more than anything else.

    PCB is a great place to visit! But there are plenty of nicer beaches in the surrounding area. I would search the Gulf Coast. Not going to find a better beach.

    At first I want, now I am. My end goal is april 9th. I want to be in my best shape by then. My goal for weight loss (if possible) is 11/9/11, then Im gonna do 5 straight months on p90x. Well my girlfriends just told me shes gonna take me to an outdoor/indoor waterpark hotel for my bday (i LOVE waterparks). And the best part (this is something Ive wanted to do since I was 8) they have a swimup bar!

    It's not a reward, but a motivation. DH and I are celebrating our 9th anniversary in Key West at the end of the month. We're spending one day at Ft. Jefferson and I wanted to be bikini ready for the snorkeling. On Labor Day I vowed to lose 10 pounds before we went. I'm down 9 pounds now with 1.5 weeks to go, so I think I'll make it. My thighs are still a bit "thick", but I've got my flat stomach back!

    Not as a reward since I'm only toning up, but I'm going to Bali for 10 days in December with my boyfriend, plus going to Queensland for a week in January with the girls. The reward is how I'll feel having the time of my life, in the best shape of my life, in the smallest bikini of my life! :P
