I leave for my annual trip Jamaica in 67 days 19 hrs 44 mins (not that I am counting, lol).

Anyone else using a vacation as a motivational goal to lose the weight?

My profile pic is from a couple of years ago. I am about 16 pounds from being back to that. Doubt I can lose 16 in 67 days, but I hope to get back to that.

    When my daughter graduates from college she wants me to go to Italy with her and my son-in-law. I have that in the back of my mind sometimes when I work out.

    My daughter and I are going to the Dominican Republic for her Senior trip in June! That got me motivated to get up off my butt and get healthy!! That was the middle of October and I am down 30 lbs. so far....I am hoping to lose at least another 30 before we leave. My husband and our daughters are my biggest supporters and I am soooo glad to have joined MFP for additional support! You guys rock!!!

    We have our honeymoon coming up in mid-March. Our wedding is in 5 weeks, and I am hoping to be down 15 more lbs by then, and another 10 by the next month... Fingers crossed I get into (or close to) ONEderland by the time my HM gets here!

    I'm going for about 1.5 pound per week until I lose 50 lbs.

    Should put me down about 30 for the Good Vibrations motorcycle run in Salem in June.

    Should lose another 20 by September for the Street Vibrations run in Reno.

    Going to give myself the incentive that if I can do better and lose it all by August, I'm going to get some new leather pants for the September run. If not, Santa can bring them for Christmas.

    I turn 30 in June and that is my number one motivation, to get reach my initial goal by then which puts me at losing another 25-30lbs in about 23 weeks, hoping I can make it! Buuut now, my honey has told me that he will be taking me on vaca the week of my bday, and has stated that I get to pick the destination!! (Yes, he's awesome!!) So now that has given me even more motivation to kick *kitten* and reach my goal, a Bday/Vaca combo!!! :)

    I am getting married in June and leaving for the honeymoon in Hawaii 2 days later. Never flown or been to an ocean beach before! So I have a double motivator. Plus, where I work they are sponsoring a weight loss challenge with a $500 cash drawing for people who participate. I'd be happy to lose 10 pounds, but 15 might make me brave enough to wear a bikini!

    Lots of good vacation plans :)

    My motivation is also I want to fit into some of my smaller shorts, tank tops that are in tub in the basement :)

    I got myhubs on MFP last night, woohoo! Although he is not overweight too muc (all in his gut) he wants to be healthier. He is 6 ft tall and 179 pounds. All of his weight is in his gut so he is trying to get that down before we hit the beach :)

    152 days until we leave for Hawaii to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary.
    Now, by that time I may not look like a beached whale when I put on a one-piece bathing suit but you will never catch me in a bikini anyway due to a scar that runs the length of my stomach.

    I'm going to Disney World the last week of March. It will be the kids first time at Disney. I'm hoping to lose 23 pounds by then to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight. But it is only 12 weeks away, so I would be happy to lose about 15 more pounds. I know we will be taking lots of pictures.
