sorry this is my first post and I hope I am posting it in the right spot...I am thinking about getting a tattoo once I lose the weight I am wanting to lose....Has anyone gotten a tattoo inspired by your weight loss...if so what did you get and where on your body did you get it...?

    How about an image of the pre-weight loss you!

    A permanent reminder and better than sticking it on the fridge door :smile:

    DO. NOT. GET. A. TATTOO. OF. YOUR. FAT. SELF.

    I only have two period, and both are for a very special person in my life. When I lose the thirty pounds I need to lose, I'll probably get, "Free" on the nape of my neck, but that's all I got. -shrugs-

    You know how people get little ribbons just round a wrist or ankle? How about a measuring tape? haha that sounds silly but I bet it would look good when drawn by a professional :P
    Or how about a little dumbell/bike/some other sport or fitness that you used on your journey (if you did)?

    Also, I agree, DO NOT GET A PICTURE OF YOUR FAT SELF. Haha.

    something symbolic maybe? e.g. a butterfly could represent change/growth and freedom (from the trappings excess weight brings)

    I agree with getting words or something that means something special to you. After me losing my weight and keeping it off, I decided to get 2 tats myself. I have one down my ride side that spells LOYALTY in cursive and the other one is down my left side that reads TRUST. I got those 2 because those are 2 very important characteristics in my personality and that I look for in other people's personalities.

    I'm working my way up to a marathon and after I do it I am getting 42.1(kms) as a tattoo. I also want a butterfly to symbolise freedom.

    When I finish my first half marathon I'm going to get "Do or do not, there is no try. 13.1" tattooed on me somewhere... not sure where yet, but I have a while to figure it out. lol

    My husband suggests this:

    get a tatoo of yourself now on a place that will shrink as you lose weight so that later it will be small and represent the skinny you
