    Between $10,000 and my ideal weight, I would take my ideal weight. If you added another zero or two, I'd probably go with the money. don't get me wrong, I would love $10,000 and it would be great, but it wouldn't alter my life as significantly as being at my ideal weight would.

    Life is too short! I'd take the money/trip since I've already adapted to my new lifestyle and I know I'll reach my goal weight.:smile:

    oh, I would take being at goal weight. money comes and goes, but to be at the end of this long journey would be well worth the loss of $10k

    Yup! I think so too!

    Gosh.

    I would take the money.
    Even though I struggle, I have complete confidence I will eventually be at my goal weight through my hard work. The money can help pay for new clothes. ;)

    I'd take the money. I can make my own body with a little hard work, determination, dedication, discipline, passion, perserverance and motivation.

    Absolutely the money. It can't buy happiness, but if being broke is your biggest stress, it sure would help!

    I'd settle for goal weight, then I wouldn't need 10k for the itsy-bitsy bikinis to take on the trip :wink:

    I'd definitely take the money. No matter how hard I work at my job, I'm not going to get that. But the harder I work at my body, the closer I'm going to get to my goal. I want that achievement to be mine, not someone else's gift.

    I think I would take the money. I would keep on working on my goal weight but free $10grand... no way to pass that up! Oh wow.. a cruise with some serious spa pampering and gym time! OH yeah!

    Goal weight and goal body. More so the goal body. I am assuming once I get goal body my weight will be higher than I want but goal body is more important. Money comes and goes and does not buy true happiness, however feeling good in your skin, that is happiness.

    Money....unless the caveat was that if I took the money then i would never lose weight ever, then I would have to consider my health and take the weight loss......decisions decisions....lol

    I'd take the money and give half to my boyfriend so he could afford a ring. Then I'd use the $5K I still have on a trainer and I'd save the vaca for my honeymoon.

    Easily money. My goal weight is just going to take time and work - an extra 10k to have less worries for me and my family would be awesome!

    I'd take the money and go with the trip. I'm at my goal weight but would much rather go through the process of getting to my body goal so I learn from the experience.

    I pick vacation... it's been many years since a true family trip. I would go have a great time... exercise by walking to places...have fun...come home and feel great. I miss going on trips.

    Oh if I could take the money....

    I would split the money ... some for trip (s) and some for health related activities... no insurance at this time with a hand that doesn't work properly...one of the reason I don't exercise because it puffs up and hurts.
