At main goal...

[CherTLC4u]

When you hit your goal, is there one thing that you are going to do? A special trip? a new wardrobe (we'll all need that)? have a party?

I dont have one yet, so maybe everyone can give me some ideas.

Oh god, I hadn't even allowed myself to dream about it so thanks for bringing this up. Buy clothes, but I still have some really nice small clothes in boxes. A trip, yep, a party, yep. Maybe a professional makeover (make-up, hair, etc). I'm sure I'll think of more.

I've been thinking a lot about this lately, and I've finally settled on taking a "Trek Trip." www.trektravel.com

I used to bike a lot, and I wanted to do something that will celebrate my health rather than my looks, if that makes sense. I've been socking some money away for one of the European trips (Italy, most likely) and this really gives me something to look foward to.

Naturally, I intend to have new clothes as well, but since my size 18s are falling off of me already, I'm going to have to start acquiring them before I reach my ultimate goal. :yes

DH and I went on a cruise last year to celebrate 3 years of maintenance. Talk about EASY ... lots of great carb-friendly foods to choose from and an olympic jogging track to boot! I was in heaven!!

Next year's award? The Disneyworld Half Marathon!!

We have bumped up our trip to Europe to Sept. since we( dh) have both reached goal sooner than we expected.

I will post in Aug on our 1 year anniversary on Atkins final weight loss and trip (need help on food in Europe )post.

Everyone hang in there , it is so worth it!!!!!!!

105 pounds gone for me and 40 for DH.

TERRIFIC JOB, ANN and DH!!! Enjoy your trip .. sounds awesome!

When I get to goal, Betty is going to send me some of her hand-me-downs because she's got such cool clothes!!!

Actually, I've not really had goal gifts as my motivation through all of this. Once in a while I'd get myself a little pair of earrings or something but just being able to walk into a regular sized store, and buy something off the rack has been it's own reward.

My friend is going to take me to Disneyland next year if I keep up with my thrice-weekly exercising, so I'm pretty geared up about that.


...and...lack of $$ is a big part of it too...lol...ah well...it's all good!

[texwife&mom]

BOOBS!!!! Well maybe. My husband thinks that would be a great reward. Imagine that!!!

I second that Moochiecat :joy
I have never been a 'clothes-buying' person - well at size 30 you don't have much choice :sadblinky but now I can't keep out of the charity shops and have bought many tops and skirts for a few pounds!
Well no point paying lots for clothes now that will be too big in a few months, is there :yes But if I know I will be wearing them for longer (at goal for life) I won't mind splashing out!!
I may well celebrate goal by going into an expensive clothes shop with a credit card :joy
