What is your next inspiration clothing item? Or maybe an inspiration event?
 

Just a bit of fun! What is the next item of clothing that you are looking forward to fitting into/wearing? Or do you have an event that is motivating you to stay OP?

I would have never purchased skinny jeans, which is hard because they are everywhere. I think they look dreadful on people with heavy thighs and hips....which was me. IP has really trimmed this area down and I have 3 pairs I wear with boots!

I am looking forward to looking good in a swimsuit this summer.

Thanks. It was fun going to the banquet last night because most people have not seen me since October, and I was usually covered in paint because I was the scene painter for the last community theater show of last year. I got a lot of compliments.

Great topic!
 

I haven't worn shorts, in public, for 15 years! Can't wait for summer!:flow2::dancer:

A wedding dress :) I also miss wearing my knee high boots with skinny jeans.

I'm going to Disney World
 

Hubs & I have been planning a fabulous trip to DW since our girls were babies. I have always been excited, but now, thanks to IP, I will be able to keep up and go on all the rides. I will be able to truly enjoy the whole experience with my family :running:

We have a Change of Command ceremony and an military ball in June. I REALLY want to wear a new pretty dresses to both of those occasions.

30th birthday in June... Hoping to buy a cute dress without slipping in a puddle of tears. :lol:

I have a beautiful designer sheath dress in a gorgeous shade of deep purple in a size 14 that I want to wear.

In July, we are going to Atlanta for a family wedding and have not seen any of my sibs since I was at my highest. So I am looking forward to getting a lovely summer collection of pink or scarlet and/or white feminine, close to knee length skirts to look just right.

By then, I hope to be 100 pounds less than the last time they saw me.

October 2014 need to have a stunning mother-of-the-groom dress for the weeding of my darling oldest son in a military wedding. Mother of the bride is two inches taller than me and very trim so I want to make the pictures of both of us look good.

Lots of great inspiration!

Wow, such exciting events coming up for many of us! Enjoy!

What an AWESOME question..I am targeting two goals 1) Cousin's Wedding in May and 2) My 50th in August.

We are vacationing in March so I will be 100% off and scared of what the implications may be...But I am determined.

For my bday in march I'm hoping to be below a size 10, A 10 is a bit tight but not uncomfortable now, so I'm hoping with the next 13 lbs gone I'll be a size 8. I'm also reconsidering reset my goal to be 120.

I would really like to be done with all four stages by my birthday at the end of June, sooner if possible. I don't have a vacation planned yet (thinking May) and would like to be done by then.

I have the cutest bride maid's dress for a wedding this summer, and I really hope to be able to squeeze into it. (I don't have enough posts to post a picture, but it really is adorable).

This, too. I hate my fat calves!

my wedding dress August 3, 2014 at 125 lbs

I would even settle for 130

Love :love: these! Such positive thoughts on a cold,dreary day. Keep them coming :D

I would like to buy a cute dress for my nieces wedding the end of June :)

I have quite a few things keeping me on track:
1) A work trip to Mexico on Feb 10 -(want to be close to what I weighed last year so they don't notice how much weight i gained)
2) A friend's wedding in Mexico Feb 20-25 (want to be looking and feeling pretty darn good, hopefully in the 150's)
3) My 30th birthday on April 10- GOAL by then of 140 or less

Oh and fitting into my clothes again!

1.) I have to sit with the board of trustees from my University to deliver the student body report in late February
2. ) My graduation in May is a big one for me.

You are going to look awesome at your graduation, Deana!

I am going to my nephew's wedding in March. It's where I went to high school and I havent been back in over 25 years. I'm also going to see my old hs friends and I haven't seen my family since I started, so I am hoping to rock some new cute outfits at all events.

A friends wedding on March 15th

Las Vegas in March! Won't be at goal yet but will be close!

I will be the mother of the groom at the end of April!
also planning a cruise to Alaska sometime this summer!!!

Too funny Carol - my birthday is also the end of June and I am aiming to be in maintenance by then or sooner. (Thinking of lowering my goal, I don't expect it to take me that long to lose 8 pounds!)

Wow looks like everyone has something exciting on their minds! I have my ten year highschool reunion in July so that is my ultimate goal weight time. But hopefully before summer so I can not be embarrassed in a bikini to get a tan. Also I am in the process of buying a timeshare on a lake and we will have a week there in August. I want to go buy a bunch of new cute summer clothes. And I won't have to feel all uncomfortable and hot the whole week! So exciting to read everyone's posts.

Hey SarahJ! We have similar stats, would love to chat with you a bit more. How far into the program are you?

By Fall 2014, I plan to buy an entire new wardrobe for chasing hounds. I finally was able to get back into my custom riding boots, and I refuse to buy "big girl" riding clothing! I want my first hunt to be both fun and picturesque! I also want to be fit enough to not get winded!

This major goal requires me to be at goal by Spring of this year, so that I can begin riding again, and get "legged up" which essentially means, getting back into riding shape, in both my muscle strength as well as aerobic stamina.

I'm seeing my husband (Justin Timberlake) for the 3rd time in July. I first saw him in Dec and I weighed 293 (or something like that) so I'm hoping to be closer to onederland so I can wear something even cuter this time!

This is mine too. My b-day is in June and I'm going to finally wear shorts.

Size 12
 

I just lost inches off my waist so bought a new skirt I wanted. It is a size 12
very happy about it.
I have lost 7 pds- but mostly have lost inches around my waist........
I take

Garcina Cambogia 5 days a week. DR Oz is where I got the suppliment.

I have also a new bathing suit i WANT TO GET INTO.:smug:

I am just starting week 3...my weigh in days are a little off, but last Wednesday when I was 10 days in I had lost 8 pounds!

Anyhow, my first REAL inspiration event is in 5 weeks (end of February) when my husband and I and our three kids are going to Niagara Falls (Canada) and staying at a resort with a waterpark. Bathing suit of course! And so my plan is to not get all primped and "hot" and just wear relatively baggy/modest clothes until then and then...TADAAAAAA!!!! I'll wear my sexy clothes for my husband and of course will be in a bathing suit.

I wonder what is realistic or normal to have lost by then...I'll be a few days into my eighth week. EXCITED!!!

On Feb 1 I have my Grandaughter being presented in a Mardi Gras Ball. This event is part of my goal. I started this journey with several goals in mind. 2 GRANDS graduating from high school, 1 getting married and 1 being presented. I met each occasion with satisfaction. Saturday I will be so close to my goal of -50 lbs that I will be able to smell it! Yes I am proud of them and also proud of myself! Photo later...

Family wedding in mid-June. I can't wait to shop for a dress that I love instead of looking for something that's just "good enough" and doesn't look horrible.

I'm also looking forward to Easter this year. I won't have seen most of my family since Christmas, and I think I will have lost enough for it to be a noticeable improvement. At least I hope so!

Hi! I am just starting week 4 tomorrow. I have my fourth weigh in tonight but am doing the lose 25lbs by first day of spring challenge so I weigh in those days Sundays. I started 12/31 New Year's Eve. How far are you in?? How's it going for you this far?

I was wanting to get into a friends old pair of Miss Me JEANS and they were a 34 waist and I got them on yesterday. I have to say I love the pockets and they are cute, but I don't like the muffin top affect...
I am going to aim for a different pair of jeans now that will fit me better and not give me such a bad muffin top...

Initially my goal was to lose 50 lbs before I turn 50. I will be 50 in June and my goal is to continue to maintain my losses and celebrate my 50th birthday as a hot granny! lol. ;)
