I thought this would be fun to talk about. I have several things I'm doing:

1) Go on a mega shopping spree. I'm saving ten dollars for every pound I lose and then, once I'm at goal, I'mma gonna go hog wild at the mall!
2) Go to Cedar Point. I live in Akron and Sandusky is quite a drive. I've actually never been to Cedar Point but I've heard it's fun. The last time I was at an amusement park, I was ten. I've been way too big to ride the rides for quite some time so it should be a blast because I'm not used to it.
3) Get a glamorous photo shoot done at Carmen Studios. Wear my prettiest dress and do my makeup real nice. That sounds nice...

So what about you guys? What are your plans?

I'm not part of the 300+ club, but I was close. Still.... my goal is to get a boob job at 100lbs lost!

Some time after that, not related... a tummy tuck too.

But my 100lbs lost will be the boob job! (Get rid of all the icky extra skin I now have from goin from a 42DDD to a 36C!)

At 199 Im getting a new tattoo.

I live in Akron, too! And Sandusky isnt as far as say, Kings Island.


And my plans include getting my wedding dress altered down and having new pics taken. Welcome!!

Oooo. That's a good idea!!!

I will be buying a whole new wardrobe because I don't own any clothes smaller than a size 18, and those had better be baggy! Some more specific items are below.

I will have:
a corset (fitted if not custom made)
an evening gown (for cruising, if nothing else)
a very stylish winter coat
incredible lingerie (my husband has been very patient, he deserves something special)
perfectly fitted clothing (not whatever I can fit in to)
stylish workout wear
one pair of amazing heels

3 pairs shoes - red, green and purple pumps!

And clothes of course!

Besides the normal clothes and shoes binge (and my mini-goal prizes), I have a few specific things:

1. Bungee-jumping. I've always wanted to do this, but have always been afraid that the cord would snap.

2. Professional pictures. For once I won't hate how I look! (hopefully)

3. Shopping spree at Victoria's secret. No explaining necessary.

4. This depends on how my body looks, but I get the feeling I'll need skin surgery once I'm at my "final" goal. After losing 200+ lbs, there will probably be a lot of loose skin, and I'll want it gone.

Clothes, definitely. Tons of them.

I'll also be doing the tattoo thing...I already have it designed, and I figure I'll need a renewal of motivation when I'm halfway to my goal, so that's when I plan to get it. It's a black and grey design of a candle with the Latin translation for my favorite phrase (Non damnatio but toto: "No day but today") underneath it.

But the big prize will be at the end of the road...to celebrate my commitment to myself, I'm going for the very symbol that almost everyone recognizes as an eternal symbol of commitment...the ring! I haven't picked the perfect one yet, but I'm picturing a vintage-style stunner with a pink diamond.

London. Definitely.

hmmmmm....donno anything I want??? wow...that's sad! Maybe it'll come to me when I get a little closer!

Thanks. I've actually been to sandusky and while it only probably took an hour or two, I was also in the bed of a pickup truck. lol And those sound like great rewards.

my goal even though I'm not at 300 pounds is to live the healthy life for the rest of my life. There is nothing wrong with just living it every day.

Sharing what I learn with anyone that wants to listen. Be an example to others. and Thank God for getting me there.

You're on, girl!! Everything's better when it's PINK!!
