I have a tattoo bracelet, goes with everything, doesn't snag on clothes.

The other day I found this tattoo parlor in Pune, and I'm thinking hmmm.
Okay, for every 5 lbs lost I get a square inch of tattoo when I reach my goal.

I may have to modify that a bit, but hey! If it keeps me motivated, yeah!

Thanks Kara! I'm actually getting a friend to work it into a background image for my laptop. My *big* bribe is that I'm spending my full junior year abroad and will spend next summer either doing summer at sea (because it's going to Europe... and I'm terrified of flying so there's a serious chance I'd never fly myself to Turkey, Norway, or Croatia just for the **** of it... but if I'm on a boat...) or a summer in Oaxaca, Mexico. So while I'm doing these trips regardless of if I lose weight or not, I would LIKE to at least be in a size large by that time. I have a year, it's doable. I also kind of want to go on Birthright to Israel on a combo trip to Ukraine (where my family is from) and Israel... and they ride camels! I don't want to hurt the poor camel's back! :P I think I'll be more confident meeting new people which I'll definitely need!

Indigal- that's a cool idea! I had a friend who got a little chick foot tattoo on her feet and ankles for every 10 pounds she lost. Last time I saw her, she had dropped at least 75 pounds and probably still had as much to go, but looked so great and confident with all her little chicken feet! What design do you want for your tattoo?

Well, I have several tattoo ideas, though My dream piece is on my upper arm, left side, It's a sphere wrapping around 3 sides, 1/2 cool colors representing the moon, the other warm colors representing the sun. In the sphere, (in the colors) The Face of God...The Creator of all as I see Him. I have it so clearly in my mind how it will look. I just need to find the right artist, to draw it.
I don't want it on my now flabby arms ,so all the more incentive, when I reach my goal, my arms will be toned from weight training and ready for my dream piece! Maybe for each 10 lbs I loose, I get a color for the tattoo. I see it so colorful!
