Oh for me I decided to go BIG - I've saved up loads of holidays from work for the past few years so this summer I'm taking them all together. I'm off for 6 weeks in total and am going travelling - I'm taking the trans-siberian railway...travelling by train through China, Mongolia and Russia. Then through Eastern Europe over back home to Ireland.

Its costly but I figured that it was something to celebrate!

finn, your trip sounds wonderful.

Finn, Good For You , You Deserve It, Have You Bought Anew Wardrope For It? Have Fun.

Thanks! - No new wardrobe yet as I'm still losing...and trying to save money for the trip. It'll be backpacking really so I'll have to make do with a few t-shirts and pairs of shorts.

Finn, i am sure you will find many beautiful treasures along the way.

I haven't given much thought to my long term goal reward as I think I should leave that untill closer the time so I'm going to give myself lots of smaller rewards when I reach my mini targets.

Today I went out and had my hair cut as a reward for taking this first step and knowing that at long last I'm serious about losing the weight.

Oh and by the way ... my hair looks great!
