FeeltheRain, I know how you feel about cruises. I went on my first one in Jan and I felt like I should've been out there in a bathing suit but I was stuck in jeans because of my shape.

My rewards: I haven't really thought about these because I'm so consumed by getting through each day without verring crazily off track but if I were to come up with some, here's what they would be.

1. When I reach 155: Wear more skirts. Hopefully this will happen by summer. Otherwise, not a good situation for my poor legs.

2. When I reach 145: Go for a massage - I liked Glory's idea. That's a great reward.

3. If at 145, I feel that I need to drop some more, then I'll go on a huge shopping spree for a body update. I plan to buy clothes in intervals along the way.

I love everyone's ideas! Cajungal I love what you said about the butterfly and how it moves. I feel that is so true about my weightloss journey and that comment cemented in my mind that this tattoo will be a constant reminder of why this journey to total health was so important for me. (But I wouldn't turn down a diamond though.)

I'm another one that would love a tattoo if/when I ever get the bulk of my weight off. Obviously, based on my stats, I will need several new wardrobes as I go down. I'm really looking forward to that, especially JEANS!

I`m a spoiled daddy`s little girl so probably i will get his credit card and i will go to the mall to buy some nice clothes. Sorry, i`m jobless and i`m way too spoiled

- plan a big holiday for me and my bf for the summer of 2008 (because i hope to have lost all my weight and start maintaining by march 2008)
-get another tattoo on my hips a place i could never show now without also dispaying some unsightly flab lol i want stars, to me this would symbolise the sky as being the limit for me, because at times i really do think i'll never get to my goal weight.

My reward to myself will be a bicycle! Why because I want one and I want to be able to ride it!!!!
And of course possibly a new clothes that fit and look good would also be nice but, definelty a bicycle!!!
