1. Oldest sons graduation from flight school.
2. Younger sons HS graduation.
3. My 40th BDay!!!' In July

I am on week 1 of 6 to 8 weeks of physical therapy for my feet and ankles. I want to use this time to get back on track with my weight loss as well as improve my pain levels and overall health.

My brothers wedding, although he has not told us a definate date just ( this year, maybe spring :?: )

Also my wedding anniversay at the end of may :)

I have a couple of things I am looking forward to.

~I want to lose enough weight to 'look better' (say 15 to 20 lbs) before I have to shed my winter coats and sweaters (literally) lol

~I want to lose down to about 135 before Summer, bc I have a closet full of the prettiest little summer dresses that fit me so nice at the weight year before last.

~Very short term I have a wedding to go to on March 16th, and that gives me about 6 weeks to lose at least 10 pounds and I have a couple nice dresses that fit me at that weight.

There's a wedding I want to attend in July. I want to fit into something spiffy for the occasion. I hope I can be around 200 by then.

Welcome to everyone who is counting down :)
Best of luck to all of us.
We are one day closer to our events, how did you do today?

Week 1 of my physical therapy went really well! My feet hurt quite a bit less than they did at the beginning of the week. As for my weight, even though my official weigh in isn't until Sunday, I have thus far lost 5 of the 8 pounds I gained last week.

Going to Florida in 19 weeks!

Awesome thread!! I have to set lots of mini goals during my journey. It's the only way I can keep on track. I'm trying not to concentrate too much on the number on the scale.

Goal #1 250 thousand steps by valentines day (so close)
Goal #2 another 270 thousand steps by St. Patty's Day
Goal #3 TBD

My ultimate goal is to be 160 by my wedding day (6-22-13) and 150 by my honeymoon (9-7-13)

Good luck everyone! Can't wait to hear about your successes and special events!!

Today went awesome! Down 1.2, and I fit nicely into a 24w dress I bought at the beginning of January. Can't wait to little black dress shop!

I don't know about the rest of you, but the weekends can be tough for me. I'm not in my normal routine and a lot more temptations seem to crop up. So here's to an on plan weekend, keep your eyes on your prize!

I love this thread! I've definitely got a few things that I am counting down for!!

February 22- I leave for Mexico and Florida! I teach far up North in the NWT and only get out of my community twice a year. I had to have a beach vacation AND make that bachelorette party! I hope to be 20 lbs down by then! Currently 13 down!

July 1- I only see my friends and family twice a year as well, and this is the day! They will have seen me at my highest at 210 at Christmas, and then this mega-awesome reunion where I WILL be 155 or less- almost the lowest I've been since an adult! I can't wait to see pleasantly surprised faces this time!

Halloween- I will finally reach goal around here. Cheers to a sexy costume!

Thanks for the motivation!!!!!!

Ohhh!! Sexy costume!! I'm adding that one!! :) Thanks NorthernChick!!

haha no problem! BuyCostumes.com is fantastic, and they ship anywhere in at least Canada! I am not sure about the States but check it out!

Agreed. I also really only see my husband on Sundays and Mondays. So it's easy to slip into "celebration" mode and make some less then awesome eating decisions.

I'm going to make a nice chicken piccata tonight though.
