I will be getting a tattoo and a well deserved belly piercing ... Definitely going to arrange for a nice trip or outing somewhere beautiful full of fun, music, and my best friends :dance::D

I am going to the beach for a long weekend and strut around in clothes way "too young" for me :D And get only a temporary tattoo as i am a wimp :lol:

Any thoughts I have about reaching goal are all about continued exercise to bring my body to it's best possible condition. I want to be as fit as I can be before I turn 50 and then I want to start ballroom dance lessons.

A few of y'all have reminded me; I had thought of getting my belly button pierced, but I have a scar there from laparoscopic gall-bladder removal surgery, so I dunno. I don't know if it will ever fade enough for me to feel comfortable drawing attention to that area. :(

I am getting an amazingly cute, short hair cut. I've been wearing my hair shoulder length like a grade schooler for three years now because I don't want it long, but if I chop it off, my face will look even fatter! :(

Also, this is my 'actual' reward, I've gotten spousal authorization to max out my AND his Express credit cards on a new wardrobe. That's like...$1200 for new clothes. I think he only agreed because I've been a chronic dieter and he doesn't think I can do it. I'm determined though...

How big is your scar? I had my gallbladder removed as well, after my second daughter was born, and my scar is almost unnoticeable. It might just blend into all the preggo stretch marks though. :dizzy:

I say go for it. And if anyone mentions the scar, say you got it when you were jumped in a dark alley and had to fight for your life. :o

Hubby promised me a shopping spree when I finally hit my goal!! (Although he hasn't yet put a price limit on it...)

Although for myself, I'm going to Vegas, with a suitcase of cutesie outfits! (And hubby can come along if he's nice ;)!)

This is such a great thread! I'm still mulling things over because there are always the "obvious" things like the swimsuit (omg, you mean I don't have to buy a BLACK one with a stupid skirt on it?) and CLOTHES....but I feel like having to just THINK about this is making me really consider some of the larger issues around what the weight loss means to me. Like...if there are some activities or things that I would want to do then, why am I not pursuing them now?
