I'm going to have short term goals throughout my journey. But when I hit my goal weight (or very near to it), I'm going to get my lace tat piece, similar to the pic, but no flower. What's yours?

That will be beautiful!

Umm.. hadn't thought that far out yet...

I want a thigh piece

I would like a monarch butterfly after hitting my goal weight to symbolize my metamorphosis.

Reaching goal is a gift all by itself!! But a new tatt is cute

I just had mine ! Bye bye skin

I do think its important to have things to focus on, even when you are at goal weight. I have found maintaining much more difficult than the honeymoon phase. So my goal for maintaining for the next 6 months is to have 'hidden' braces to straighten up my top teeth. They arent bad but I have one tooth that needs to sit back a little more. We are all deserving of treats when we reach even smaller goals let alone get down to goal weight. Spa day, special haircut, nails done.. just treat yourself to something you wouldn't normally do.

I want to take a trip to St. Thomas or Miami. Anywhere that I can enjoy the beach life for four days or so.

I'm going to buy one of the cars I always wanted, but couldn't fit in!

Ooh, I hadn't thought of a trip! Might add that to my list. Oh, definitely a breast lift and possibly will need a tummy tuck. I'm hoping not, but we'll see.

I mentioned adding a trip, but I live next to a beach so my kind of trip would be Italy, Ireland, Spain , or England. There are tons of awesome deals on groupons for these.

Ooh, that's very meaningful. I was thinking what I could do to make the lace tat more meaningful in regards to losing the weight but can't think of anything. ? I do think I might place a tiny tat on the top of my hand near the thumb and forefinger, not sure what that area is called, that's says something to the tune of "never again 266" <---that being my highest weight. It'd be a constant reminder.

I am also getting a tattoo when I lose 100 lbs even though it's not my final goal.

Awesome! Have you had your surgery yet? I'd love to see it when you hit that goal! Do you know what of?

I has my surgery 10/16. Down 75 lbs so far. I have to try and figure out how to post a picture. I plan to copy this tattoo.
