I'm curious as to what everyone did once they lost weight. I know some people by goal outfits and some people get tattoos and piercings. Some people are just happy with the weight loss itself. What did everyone out there do? I was thinking I want a tatto on my ribs... I think this will help me stay positive and have something new and exciting to look forward to... :smile:

Everyones ideas are great. I'm not a very positive person but these make me feel great!

According to Japanese legend if a koi fish succeeded in climbing the falls at a point called Dragon Gate on the Yellow River it would be transformed into a dragon. So, when I reach my goal weight, I want to get a tattoo of a koi. It represents perseverence in overcoming adversity. I'd like one of a koi transforming into a dragon, but haven't found one, yet, that I like.

I want to start riding again. I used to own a horse and ride all the time and now I am just to heavy. I found a place nearby that has a half lease program set up that I would love to try.

I also plan on a breast (whatever it takes) and maybe a TT if necessary.

I have planned on this goal, if I lose 50-60lbs by November, I am buying myself (and my son) tickets to Paris for a week in the spring. I have always wanted to go but have never even tried, so this is pretty big for me. :smile:

That's a good one. If I had the money, I'd change my vote to this, too! lol :eek:

Yeah, Im starting a vacation fund along with that. My birthday is in November so that's why I picked it. I CAN'T WAIT!!

I want to go skinny dipping with my husband somewhere dark and romantic and a little risky.

I will buy ALL new underwear and bras... matching sets, cute ones. I know I'll spend a fortune on this.

And I'm not sure when I'll get to these, but I want to FLASH at Mardi Gras and I want to sunbathe topless at a beach that allows that.

(On good lord, I'm an exhibitionist trapped in a fat chick's body!!!)

Okay, I haven't set a final goal yet, but let me tell you a little story........I have always been heavy (220 in Jr. High). when I was first married (225 on Wedding day), my hubby and I would go to Yosemite every summer. I wanted to go horseback riding but they have a 200 pound weight limit. So everytime I went on a diet, the goal was to get down to horseback riding wieght. Of couse, 20 years of marriage and ballooning up to 265, that wasn't going to happen.

I am now in Onederland and my hubby, son and I are going on a camping trip to Zion and Bryce Canyon National Park this summer. My hubby came in and said "good news honey,I checked and Zion has horseback riding and you meet the weight limit now. Only one problem.......now I don't meet the weight limit"

My son and I got a great kick out of that one. My son said he'd go riding with me and dad can stay at camp and keep the fire going for our return.

This isn't really a goal, just something I'm looking forward to! Last October, my fiance and I went to Disney World/Universal; after the first day, I thought my feet were gonna fall off! We had to take frequent breaks, and I avoided some rides b/c I was afraid I wouldn't fit. October 2010 we have another trip planned for Universal/SeaWorld (we are totally hooked!!!), and by then I should be down quite a bit in weight (surgery 7/21/09 if all goes well). I can't wait to be able to get on any ride I want and not worry if I'll fit. And I plan to be in much better shape so we won't have to take as many breaks!

im planning on going to jamaica in november. i went last year when i weighed 220 and didnt wanna be seen in a bathing suit. i cant wait to go back this year. i feel so much better about myself. thats still close to 6 months away, im at 186 now, i should be really close to goal by then.

oh and im getting a tatto in july if i make my birthday goal
