I plan on going to Aruba.  Well, I am already planning to go in Feb. 2008, so I guess I better lose the weigh for my bikini :-)

I have several plans. Walk a half marathon and climb Mt. LeConte in Gatlinburg, TN

 I really like the idea of a reward for each 10lbs. 

 First 10:  A month of tanning

Second 10: Shop for something new for my new house

Third 10: Mani & Pedi

Fourth 10: A new haircut and highlights

Last 10: SHOP TIL I DROP!

      I'm expecting more sex as a reward too! only my husband has not been withholding. Only I know in my heart he would like a slimmer wife. when he married me I was 98lbs that was 23 years ago two kids later im now 160 and 5'11' so I think we both will enjoy each other if I were slimmer. even though he hasn't said much I can see it in his eyes. and truth be told that is why I sleep in a different room. we have sex and all but not enough cuddling.

 Great question and some fantastic answers.

I am going to move the fat clothes out of my closet and bring back the beautiful small things I was wearing a year ago.   That should be encouragement enough to see those small clothes hanging there - can try them on every so often til they fit and I feel good again. 

Then when the small stuff that I have fits it will be time to go shopping for a few new things. 

 when i reach my goal weight I am just going to be so happy with myself that i will then determine to lose 10 more pounds and keep it off. That will be my reward.  So I may be a happier and a more confident person.

hahaha! I love it, that's right girl, show him! I think I"m going to buy a pair of shorts, I have never been able to wear shorts, well when I was 22, but not recently.

After that I"m going model some of the hot and sexy lingerie for my husband that has been sitting in a botton drawer forever!

And when I finally lose the stomach I 'm going to proudly display my belly ring. oh yea, baby!

 I am going to buy myself a VW Beetle.  A Convertible - cream colored.  I am to heavy to be comfy in it now, but after the 110 pounds I need to lose I will look great in it.  Short term goal - a pedicure.

 I'm going shopping for a sexy outfit to go dancing in with my husband!!!

What a GREAT IDEA!  That's a lot of new clothes....

I'm in.

 I'm all about the clothes, too!  Goodbye to shopping for things that might camoflage what I don't like about my body (mid-section).  Hello to hipper clothes that suit the inner me and the new outer me!

 bugabug1, I like how you think!  What a great idea and a wonderful way to stay on your plan.  I think I may try to adapt that for myself, thanks for the idea

I want to loose 70lbs, so at $5 a lb, that is still $350- for new clothes! not a bad start
