To Succeed or NOT to Succeed...that is the ???
Okay, I've been dragging my feet far too long. I'm sitting here at 9lbs to goal. My goal date is April 5, and as you know, the last 10lbs can be the toughest to lose. April 5 is 5 weeks from this past Sunday. Let's say I wrap it up?!?
That's where you guys come in. I need your help. I'm talking about Motivation, PEOPLE!
MOTIVATION TO SUCCEED: I was thinking of a game kind of like a bet. If I meet my goal on or before, what should I do to treat myself? I should tell ya, it CAN'T cost more than 50 cents! My husband has had his hours cut this winter, so I need to brainstorm inexpensive ways to treat myself. The wardrobe is taken care of because I was at my goal 2 years ago in April and only stayed there for 8 months. ONE GREAT REWARD IS GOING TO BE WEARING SOME GREAT SHORTS I ONLY WORE FOR ONE SUMMER. Can you think of other ways to motivate me? I'm not good at that...
MOTIVATION NOT TO FAIL: If I DON'T meet my goal ON TIME, what do you guys want me to do? Make it PAINFUL! I once had a bet with Skailark that if he lost the bet, I wanted a picture of him posted on his profile IN A TUTU! Unfortunately, I lost and owed him 100 crunches. Use your imaginations.
Also, I have a BEFORE picture showing me when I weighed 210+ pounds. Would you like to see it soon or once I reach my goal?
Feel free to make suggestions about the next 4 1/2 weeks, too. Go ahead, make my day! I really need to do this. I think I've been afraid to pour on the gusto because I don't trust myself to maintain my goal weight. Well, I'm hovering here at 149, so why not hover at 140? BTW, once I get to 140, my goal is to maintain 137-143. I plan on staying around here and making YOUR lives miserable, so you can hold me accountable - or "punish" me with "motivation" on that, too, if you wish. BRAINSTORM!!!
Come on! I need you guys to scare the pounds off of me!

To Miss Ranae And Miss Twehner!
Okey Ladies! Now I am not going to intimidated by a bunch of school girls here...lol......I am up for the challenge! Wot do ya say? I am ready for the tutu show but you have to try harder!
But if you guys fail then you have to do all the things I said before plus
You will take picture in a clown suit! and miss Ranae you too!
So Is it going to be comedy show of the clown Girls? Or Tutu?
I am pretty sure the latter is unlikely to happen!
So the forum is going to go Clown Girls! Clown Girls! Clown Girls! He he he....

OK .. you CAN go out and eat all the M&M's you want .. as long as they are the little stuffed toy ones .. LOLLLLL
And, it didn't take long at all .. all those words so easily describe you they just rolled out.
Here's another idea .. get a new scrapbook and mount up all those old pictures .. and then .. start NEW PAGES of the NEW YOU and TAKE PICTURES OFTEN!!! This is a visual way to keep in check and Strut Your Stuff! If you're ever tempted or start seeing the scales creep up just a little, then address it quickly and turn to the back of the book as a reminder if you fail to pay attention.
Most of all .. just remember to be good to you .. to be healthy!
***CHANTING LOUDLY*** **SKAILARK TU-TU .. SKAILARK TU-TU .. SKAILARK TU-TU ON YOU-TUBE!!!**
I will even get in on this challenge .. if Skailark will accept!!!

Hummmm. The ideas keep pouring in! This is great. I think that I should print out all these unbelievably creative ideas and copy them into my "little black book" (the book where I've kept track of my progress, measurements, food journals WHEN I use them, etc.). These ideas from you guys can be continuing rewards for when I KEEP MY WEIGHT OFF THIS TIME!!!
WOW, I am impressed. How long did it take you to come up with that "Who or What is a Twehner? Not only that, but, HOW NICE WAS THAT?!?!?
The one thing is, in all of these awesome posts...I haven't seen ONE telling me to go out and eat all of the M&M's I want. What's up with that?
