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!

Oh wow!! Darn!! I just realized, I should have kept my big mouth shut (errr, fingers still??). Now I've spouted off and I have to get with the program and give this my best shot, cuz there will be NO clown suit for this chick!!
Well, ok - gotta come up with a reasonable goal!!

Well ... must say that Skailark is a really good egg ... and is wonderful in the motivation he is giving to all of us in this friendly Tu-tu Boy vs Clown Girls competition.
Now .. I must tell you .. we simply must vote on the color of his tutu .. but you do realize that clown suits are in order if we lose! Personally, that keeps playing through my head with eat bite and decision I am making AND I don't want to be a clown!
Happy to report .. 1/2 lb down .. 9 1/2 to go dear Skailark .. because .. you do realize .. that since those of us who are chiming in and choosing one side of the fence .. the odds are really getting better that ONE (I truly believe ALL) of us will make our goals this month and we will get to see tu-tu boy! The question is .. will HE get to see any Clown Girls????
As for the M&M's .. think we should get some C~ .. and send them to him for being such a good sport. It can be his consolation prize to help him remember the day he got to sport a tu-tu on youtube!!!
GO GIRLS GO ... THE GAME IS ON!!!!

Ok Skailark - you asked for it. Here I tried to help you out and boy did I get the "brush off"!! lol You really pushed me off the fence, didn't you?? Ouch - I think my ego got bruised a bit!!
No rainbow colors or paints on my face and I really do think your TUTU should be green with purple polka dots!!

It Doesnt matter ladies who's on my side or who's not! Coz may be on eperson here but I am a one man army! So ride your luck while you can, then get preparing to wear the rainbow colors and paints on your face! he he......
Sorry, you're either for us or against us. That's just how it's gotta be. No fence sitters here. Don't forget, he called us CLOWN GIRLS.

Whoa!!!! Wait a minute. I didn't say I was AGAINST the TUTU. I just said it wasn't fair to have so many ganging up on one person. It's quite entertaining "riding the fence" here, but if I have to make a choice - well, PLEASE don't make me!!

OOH! That sounds like a calorie serving of delicious. Hmmm. What color shall Skailark's Tu-Tu be??? That is the question...
I'll sleep on that. Glad to hear the positive thoughts coming from your direction. I realized that when I decided to "go public" about wrapping this up, that made a huge difference. Attitude is everything.
Of course, Tu-Tu's don't hurt, either. LOL, LOL!!! Get that seatbelt!

Y E S .. oh Y E S .. I am rolling out of my chair with laughter!!!
Am going to write a journal entry about today and how the thought of Skailark in a tu-tu was the motivation that kept me on the straight and narrow!
You and Skailark are truly hilarious and this is a fun way to shed a few pounds. I realized I'd been holding on to mine and being comfortable where I was for a very long time .. time to let it go and bring on the new me .. and finish this journey!
By the way .. perhaps you should start a thread/poll about what color tu-tu he should wear! How's THAT for POSITIVE THINKING!!!

See if this works as the forum motto:
Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
WHEN I REACH MY GOAL WEIGHT,
Skailark wears a TU-TU.
What do you think? I made it up all by myself. It just rolled out...

Ate my cereal this morning .. raisin bran and skim milk .. and thought about Skailark in a tu-tu .. what a motivational tool!
How you doing? Anyone else GAME???
You can set your own weight loss goal .. but the awards and consequences are the same!!!

Mr Skailark .. or should I say .. MR. SKAILARK TU-TU SIR!
I wholeheartedly accept YOUR challenge and will accompany my friend Miss Twehner on her journey.
Well .. that is the biggest carrot I've had in front of my face for a very long time! Each time I look at something to eat, I'm going to think of you in a tu-tu .. and make the very best choices!
No more avoiding the exercise for me .. if I am to meet this challenge and WIN .. I MUST now exercise routinely, which will be evidenced in my exercise tracker and exercise journal entries .. as I will be sure to mention seeing you in a tu-tu as a strong motivational tool.
Let me personally thank you for being such a good sport .. and for sharing such humor and camaraderie. There is no doubt that you are squarely in our corner urging us to achieve our goals!
And, on the off chance that I miss my mark ... by a very little bit .. I will be just as gracious as I don my clown suit.
Miss Twehner .. you game????????????
Oh .. and anyone else who wants to set their own goal and join in is VERY WELCOME to do so!!!
***TU-TU .. TU-TU .. TU-TU*** That will be my battle cry as I exercise! Sounds like the little train that could!
