Funny us women are, I wasn't even happy at this size, I was on WW at this time and wanted to lose another 15-20lbs! I'd love to be this size now, not sure I will ever get back to this size but I was there before and I hope I can achieve it. Weight is approximately 160lbs. This was 2 months before I got pregnant with my first lovely daughter. We were travelling Europe, this is Montecarlo. Ahh I love that top...I could probably fit one boob in it now, lol.
I have many short-term goals to keep me motivated. When I first started this I gave myself goals at every 5lbs because it was such a daunting number to have to lose 80lbs. After the first 30lbs and a big gift to myself I quit the rewards. I feel I need them back but it takes a long time to get to them now. 5lbs gone this last time has taken months and months. My reward was a pedicure and well I just couldn't get there and couldn't wait. I caved and got it anyway.
My July goals is one of my short term ones, I've been very busy this month so I haven't kept up with it. Next month I will be more diligent. I did it last month and was so satisfied seeing how much I could actually do. Looking at the number of km's I'd run or the amount of exercise minutes, I was amazed.
Short term goals now is to get to 50lbs lost, I'm only a few lbs away but its just taking FOREVER!! Other short term goals are: journalling, drinking water and running. I should always be doing it but like all things, certain things start to get left out when there is no time.
Maybe I should start my 5lb rewards once again?
Oh and I can never forget or get tired of all the support from blogworld, it is amazing!! Thank you so much :)

I think that it is important to reward yourself for sticking to it because it is easy to celebrate a loss without a reward but sticking with the weight loss plan is what deserves rewarding.
So true, thanks!
Short term goals are the only thing that keeps me going. If Ilook too far down the horizon, it all seems too hopeless.
Here's to baby steps. And your 50 pounds. I'm right behind you trying to crack 40. Who knows? Maybe tomorrow.
What a beautiful picture!
I know what you mean, it seems like every 0.2 of a pound is more grueling than ever and I think 5 lbs rewards are a fantastic idea. I think I will have to do the same for myself!
haha "one boob" lol
love that pic of you! both of them the body pump pic and the one of you in europe! i know you can get there!
Couldn't help but laugh when I read your comment about fitting one boob in the shirt. I have many jeans that I swear only one ass cheek fits in them. lol. But I'm still holding onto hope and believe that I'll get back in them.
I think I need to focus more on the smaller goals, because it's the little things that we start to change that help create the success of reaching the big goal.
Love that picture! It even inspired me to find one of my own to put up from a time *I* was foolishly unhappy with myself. Thanks for the flashback!
