What's Your Vacation Destination?

[mere150]

This challenge is for those with exciting vacation plans in the near future. Post your destination, date of travel, and goal. Since so many challenges just involve a weekly weigh-in, let's do a little more to keep ourselves motivated. I suggest we take turns and have a weekly assignment. But, it has to be something fun. For example, this week our assignment is to post pics of "dream clothes" to wear on your trip. They can be unrealistic clothes or realistic ones, it doesn't matter as long as it's fun. I'll try to think of tasks when no one else has the time or any ideas. I already do a Tuesday weigh-in as part of the End-of-February challenge so we can keep that or do any day of the week you want. I'll keep a list and update it as often as possible that lists our goal and when the challenge ends for each of us. If you feel uncomfortable saying exactly where you are going or the exact dates then please just say something like "a tropical destination the latter half of June."

I think I am going to Mexico in June or July. It's a mission trip so it's more like tkaing off from work to go to another job, but our afternoons will have a couple of hours of free time. And I would love to be able to comfortably wear sleeveless shirts for the trip. I'll share more details as I know them. My weight loss goal is 170, but I'll take anything less than 190. My main goal is to wear sleeveless shirts and to work my butt off and wear a cute bathing suit, not one of those with a skirt that's supposed to hide your big butt LOLOL.

I got some details on the trip. It's in the 3rd week of July, so my goal of 170 and a tankini is doable if I work my butt off. I will admit though that a tankini will only be worn when sun-bathing. If I do any actual swimming I'll wear a one-piece that covers everything possible. I will be going to either Playa del Carmen or Cozumel (??sp).

Dream Clothes


I would love to wear a tankini, but right now it seems a little too optimistic. There's a cute one at Wal-mart right now that I would buy if I really thought I could wear it by then.

I know Stephanie will be around soon, but is no one else going on vacation??? It's not any fun to be in a challenge all by yourself.

Lol, boards were down all day yesterday so I couldn't come post!

I am going to Scotland mid-June! That is exactly five months from now. I am really excited! I don't really have clothes that I am looking forward to wearing, since I don't know what I will want to wear yet, BUT here are some things I want to accomplish:

1. Cardio 4x per week (or 5 as I work up to it) so I can do some hiking in the highlands while we're there.

2. Lose 50 pounds before we go. That is 10 pounds a month and I hope, doable! I want to be comfortable on the airplane.

Maybe people don't come to this board much?

Well, I guess I'll just have to let them know it's here. I'll post something in the Women's and Main forum.

Hi girlies!

Im going on vacation in August - about the 5th i think - that week anyway and i wanna be at goal for then! if im not at goal - im not allowing myself to go

so can i join your challenge?

[mere150]

Of course you can. Besides, I have no doubt in my mind that you will be at goal by August. Anywhere in mind that you want to travel to?

Going to see my best friend and a bunch of other friends that live in New Jersey itll be cool cos i was still "fat" last time they saw me

oh and my 2 exes over there - that could be fun too!

I'm going away (so far) to Cali hopefully in July (near the end of.) That's about 6 months from now. If I can get down to 200 by then it would be great! I'm willing, to drink extra water, exercise, and follow induction strictly. Which I already am :yes I know I could bump up the exercise up a couple notches though.








Those arent the exact clothes, but it's the style I like. I would love to be able to wear a skirt. Maybe not as short but we'll see when the time comes

I love that skirt Christina! thats like the one i want but i want it more olive green - army ish

Those are skirts are everywhere now, their really in style. By time I go there might be something new out, but I would still wear it. It would be awesome in army camoflauge (sp?) with a black shirt with green writing on it. Maybe a couple studded cuff bracelets. Then the outfit has a touch of punk. :nod That would look good. How would you put together that skirt? I like new ideas :nod

:joy I'm not alone anymore. :joy
I love those clothes Christina. If my trip wasn't church related I'd be working my butt off to wear clothes like that. Needless to say I may want to wear a tankini, but it aint happening (goal met or not).

Cinders--What do you want to wear? Are you going somewhere that a new bathing suit is appropriate or just some new clothes?

Oh, and does anyone want to handle next weeks assignment? You don't have to announce it now, just say that you want to do it. And don't feel that you have to do one if you can't think of anything. I am more than ok with doing more than one assignment.
