Celebrating milestones?? What did YOU do???

WOW JULIE

You're at 100 pounds! Thats FANTASTIC!!! I've heard of people buykng a charm bracelet pre-op and each milestone, they add a charm to it. I am just about at my 100 pound mark. I'm working my butt off (literally) to get there by next week and my "reward" is I am getting my nose pierced. Yeah I know, very strange, but I've wanted to for a long time. Just a tiny diamond stud. Nothing huge and showy. Going to get it done while we're in Boston for Thanksgiving. I also like Kellie's idea, Buying a necklace. Maybe you can get a necklace with a charm holder and add charms to that? COngrats Julie. You are doing super!  (toasting you with my GNC chocolate protein shake)

Well, I found my necklace - its a little silver heart that we are having engraved with "century" - I also am thinking about getting a second set of ear piercings

I like the idea of that engraving, Jenn. The necklace sounds pretty and like it'll always be memorable. I pierced my ears myself the first time when I was about 12, and it didn't hurt at all. When I had my second set done I thought I should do it professionally. It hurt like h#&%^. Those holes still bother me every time I use them. Some things are better done by yourself . Want me to come visit???? -Julie

Thanks for the great ideas. I'd love to do the tattoo since it's also so NOT me, but I think I'll wait until I reach goal for that one. I'm thinking a piece of jewelry may be the best choice, too. Now it's just what. Gee, I have to go shop for something pretty?? Poor me . -Julie

When you get your tattoo - I wanna come with you!!!!!!!!! Hmm maybe I'll get another.......

Oh you're coming!! I'll need someone to blame my shameful behavior on .

Julie - i wouldnt miss it for the world!

I've accomplished a few milestone loss 100 Got under 300 Got under 250 Got out of the 20 sizes Pulling my front car seat out of the back seat However, when I started this journey, my surgeon gave me a goal weight of 170 lbs. At the time I thought "yeah whatever". Right now being only 51 lbs away, I think when I get to his goal, I will get vanity plates that read "SMO NOMO". I know its chopped up english but that is what will fit. Other than that I mostly cried on the other milestones. Somedays I still cry when I think about how far I have come and how proud I am of myself. Honestly I don't ever remember being proud of myself for anything. This is a first and I a glad to admit it
