JenSan120 10 Posted October 6, 2015 @@fabnsab ...I'm making a goal chart with rewards every time I reach a particular weight. When I lose 50 pounds...I'm buying myself some cow girl boots...LOL! I also made a list of things I'm looking forward to...a weight loss bucket list...if you will! Some things: fitting into my wedding ring again, rock climbing, family photo shoot, being able to cross my legs, horseback riding, being able to wrap myself in a towel, etc etc! I'm excited!

fabnsab 19 Posted October 6, 2015 Oh Jen, that list is MY list!! Lol So many times, I've thought "I can't wait to have a towel wrap around me!" And my wedding ring...I tell people I don't like to wear jewelry as the reason I don't wear it. I can't wait for it to slip on! Girl, pick out those boots! You're going to earn them fast.
