[quote=Anonymous]I have to lose 60 pounds. I am 192 and 5'3". I've lost and gained through most of my adult life (I have serious food "issues") but I feel like it's now or never for me. I'm 38 with two sweet little boys watching me only partially live life because of my food issues and weight problems.

So! I have a food plan made (very healthy, mostly fruits and veggies and beans) that I believe will keep me from being too hungry. I have my big water bottle and stocked up on my favorite trashy "grape" flavored Crystal Light. I am using a cognitive behavioral journal to help me start to think about food in a more healthy way.

One thing I really need are some real rewards along the way. So far I've come up with two that are actually things I want and won't treat myself to (I'm a tad frugal): the iTunes subscription to The Walking Dead (we live overseas with the Foreign Service so that's the only way I can see them until they come out on Netflix in a decade or so) at 10 pounds lost and a subscription to a video-game site like Shockwave so I can play some fun time-wasters at night after the kids are in bed and my food is prepped for the next day at 20 pounds lost.

Can you help me brainstorm other ideas? I'm posted overseas right now so things I can do/buy online are especially great, though here in Panama we can find most activities that we can in DC. Thank you in advance for any help/support you can share![/quote]
