i got a trip comin up soon too. going to family reuinion in arizona in march. its definately been one of my main motivators lately. dam i wish i had been taking pictures all along. the only people who have said i look good are those i bump into at the grocery store who havent seen me like in 2 yrs. my husband has not complimented me even once on my 40 pound loss over the past year. it sure sucks.
