I don't have one weight wise, but if anything... my mommy and daddy... for busting their asses off (We had a LOT of difficult times.. financial wise) while raising 4 hellish little girls in a place where they knew no one (Cali).

How will you reward yourself at goal: I've thought about getting a tattoo of a measuring tape consisting of the length of tape used to go around my current torso. I need to get an accurate measurement this weekend. I want to have it running around my waist, possibly going around twice, which is a possibility, with a little notation of my measurements once I hit my goal weight. If it's not that, then a full calf tattoo of the Resident Evil 2's cover art (a zombie clawing into a black background and drawing blood). It'll be brutal. I'll have to restock all my current t-shirts three or four sizes smaller!
