Starting weight: 220 lbs

Goal weight: 145 lbs

215 lbs                       New music

210 lbs                       New workout dvd

205 lbs                       Fun workout tank

200 lbs                       Get pedicure

195 lbs                       New book

190 lbs                       30 minute massage

185 lbs                       New running shoes

180 lbs                       New dvd

175 lbs                       New workout outfit

170 lbs                       Weekend beach trip

165 lbs                       Something from amazon wishlist

155 lbs                       New design class

150 lbs                       New outfit ($100)

145 lbs                       Trip to Disney world
