Motivation: a trip to Europe

Hi. Today we found out, my daughter and I are going to Spain for two weeks next summer. Obviously, I do not want to look like a baboon when I get there.
Last year, my daughter and I took a school trip to Greece and Italy. I only managed to loose 30 pounds for that trip. I looked like a whale and I refused to be in the pictures.
Now we have nine months to take care of this, so now I have all the motivation I need to loose more than 30 pounds. I have the added incentive of wanting to be comfortable on the plane seat. I am already afraid of flying. Why compound it with a sore butt from a long flight in an uncomfortable seat?
Now I have the motivation, all I need is a plan. Keep trying.

I battle weight at 41 (almost 42). Arghhh! But, I find it much easier to keep off if I maintain a degree of muscle. I will never be a size 6 again, though ... (sigh)

I was never a size 6, I was an 8, even though I was 5'3" and 120 LBS, because I had a puertorrican butt. More of a Beonce than a JLo if you know what I mean. But I know how you feel, and I am working hard. Keep in touch and let me know how you are doing.
