    did read about the balloon thing but didn't know it was for that....I think a tattoo is a better idea though as it is a permanent reminder of how far you have come and what you have achieved....:beer:

    Pap, I've been told only to weigh myself once a month by my health trainer.

    Ames, I did that when I was calorie counting, everyone thought was mad so I am glad a professional agrees :T Sadly with CD you have to weigh when you buy supplies, plus it keeps me ontrack as if I had four weeks to wait I know I would cheat the two weeks after weighin :o

    Yes, I decided on that because its like the final 'release' iyswim. However for the cost and the red tape it certainly swayed me to my second choice of a tattoo. Plus it will always be there as a reminder and will stop me falling into bad habbits :D

    I like that idea pap, I wish I could do it when I get down to my target weight, but I can't have tattoos :(
