I vote for pandora or any of the beads that way you have them as a constant reminder of your milestones.

Every 30 pounds I would buy myself a very nice workout outfit from LuLuLemon to keep me motivated at the gym but since I am now at goal my husband treated me with a tummy tuck! I had it yesterday and it was so worth it!

I love the Pandora charm idea! I already have one in mind for my next goal...when I am officially overweight and not obese. I am going to buy myself the butterfly charm that is two pieces to signify my metamorphosis. I love the lulu lemon idea. I have always wanted a lulu outfit but have never been able to fit the clothes. The largest they have is a 12. So perhaps that will be my goal after that! Thanks for the great ideas!!!

Rewarding yourself is an awesome idea to keep yourself motivated! I can't remember all of my little 'rewards' to myself now but I remember my first one for getting under 90kgs for the first time since before I had kids - I bought myself an iPod. It was the best investment because that thing blasted music in my ears every single time I worked out until it died a year ago!

For every ten pounds I lose I'm going to buy a stackable expression ring. So when I get to 50 lbs I'll buy 5. When I get to my goal weight I'm buying an ipad lol.

I went out and bought 2 pandora charms. One for when I complete my 5 day pouch challenge (Friday) and a very special one for when I hit 174 lbs and am no longer considered obese. They are all wrapped up pretty and sitting on a special shelf. I can't wait to hit my goals!

See, I'm way too impatient. I got a Pandora Bracelet for my 40th birthday four years ago. My birthday is in August. By Christmas the bracelet was full, lol. And Im pedantic, no random mix of beads for me, my bracelet has a definite theme!

Lynn -

Glad you liked the idea. When we reach our goals, we should share a picture of our bracelets. (BTW - I pick my charms in advance too!).

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
