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

I LOVE the Pandora charm idea!!! I think I will do that for every 10lbs and then something BIG when I make it to onderland!!! :)

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!).

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
