Reward for 50 lbs lost?

[sunnyd 32]

I just bought a watch for losing 100lbs. It will always fit! I think a spa day will be my next reward for losing more pounds- massage and facial sound lovely.

I absolutely love the idea of gift cards to clothing stores now to use once at goal. I'm going to start using that idea when people ask what to get me for b-day, x-mas, etc. Love it!

I started "rewarding" myself right after surgery- I bought a pandora Bracelet and reward myself with a new bead with every 10 lbs lost. My bracelet is sporting 8 beads and I will be getting the 9th one in a few days. There are lots of pandora-like brands out there. It's a fun way to reward myself and exciting when I get to show off a new bead earned. Find something that is extra special to Celebrate all the hard work

I did a nice piece of jewlery. It wasn't something I would normally do and with my now showing collar bone...it made me feel even better! Do something you wouldn't normally do and that you can see as a constant reminder of what you've accomplished so far. I'll always have my necklace to remind me. Congrats!

I love your responses, especially the pandora Bracelet with a new bead for every 10 lbs lost and the gift cards for clothing stores. Thanks for the great ideas.

well - I lost 170lbs with my lapband and at 100 lbs I got a tatoo (tramp stamp) on my lower back of a phoneix - as I felt I was starting a re-birth. At 125lbs down I got a face lift - your face is the most visiable and boy did that make me feel great. At 150lbs lost I got a Tummy Tuck and Lipo. and when it healed I got a dancing fairy with flames on my newly tummy tucked self on my right hip and love it (can see this one). When I get back down to my lowest weight I am looking at something else to Celebrate. These are pretty private areas and for me to enjoy (although my boyfriend loves them).

Whatever you do - do it for yourself and make it something that will be a symbol of all your hard work and dedication...you deserve it.

I actually love the idea of the bracelet...maybe I could get one tattooed on my ankle and add a bead for every 10 lbs lost...(gosh once you start getting tattoos - it gets to be addictive)...

Thanks for starting this thread - I hit my 50lb loss today, and wouldn't have made a big deal of it but you got me thinking, and so I did, and I bought a pair of non stretch, normal width knee high boots, I love them so much I am going back tomorrow to buy a pair in another colour (well, hell I have lost 50lb!!!)
