Weight Loss Rewards

[SrHogan 6]

Ok so u want to set up a rewards list for my weigh loss at different increments (& not food related). All I can think if us a pair of hot sexy heels ( which I haven't worn in almost three years because of a knee injury) & a trip to the spa. Does anybody have any ideas or suggestions?

I bought jewelry, fancy underwear, skinny jeans, massages, and a watch. Before I got to goal I set my goal reward as a new wardrobe but I have changed to a facelift. My face lost my chubby cheeks and things just sagged (I am almost 57) so the clothes can wait for now.

Heels and spa sound awesome!!!

It's hard to choose rewards because they so often require spending money, which is tight in our household.

So far I've only set two: 241, which was the weight I was when I started my most successful diet in my life (Atkins). I was 23. For that, I will reward myself with a new haircut (which I desperately need).

Next one after that is 212, which was what I got to when I got bored with Atkins and quit. That was what I weighed when I met my partner 10+ years ago. Not sure what I'll do then to Celebrate.

Of course, there's always "onderland"... I think it's probably important to Celebrate goals and NSVs, but I'm still trying to figure out how to do that without it involving food or too much money.

I'm curious to hear what others say!

I told my wife I was going to buy a new car when I lost 100lbs...which I don't really "need" nor can I really afford...my car is only going to be 22 yrs old this Dec 29...so its still has a lot of life left in it...

Perhaps a new bike??? :-)

Ohhh mullethead love the new bike idea I might have to add that for my 25lbs lost!!

I want to travel..I don't even care where I go. I want to walk and hike and tolerate heat. Take my camera and go on long shoots without being short winded and a hot mess. So my husband and I are hoping to plan something out west for the summer.

I know they aren't the best thing for you but in moderation I like to get a tan before summer but I exceeded the weight limit for the tanning bed..would be nice to fit in one again.

My biggest reward will be when I can play around with the kids and grandkids...like ball in the yard, jump on a trampoline, go sledding,,etc.

I'd also like to have good comfortable sex again.

[SrHogan 6]

Amen peace queen I totally am looking forward to that too. Can't wait till my husband can pick me up or is able to actually put his arms around me!!

I'd also like to have good comfortable sex again.

Clothes are a pretty frequent reward for me, out of sheer necessity. I also got myself a heart rate monitor to use with my workouts, which has been really motivating.

This is a topic I havent really thought about and should. I have not been rewarding myself. I have missed my halloween goal by a few pounds and now I am going to miss my Xmas one by a few pounds too so there has not been a real reward system. I am happy with my results but I didnt think to reward myself for how well I am doing. I set these arbitrary goals for myself, not knowing where to start.. they have been too high each time. I am going to set rewards right now for different milestones I want to reach and follow through with it! Thanks for the idea!

I think things like new makeup, a pedicure, jewelry, a massage, a new purse, etc would be good rewards. I have to buy new clothes every few weeks anyway and I get them at thift stores. I plan to buy a whole new wardrobe when I reach goal and level off anyway. I do see the need to get smaller rewards along the way though.

The only reward I promised myself is a back piece when I get to goal and have given my skin time to shrink. It would be my first tattoo though, so I think I would actually get something else smaller.

I would look funny in heels so I think a trip to Cancun is in order.

Manis and pedis, massages, new hair, new clothes, spa day, all sorts of goals. Shoes are always on the list - shoes are a necessity hahah Can't wait to wear those heels again!

I reward myself with a facial or massage on a monthly basis. This is more a reward to myself for staying a non-smoker than for reaching any particular weight. I did splurge on a pair of nice earings when I got below 200 lbs. I had initially thought I would go on an awesome vacation to Celebrate hitting my goal weight, but now I'm thinking I'd rather put the $ towards removing all the saggy skin.
