I am almost to my 100lb lost goal!! I had hoped for 5 months-but I guess I'll have to settle for 6!

I want to reward myself with something special as a reminder.

I want something more permanent and memorable than clothes, or makeup. Just got a new haircut.

I have considered a nice bracelet-but my wrists are still too large to just buy one-maybe for my 200 goal!

I don't wear earrings or rings. Not that fond of necklaces either (it's that size thing again-plus I'm more bohemian style)

I got a makeover the Last time I lost 100 lbs (and then quickly proceeded to gain it back).

Taking a cuise with my kids in December (hoping to lose another 50lbs before then!)

So what did you do to commemorate? Or what do you plan to do?

Do you Celebrate every 10 or 25 lbs?

Just looking for some ideas.

I have been rewarding myself every 25 pounds. I need it! my next reward is going to be a full body massage. I have never had one because I have felt to fat to do it...it would be so embarresing....but now I am feeling more comfortable in my own skin and am looking forward to it :)

when I lose all the way to goal my reward is going to be a lot of stuff! #1 will be a Tummy Tuck and a boob lift/augment

#2 will be a whole new wardrobe and #3 is going to be an ankle tattoo of my kids names.

you definatly need to reward yourself! you deserve it! congrats!!! :)

How about something electronic?? Maybe a new cell phone or a new camera/camcorder.

I've done every 25 pounds for something really nice like a makeover at MAC or Clinique. But every 10 pounds I try to do something a little special too like a new bottle of nail polish (I purchase the gel polishes so they are $15-$20 a pop). I'm quickly approaching 100 pounds lost and wondering the same thing. I really think I'm going to splurge for a full body massage. I find as I've lost weight and my body is re-adjusting itself to its new shape I have some aches and pains and figure it would be a nice way to relieve stress!

I bought myself a gym membership to Celebrate the century mark, although I'm still a few pounds away. That's something that will have a permanent effect on how the rest of my journey goes. :)

Congrats on hitting the 100 pound mark! I'm raising my Water bottle in a toast to you!! :)

I'm getting close to my 100lb mark as well!! Go us!! I hadn't thought about any kind of reward, but I definitely think thats a great idea.

I don't know that I'll do this for this 100lb goal but one of my BIG rewards is going to be to go to Six Flags....not because it's super exciting (I go to DisneyWorld about 6 times a year, Six Flags doesn't really compare lol) BUT it's the first place where my weight actually started affecting my life. I couldn't fit on the Batman The Ride ride (this is at Six Flags Over Texas). My first truly humiliating weight related experience and I was only about 17 years old. Fitting into that ride will be the absolute best accomplishment for me.

As for a reward, I like the jewelry idea even though you said you aren't a jewelry fan. What about a spa day or a mani/pedi? Maybe not a whole wardrobe of clothes but a nice new dress or something?

I think I'm going to start looking into my 100lb jewelry reward! :) Congrats again!!

      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.
