Goal rewards—suggestions?



Recommended Posts

What are some things you plan on rewarding yourself with as you hit your weight-loss goals? (Or health/fitness goals, etc.)

I can only come up with a few:

-new leggings
-new Fitbit band (old one getting too big!)
-new workout shoes

Bath and Body Works -- they have so many amazing scents. Candles, wallflowers, car scents, lotions, hand soaps, body washes...

Yes! This was my biggest reward! I worked hard losing my excess weight, and picked up a ton of OT shifts to pay for it. It’s so worth every ache & pain from working out, every extra minute on the job, and every time I’ve made the healthy choice as to what I put in my mouth. Yay for big rewards!

Shopping!!!!!

I've had to buy new underwear twice in the last month. Now that I'm in a normal size, I'm buying pretty undies, with lace etc. vs. "granny panties"!

Hardly a week goes by before I find myself driving into the Ross or T.J. Max plaza!! 🤣

Thanks for all the ideas! I brainstormed with my husband last night and another good one he suggested was family photos! I love this because it’s something that has meaning and will last. Will probably save this for closer to goal weight.

I also use things that I want such as to try a new makeup or day trips as inspiration. Home decor, such as new bedding, painting a room, or wall hanging that I want and would usually just buy/do I set a goal and work on it.

+ 1

I'd add:

  • vacation someplace hot where you can wear a bikini with your smaller bod (pending pandemic restrictions)
  • new wedding ring/engagement ring (to fit your smaller fingers)...and if you don't have one to replace, just get one anyway! Or any other piece of sparkly thing
  • tattoo (i've already decided that I'm going to get one once the parlours open up! mid-life crisis, anyone??? lol)
  • hair extensions (to add fullness to your weight-loss related hair thinning)
  • fancy new underwear/lingerie that you have no intention of actually wearing for very long LOLOLOLzzzz

I bought myself a snowboard. I haven't gone in about 10 years because my weight got too high. I can't wait to go again.

When I am down 100lb, I'm having a mini spa "day" (may be more than a day depending on when I can get appointments). An esthetician friend of mine said she would gift me a facial, waxing, and pedicure, and I also plan on getting a massage and a haircut.

My goal is 120lb down... I'm not sure what I'm going to do at goal yet.

31lb till -100... 😁

I set mine in increments, so like reward at -50, then -75, -100.

Currently I’m -46 so come on -50!

My rewards list:

New hair day

New tattoo day

clothes shopping

And for my husband and I both (he only has 30lbs to lose of course lol) we want an exercise bike to add to our home gym.

Yep, a new hair day for sure, though I don't think I'm going to tie it to a specific weight-loss goal. It'll be more like, "I'm 2 months out, it's time for a haircut to hide the thinning!"

When I'm down 200 lbs, I'm gonna go to Thailand to get all the excess skin removed.

OH BUT THEN...

I'm taking a month long trip to Scotland, Ireland, and England to explore my ancestral roots...
also to find myself a super kind, intelligent, kilt wearing, whiskey drinking, log throwing, red beard (with streaks of gray) having, social justice oriented, two full sleeve tattoo having HUSBAND that laughs from the depths of his belly.

It's happening, people. It's. Happening.

There are some good plastic/cosmetic surgeons in Thailand, a lot of have undertaken fellowships in USA, Australia and elsewhere. While cheaper in Thailand (when compared to Australia), over the last few years pre-covid, the price gap started closing, but definitely still worthwhile considering as long as due diligence is undertaken for surgeon/hospital.

As an example, price list from a Medical Tourism agent (prices in Thai Baht, AUD, NZ)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
