March Bandsters - Mini Goals & Rewards?

[whimsy 0]

I thought it would be motivating to have a thread dedicated to each mini goal we accomplish. That way, we can share or our scale and non-scale victories as well as the means we rewarded ourselves for our dedication and effort.

My first mini-goal is to weigh under 300 pounds. I have about 15 pounds to go in order to accomplish this.

My husband says he will plan something special for this occasion, so I don't really have a reward in mind at the moment. Of course, something with diamonds would be great!

What about you guys? What are your mini-goals and rewards?

Hi!

I think my first mini-goal is the be at 250. It is a little over 20 pounds away. I think I will reward myself with a spa manicure. I always do my nails, but it is so much fun to have someone else do it!

Ok, that is an excellent reward and I will probably steal it sooner or later. Keep us posted when you hit your first mini-goal so we can Celebrate it with you!

Wow, I havent really thought about my mini goals yet, this is great. I think my first mini goal will be to get under 200, I will say 195. Wow it has been so long since I have seen that number!! I have 13 pounds to go.

I think I will reward myself with a new pair of pants! I know I dont want to buy a lot of new clothes, however, I have a trip coming up and I would like to have a new pair of pants!!

Good Luck to all

I agree - clothes are always a wonderful reward. I've been thinking about buying some outfits in advance to wear "when I get there". That way, I can see that cute outfit in the closet waiting for me and give me that added motivation.

The problem is that the things I dream about wearing and looking good in are usually things like...boy short undies. *grins*

I will have my band on March 19th.

When I think about mini goals I think of food. Well I'm going to have to rethink that from now on won't I. Glad to see you guys here. I won't feel so alone

I used to think that way, too. Celebrations meant going out to eat at my favorite restaurants.

So, I'm having to rewire my brain and see things differently.

Right now, I'm 8 pounds away from my first mini-goal, which is to be under 300 pounds.

My husband says he has something special planned for me but who knows what that is? *grins*

I also decided on a more long-term goal. When I lose 10 inches from my waist, I'm going to buy myself a pair of Apple Bottom jeans. It's nothing super fancy but it's still a reward that I'd be happy with. I've already picked out the size (I checked the size chart to find out what would fit me 10 inches from now) so I may go ahead and order them and have them hanging up somewhere to keep me motivated.

My one year reward is to travel to Thailand with one of my best friends. My mother is Thai and the last time I went I was still a toddler. So, I'm hoping by this time next year I'll be significantly healthier and thin enough to be comfortable wearing a swimsuit in public. :biggrin2:

My first mini goal is get through the pre op liquid goo phase!

I have scheduled a massage for the night before my surgery in anticipation of my success :biggrin2::biggrin2:

Getting under 2 bills is my first post op mini goal.....that's 30 pounds!

I haven't decided on a reward....but I'm leaning towards NEW SHOES!

My first mini goal is 15 lbs by the end of April. I've already lost 13 lbs since 3/3/08 . MY husband is throwing a birthday party the last week and I would love to weigh less than 210.

I hope I hope I hope. What a birthday present huh?

Good luck on all your mini goals

Hi there,

My first mini-goal is to lose another stone (6.5kg, or 14 lbs) by the end of April. That would take me down to 84.5kg (185 lbs). I think my reward will be a new charm for my charm bracelet!

My first mini goal was to be under 200 and my reward is a facial. I really want that facial though, so I may change the goal to just 25lbs! I've never been good at waiting for things!

What are these Apple Bottom jeans i keep hearing about everywhere? Is it a particular style, or a brand?
