What goals and rewards have you set for yourself?



Recommended Posts

In 5.6 lbs, I’m going to six flags. I will have lost 71.6 lbs and decided by myself and family several months ago that once I hit 250 lbs even, we’d all take off and spend an entire day at six flags. It’s a goal I will probably reach before the end of September. Of course, because I’m in Texas and summer tends to last until winter, we probably won’t actually go until the beginning of October when it cools down enough to really enjoy being outside all day.

This is a big step for me. I haven’t been to six flags in almost a decade because of how terrified I was to get on a rollercoaster and not be able to fit. I LOVE rollercoasters! At 250 lbs, I will still be quite heavy compared to the average person, but at least I’ll be small enough to get a seat on the Texas Giant (huge wooden roller coaster). I’m so excited!

So, here’s the question I have for yall: What goals and rewards have you set for yourself ? I need a good one for when I hit the 100 lbs weight loss target :thumbup:

I need to meet you at Six Flags then, because that's one of my big goals too. I use to go to Six Flags all the time, but haven't since 98' because I was too embarrassed about the rides and getting around all day. I live about 30 minutes from there and I told my hubby when I get to about 220 I want to go. I'm still in the 240's, so we might have to hit HOliday in the Park, but whatever.. I want to go.

I have one more pound until I'm the weight I met my hubby at. I'm super excited about that and today I gave all my old clothes to a friend. It was hard going through my closet, but I knew it had to be done. In my head I still think "one of these days I might need those clothes".. but, I hope that won't be the case.

I used to LOVE to go kayak fishing with my husband down here in south Texas. Well, it got to the point that I couldn't get in and out of a kayak. It broke my husband's heart. I'm much more flexible now, and when the redfish start running the end of next month, my goal is to be right there next to him with pole in hand and a huge grin on my face!!

My initial goal was to lose 100 pounds and go to Kauai on vacation. Well my long time boyfriend of 7 years asked me to marry him and we decided to make it an all in 1 trip. We are getting married in Kauai. I have only lost 46 pounds so far but I still have 5 months and I plan to work just as hard towards that goal. If I don't lose the whole 100 by then I wont kick myself since I will have lost alot of weight and gained the best man in the world while doing it.

I also have plans for next june to hit six flags with just my 16 year old daughter. We both love coasters. She is very petite so it's hard on her when she wanted me to do something with her there and I couldn't fit at 270 pounds :tt2: I am at 221 right now so I know I can fit now so every pound from now till six flags is a bonus!

I was banded July 2, 2008. My first goal was to get under 200 lbs. I was 223.5 at time of surgery. I wanted to be under 200 lbs by my 2nd month anniversary which is today!! WELL I got on the scale today and I weigh 197!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had a colonoscopy today so I haven't done much else. LOLOLOL I really didn't think I would reward myself with something although now that Iam down 26 lbs I could use some better fitting clothes? Maybe a couple of outfits???

Congratulations on the weight loss! And you know, buying new things is definitely a reward, but it's more than that too. I can't tell you how happy I was when I tried on a size 24 (previous size was a really large 28, almost 30) and it fit! And it didn't just fit, it fit well, not too tight at all and was very nice and shapely :)

I promised myself that when I reached goal that I would buy myself a tanning booth. Well, that doesn't seem so important anymore. I am just so happy with the weight loss that I feel I have been rewarded. (I still might get the bed....I hate to break a promise LOL).

Go for the outfits!!!!!!!! Even though I am so happy I still have done the rewards thing. I did permanent eyeliner and eyelash extensions last month and my final reward will be a Tummy Tuck if it is needed.

Hey Apples, The lady at my vet's office had the eye lashes done. Do you wear mascara on them? She didn't. I love the way they look.

I will def need a Tummy Tuck. My highest size is 18 and its all in my lower gut. HATE IT.

Nope...no mascara on the lashes. I had the eyeliner just put at the very rim of upper and lower. Didn't want too much. Turned out to be just what I wanted. I feel so free not having to wear liner or mascara.:party:

I had lots of mini-goal rewards. For every 10lbs, I treated myself to some books (reading is my thing). When I reach goal, an entire new wardrobe...until then, I am replacing articles but with cheap ones (I can't afford to spend a fortune on clothing only to wear them for 1 month).

You know, I've been thiking about permanent make-up. I dont wear make-up now because I really hate putting it on and it makes my skin oily, but I look really pretty with make-up, so I'll have to consider this :)

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
