I'm a believer in rewards. I am close to meeting my first goal of 50 pounds lost (only 5 pounds away!) so I'm starting to think of something I can do to reward myself. So I was curious what you guys have done once you have met a specific goal. Buy yourself a new outfit, electronic? Eat something yummy? I've been thinking of a slice of pizza but not sure how good of an idea that is lol. Also, what were your goals? I know mine are (at the moment) 50 pounds lost, under 200 pounds, 100 pounds lost, then goal weight! Although exciting, this is also very difficult, and we should always remember to reward ourselves!

Don't do the PIZZA!

Not a good idea to use food as a Reward..

That has been the one habit I struggle to break.. Oh I ate good today so I can have just one cookie - or whew rough day a bowl of icecream would be great.

How about a nice spa visit - pedicure would be a great way to enjoy the new you.

New purse or shoes are always nice too.

Congrats on reaching your goals... Celebrate the "New" You!

Oh I would never think to reward myself with food on a daily basis! I have been extremely, extremely strict with my diet. Have not had anything sweet or above 300 calories since November 11th. I was kidding about the pizza lol. Thanks for your ideas!

I bought myself a road bike and now cycle outdoors instead of indoors on my exercise bike .. i needed lots of new clothes anyways so i didnt count a new wardrobe as a reward

Smaller clothing !!! Sizes 10 and 12----a never before for me. And I m wearing Jeans.! Tucking blouses in..!

Yep Jeans - never really wore them before, now I wear them whenever I can.

Collect Pandora/Lovelinks/Troll beads. 1 for each 5lb or 10lb (or whatever amount you set as a small goal) lost. And then an extra special 1 when you get to goal

Mine are:

20lbs- Get my nails done

30lbs- Perfume I want

50lbs- Family pictures

75lbs- Michael Kors bag

100lbs- New clothes

I was told by the psychologist to make this list and have goals not to far apart.

When I reach my goal of 140 I am buying me some cute True Religion jeans!

When I lose 50 pounds, I'm getting my hair done and colored.

I'll have rewards every 50 pounds I lose, but they'll be based on what I need/want then.

at my 50 pound loss I went Gwen Stefani platinum blonde and I LOVED it! I'm not considering new clothes as a reward until I get to my goal weight and can buy some designer stuff. For now, I just try to stay as cheap as possible with clothes-I only buy clearance rack stuff, and only when I absolutely NEED something-like when my jeans literally fall off me when I walk!

I started a running program in November, with the goal that I would get me some kick-a$$ running shoes if I was able to stick with the program for 3 months...I just got my awesome brand new Nikes today!

Here are the other rewards I have planned:

onederland=a new purse-either a Dooney Bourke or Coach

100 lbs=some expensive new shoes

Goal weight=True Religion Jeans

I award myself with Pandora charms. When I had the surgery, my husband bought me the bracelet. And my mom bought me the first charm. Now I add a charm whenever I lose 20 lbs. When i wear it, I feel a sense of accomplishment.

Achieving your weight loss goal should be a reward in itself however I rewarded myself with a day at the spa. I had a pedicure, and a message. Nothing like pampering yourself for accomplishing each goal. Keep up the good work!!!

I was soooo nervous about surgery, I rewarded myself for going through with it with a Marc Jacobs bag I wanted. I will continue to reward myself along the way, it is such great motivation!

Being the new me is the best reward one can have. Getting dressed in the morning and looking into the mirror, I am rewarded all the time, every day!!

New clothes were a neccessity. Even my feet got smaller.

My energy level has quadrupled! My Health! My self esteeem! Socail Behaviour!

I'm 60 years old and I feel like I'm 35!

And this will go on everydfay for the rest of my life!!

What can I possibly do that would be a better reward than that?

I am such a list maker, plus I believe in setting tangible goals and giving rewards...
