Does anyone out there reward yourself with gifts for weight loss. If so what do you use. I always do better if there is some incentive. So I have decided that I will gift myself with a Pandora Braclet for the weight loss. One charm for each 20 lbs. That way i can wear it all the time and remind myself the journey i am going to be on.

That's a great idea! I am all for rewarding....except when it comes to food treats. I learned first hand that it's not a good idea to reward yourself with food for meeting a mini goal.

I like your idea. I used to sometimes treat myself to spa days, a new outfit, etc.....things like that.

im going to put 5 dollars in a container for every lb. lost and when i get to my goal im going shopping for some new clothes right now im buying used clothes so i wont b out of alot of money.

I go shopping for new clothes, but only stuff on sale, as I won't be wearing it for long (hopefully). Each 20 pounds I lose is about 1 size, so every couple of months I pick up new jeans and tops. It is nice going to regular stores again and going through the sale racks. I like the charm idea...that is a great way to remind yourself of what you are doing.

Great ideas! I like the charm idea too. To wear a constant reminder daily about keeping health and ourself first.

The five dollars is a great idea too. I figure I can always play with or rub the charms if i need to controll my desire to eat. Sorta like the rubberband on the wrist idea for stop smoking.

I did the Chamilia bracelet which is similar to pandora. Each of the big beads is 10 pounds and there are 7 on there. I wear it and am reminded of what i have done and what I continue to do. I think the rewards are very important because we are trying to change our behavior.

I have also see a cute set of two decorated glass jars labelled "lost pounds" and "pounds to go" with beautful colored beads of glass in them that you transfer over. It was a really cute craft project..I think its important to have a reward or rewards that will last forever.

I bought myself a road bike to reward my 200lbs lost
