Oh sorry. How about a makeover at the makeup counter. That's little and I think they only make you buy one product. New workout clothes/sports bra. New iTunes. Jewelry. Charm Bracelet and get a new charm after every mini goal.

I'm all about new shoes and purses, mani/pedi, massages, limo wine tours, something personalized (I want a new briefcase) my big one is a trip to Maui for meeting goal. I have until Fall of 2013 to get my butt in gear. Oh, what about a girls weekend in Vegas???

I'm afraid that I am like SexySlim on this one. I very much believe in pampering myself' date=' so it is hard to think of routine treats that would be meaningful. I'm buying myself the classic Coach weekend duffle when I reach goal.[/quote']

My sister works for coach in Atlanta i would be in trouble if coach was a goal for me..love me some coach everything. But don't have me a overnight bag.

I agree with the mani/pedi, facial, etc. But the "gift" I give myself is time. I give myself time to sit and read for an hour while sipping on a Decaf hot tea (or iced tea). Today I gave myself the time to go to a movie. I've also taken a walk around Sprouts and Mother's Market to see what "new foods" I might be able to eat. I used to mediate and have started doing that again. Another low-cost reward I give myself is cleaning out a drawer or closet, trying on clothes that are too big and then enjoy putting them in a bag to donate. My husband and I walked to the park last weekend and had a picnic -- we haven't done this in many years. I download books on tape and spend time listening to them with other distractions. I have given myself "time" to play a game on the Internet. Sometimes I can only get a "20" minute "gift" but I am finding these gifts to be releiving my stress and sense of being anxious. Over the years I have spent so many hours trying to meet the needs/demands of others that I am now makng special efforts to tell myself I am proud of what I have achieved and then fully embrace the reward.

Enjoy the rewards everyone!

I have a Coach briefcase that I have had for years and it is the most wonderful bag I have ever had. That overnight bag is HUGE motivation. LOL.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
