Weightloss goals and rewarding your accomplishments?



Recommended Posts

As we embark on a new lifestyle, what kinds of goals has everyone put in place? How do you plan on celebrating the accomplishment of those goals?

I'm trying to come up with ways to reward myself when reaching my goals for 50 lbs, 75 lbs, 100 lbs, and total Weightloss goals reached.

I wanna hear from everyone! Lol. :-)

When I hit ONE-derland I got a tattoo.

Ziplining was one thing... I hit goal 2 months ago and I'm scheduled on Saturday for the zip tour!

Skydiving may be the next! I decided to shed an extra 10, so once that's off I'll be scheduling that jump!

I didn't really go mini-goals, just looking and feeling great and the new wardrobe was reward enough!

I rewarded myself with plastic surgery when I was within the 15% of goal that they reccomend you be before plastics. When I hit 137, which is 100 pounds, I would like to Celebrate, as well as when I hit 129, my final goal. I went skydiving when I was younger, however now I've thought about taking the class where you don't have to jump tandem. I also want to go kite surfing, which is something I never would have done when I was fat because I figured the instructor would laugh at me! Oh and I reward myself regularly with clothing, haha....it is SO much more fun to shop when you fit into most of the stuff you try on!

Great thread - I'm getting close to 'one-derland' and haven't decided on anything yet. It's a major important goal for me though, and I want to honor it somehow.

I'm not up for a tattoo (though many of them are really beautiful and meaningful, as Kathy's are) and I'm not a heights person, so skydiving, hot air balloon ride and hang gliding (big in my town) are all out. As some say above the new clothes thing is nice -- but kind of a necessity these days!

I'm thinking maybe a manicure, pedicure, AND a relaxing massage... total spa experience. :-)

Great ideas all - but I love the 'think big!' approach of nana27! I've done a pedi a couple times to reward myself with a non-food treat after losing a chunk of weight, and considered a new purse - a nice one - but then realize i don't need one and I actually like the one i'm using from two years ago. I get a massage about four times a year as my work practically demands it. SO - It might have to be a small piece of jewelry or a spa experience. A trip or cruise is still a bit out of reach financially unfortunately. I'll keep thinking and reading all of your great ideas. Thanks!

I should set some marks and rewards for reaching those goals. probably just buy clothes that fit. I am so pumped. I can't wait to get rid of all those large clothes!!!

At 25 lbs lost (my docs pre- surgery requirement), I plan on spoiling myself with a new purse. 6.5 lbs to go!!

Once I hit onderland, I plan to buy myself a road bike (i have a cross bike right now).

At goal I plan on plastics (depending what their requirements are), or sky diving with mother-in-law.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
