I think these are great ideas! I too marked my 100 lb loss with a special purse, but when I finally made the decision to do this and got rolling on a date, I bought myself a Fitbit - SUCH a good reward!

I also do:

a magazine or trip to the bookstore

my favorite hand lotion (Burt's Bees Almond Milk Hand Creme - yes!)

a half day off to take a hike somewhere

a new backpack because my old one really didn't fit this skinnier new body

a Magic Bullet Blender was a great reward, and so much easier to clean than a big blender

A small travel scale for trips, just because i'm a little obsessive

quarterly massage to Celebrate my hard work, not about number of pounds though (I'm worth it, as @@gowalking says!

sessions with a personal trainer

new running shoes because not I do!

I'm sure I'll keep thinking of ones for the future, especially since these last 22 pounds are proving REALLY hard to lose!

I treat myself to better quality makeup, expensive perfume & kitchen gadgets to help me try new recipes.
