What kind of increments are you setting goals for rewards?



Recommended Posts

I do every ten, it makes it seem like the weight drops a lot faster.

I don't base mine on specific numbers on the scale. I have been rewarding myself based on when I am physically able to do things. I rewarded myself with a massage this week. It was the first massage I have had in years. I hope to continue to get one at least once every one or two months for now.

My increments are/were:

Under 300

50# lost

1/2 way to goal

100# lost

Goal

I haven't done much my way if rewards so far (met the first two). I do want to do something for the last 3, just not sure what.

At goal I thought about getting a new iPad, or the Apple watch; but I barely use my iPad now. Wondering what the watch price will be by the time I get to goal....

I'll probably get jewelry for the other goals, love me some sparkle!

In the fist 40 or so, I made pacts with myself actually, more than rewards. Like, I had not been in a bathing suit in 18 years so, after the first 20, I got a suit. Then pounds later I went tubing for the first time, then I wore a sleeveless dress to a big event , last month I got my ears pierced after 20 years of them being closed up I wore shorts and a sleeveless shirt to Disney for the first time ever and went to a Water park. It's been more about pushing myself to experience things than getting stuff. I have been really surprised at how much I have done in just five months that I have put off for so many years. It's been a real experience!

Very nice topic.

Something fun to think about.

Going to kick this around in my head a bit and see what shakes loose.

I have to admit there were two pieces of limited edition Blenko glass I wanted so I allowed myself to spend the money as a birthday/10o pound loss reward. I am good at rationalizing things like that!

Pre surgery I thought I'd be celebrating every 10 lbs or so, but since having surgery I haven't at all!

Ive been thinking that I'd like to do something to mark my 100 lbs lost but have no idea what! Would love some suggestions :)

I have set some "stuff" rewards and some event rewards. My 100# reward is scuba lessons which is something I have always wanted to do.

The ideas are running through my head. Massage, spa day, a new expensive purse, a tropical vacation for meeting goal.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
