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 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! 😞
