How do you reward yourself for milestones?

Right now I see nothing but my goals. I know this will eventually slow down as weeks and months pass, so my plan is too keep myself determined by setting rewards for myself for every milestone I hit.

I am 4 days post-op now and down 10 lbs already, in another 10 lbs I will officially drop a size and I plan on clearing out my closet of everything that doesn't fit me and treat myself to 1 new item.

After a following 10 lbs I plan on changing my hair color, and so on...

What have you rewarded yourself ith for reaching your milestones?

    One of my favorite rewards is a massage. I just got one yesterday (2 Celebrate 200 pounds lost from my highest weight). It was heavenly. I hope to schedule one every 25 pounds lost.

  • I rewarded myself with new clothes at 65 lbs lost and I'll reward myself with a tummy tuck at 100 lbs lost. (My insurance covers a good portion of it.) That's about all! I'm at 70 lost right now!

    I am still preop right now but I plan on making a list of things I enjoy (non food related) to reward myself. Maybe like shopping, a massage, take a trip, etc... Sent from my XT1080 using the Bariat

Good luck :) Please keep me updated with your list! My list is very short in comparison to the long Journey I plan on making :D I am looking forward to air yoga but that happens about 50 pounds from now :D Right now I would literally tear down the wall

Mani / Pedi's were always my 'go to' reward and still are. I always feel so pampered when I am done. I know others that love a message too.

Well my only reward so far is to buy new wardrobe in July or whenever my weight seems to have stabilized (my surgery was Feb 10th)... well but also I am ordering Russell Stover sugar free Dark Chocolates today for weekly treats....!!! I gotta tell you all, this is a blast so far, what a riot!! Having fun, feeling great, losing weight like crazy

PS- the only odd thing is that at my 3 week follow up yesterday, they said I could go back to full workouts, weights, squats, everything... that surprised me

I love shopping and I've found rewards are kind of built in because my clothes keep getting too big. I have some items I'm not willing to pay for now, but will invest in after I reach goal so those will be rewards. I'm also hoping to talk my dad into a trip to Orlando to go to Islands of Adventure and the Magic Kingdom.

In the mean time, I'm thinking about rewarding myself with a bike and/or learn-to-row classes this summer.

Mani pedis for small mile stones. Larger milestones, I ordered a pair of boots for 50 and a new satchel for work at 75. I still need to decide what my 100 treat will be.

So far I've rewarded myself by having a more intense workout. Lol. (I know, I'm weird) I get such a rush by seeing the smaller numbers and it gives me motivation to put an extra 15 minutes in at the gym. I also use this when I "slip" and need to remind myself to get back on track.

For each 25lbs, I buy a piece of jewelry. Either a ring, a bracelet for my new smaller wrist, a necklace or something that costs the amount I lost so for 25lbs I bought a $25 ring and for 50lbs I bought a $50 ring etc. the day I reach my personal goal of 170lbs, will mean I can buy something $269 [emoji4]

Oh those are cool ideas, the each 20 lbs thing, I like that!! I'm waiting to realy get nice new clothes. until goal weight it's Goodwill for me. But when I do it'll be tailored stuff (yahoo!), I'll be saving up. For now it's these little sugar free dark chocolates after weigh in day on wednesdays.

I have hit 30 pounds finally! And in less than a month too! An to reward myself I am now on a hiking trip :D

I might consider a neck lift once I'm at goal weight and I've really exercised for a good

half year. My neck is a real gobbler

.... ugh, but that's life. Still vain in my sixties, I admit it. I would never have thought of that

until I saw that they can be as cheap as 4 or 5 thousand bucks... hm,mmmmn

My husband and grandparents (we are super close and they're like my parents) are going on a trip when I hit final goal. We were going to go to Europe somewhere, but I think I'll lose all my weight before the unsettled tension stops :/
