Ways to celebrate weight loss?

  • Popular Post

Hey out there! I had my surgery on May 27th and at my 2 week appointment last week I had lost 10 pounds. I got on my scale today and I lost 20 pounds since last week! This brings my total weight loss on this journey to 90 pounds! I want to start celebrating milestones. Have any of you done this or do you have any ideas?

Thanks!

90 pounds?! That's fantastic! You'll definitely need to Celebrate the 100 pound loss you're so close to. What about doing something that you couldn't have done before? For me, I think I'd like to try a zip line, or take a river rafting trip, or jump on a trampoline, or go horse back riding. Maybe even sky diving. Eek!

Thanks! Yeah I was thinking of doing something I couldn't do before but I'm still pretty heavy. I started at 545 so right now I'm at 455! I still can't do much but I'd like to do something! I'd also love to do something like ziplining, trampoline, skydiving, zorbing, parasailing, hang gliding but I still have a ways to go!

I bought a fabulous new purse when I dropped below 200 pounds.

I am a purse addict haha I have a 6 foot bookcase filled with purses and more in boxes and on hooks haha

Zorbing? That's one I have to google right now. Maybe it needs to be added to my list too. You're off to such a great start that I'm sure you'll continue to do great! Keep all those adventurous activities in mind for future rewards.

I think zorbing looks awesome! My sister did it in New Zealand. I will definitely start doing my more adventurous activities as soon as I am able!

I agree! I have seen that before, but never knew what it was called. I'll add that to my list too. If bucket lists are all the things you want to do before you kick the bucket, I wonder what I should call my list of things I want to do after significant weight loss.

I did little things to reward myself along the way, a new wardrobe (this was more out necessity than anything), tummy tuck (when I reached and maintained my goal for 18 months), boudior pictures (at 2 years post op), and most recently I rewarded myself with the honeymoon my hubby and I never had! I put it off for 18 years because I didn't want to go when I was nearly 300 pounds. So to Celebrate 3 years post op at or below goal, we went to Mexico (lots of fun pics in my blog linked in my siggy). So, my rewards ranged from clothes to a trip, but I would just think about the things you've always wanted to do but didn't because of your weight and start there.

I make appointments for massages when I hit periodic milestones.

I love glass, so I have bought myself some nice art glass pieces at some of my big milestones.

Massages and mani/pedis are my standard rewards.

My wife and I are planning a vacation for when we've both hit our goal weight.

I just realized that I'm 50lbs down today. I've never lost so much weight.

I am going to take horseback riding lessons when I hit my first goal of 60 pounds. Congratulations on your 90lbs, that's something to be very proud of!
