Hello everyone,

I am 2 lbs from 50 lbs, and although the weight has come off so quickly, I feel as though I deserve a reward for hitting this milestone. In the past, I would have made my reward a dinner out with my husband. But, as much as I would like a night out with him, I want to stop rewarding (etc...) myself with food.

So what do you all reward yourselves with when you hit certain milestones? In theory, we should just intrinsically get enough by having just lost weight/exercised, etc.....but I'm not that kind of person...I want PRESENTS!!!

Please keep in mind that I have no cash to speak of...nor have I lost enough weight that buying new clothing is fun. A size 26 shirt is just not all that exciting...even if it used to be a 28/30.

Thanks!!! Looking forward to seeing how everyone rewards themselves.

Good question! How do others reward themselves. My family usually goes out to dinner also, but if it's going to be a reward for me than I'd like some ideas too.

Look forward to hearing everyones suggestions.......presents do sound good tho!

Oh......sorry I forgot.....CONGRATS on your 50. You go girl!!!!!

professional manicure, pedicure, or massage

new pair of earrings

bouquet of flowers

order from favorite decorating catalog

little overnite trip with hubby or significant other(well maybe after 100 lbs.)

Congratulations on your first milestone!!!

I got my hair cut, colored, highlighted, etc. for my last reward. But that was $220.00. I'm sure you could get in stages or a cheaper place.

Take a trip, most of the places we don't even consider going are within our own state. I live in AZ and have lived here for 22 years and I have yet to go to the Grand Canyon. :eek: Trips don't have to be expensive.

Next milestone is a "haunted weekend" with friends. We are going to go to hotels and such for a long weekend that are known to (supposedly) be haunted.

There are lots of things you can do. What do you want to do? We might be able to come up with an affordable way to do what you've already been wanting to do.
