What are some things you plan on rewarding yourself with as you hit your weight-loss goals? (Or health/fitness goals, etc.)

I can only come up with a few:

-new leggings
-new Fitbit band (old one getting too big!)
-new workout shoes

Cute outfits

New hairstyle - makeover day

Spa Day

Plastic Surgery! LOL!!

Bath and Body Works -- they have so many amazing scents. Candles, wallflowers, car scents, lotions, hand soaps, body washes...

Yes! This was my biggest reward! I worked hard losing my excess weight, and picked up a ton of OT shifts to pay for it. It’s so worth every ache & pain from working out, every extra minute on the job, and every time I’ve made the healthy choice as to what I put in my mouth. Yay for big rewards!

Shopping!!!!!

I've had to buy new underwear twice in the last month. Now that I'm in a normal size, I'm buying pretty undies, with lace etc. vs. "granny panties"!

Hardly a week goes by before I find myself driving into the Ross or T.J. Max plaza!! ?

Thanks for all the ideas! I brainstormed with my husband last night and another good one he suggested was family photos! I love this because it’s something that has meaning and will last. Will probably save this for closer to goal weight.

I also use things that I want such as to try a new makeup or day trips as inspiration. Home decor, such as new bedding, painting a room, or wall hanging that I want and would usually just buy/do I set a goal and work on it.

+ 1

I'd add:

• vacation someplace hot where you can wear a bikini with your smaller bod (pending pandemic restrictions)
• new wedding ring/engagement ring (to fit your smaller fingers)...and if you don't have one to replace, just get one anyway! Or any other piece of sparkly thing
• tattoo (i've already decided that I'm going to get one once the parlours open up! mid-life crisis, anyone??? lol)
• hair extensions (to add fullness to your weight-loss related hair thinning)
• fancy new underwear/lingerie that you have no intention of actually wearing for very long LOLOLOLzzzz

I bought myself a snowboard. I haven't gone in about 10 years because my weight got too high. I can't wait to go again.

When I am down 100lb, I'm having a mini spa "day" (may be more than a day depending on when I can get appointments). An esthetician friend of mine said she would gift me a facial, waxing, and pedicure, and I also plan on getting a massage and a haircut.

My goal is 120lb down... I'm not sure what I'm going to do at goal yet.

31lb till -100... ?

I set mine in increments, so like reward at -50, then -75, -100.

Currently I’m -46 so come on -50!

My rewards list:

New hair day

New tattoo day

clothes shopping

And for my husband and I both (he only has 30lbs to lose of course lol) we want an exercise bike to add to our home gym.

Yep, a new hair day for sure, though I don't think I'm going to tie it to a specific weight-loss goal. It'll be more like, "I'm 2 months out, it's time for a haircut to hide the thinning!"

When I'm down 200 lbs, I'm gonna go to Thailand to get all the excess skin removed.

OH BUT THEN...

I'm taking a month long trip to Scotland, Ireland, and England to explore my ancestral roots...
also to find myself a super kind, intelligent, kilt wearing, whiskey drinking, log throwing, red beard (with streaks of gray) having, social justice oriented, two full sleeve tattoo having HUSBAND that laughs from the depths of his belly.

It's happening, people. It's. Happening.

Why Thailand ... is it cheaper there?

There are some good plastic/cosmetic surgeons in Thailand, a lot of have undertaken fellowships in USA, Australia and elsewhere. While cheaper in Thailand (when compared to Australia), over the last few years pre-covid, the price gap started closing, but definitely still worthwhile considering as long as due diligence is undertaken for surgeon/hospital.

As an example, price list from a medical tourism agent (prices in Thai Baht, AUD, NZ)

In the past I've taken trips when I've gotten to milestone weight losses. Of course, I take trips for any reason or no reason at all.

I'm so-so on spa stuff and no interest in tattoos, but I will definitely need new clothes when I've lost more weight, since I've gotten rid of all my smaller clothes from my last weight loss.

I don't know yet whether I'll need/want plastic surgery.

Part of me worries that I either won't get to goal weight or will just gain the weight back if I do get to goal weight.
