I posted this in my monthly group, but I want your help too please.

I am trying to figure out how to reward myself for goals met.

The only goals I could think of were:

every 25lbs lost

every 2 weeks I make it to the gym 5 times a week

For making these goals I am trying to find some good, not too expensive rewards that I can unwrap or open for myself.

(I am getting a basket together and my friends and I are going to buy a bunch of rewards and wrap them up with pretty bows.)

So far I have earrings, necklases, mani/pedi, movie passes, but I would love more ideas.

Please help me out.

If you can think of other things I can reward myself for. not too hard but not easy to attain.

I got my hair highlighted with a new cut at 50lbs. I got my makeup professionally done at 75lbs. At 100lbs I am getting my teeth whitened. Buying new clothes is always a great reward. Buying a new piece of exercise equipment or clothing is great too.

For losing the first 27 lbs I bought myself 2 5lb dumbells. I am almost at my excercise goal I have walked 5 days out of 6. so 5 more and I get another reward.

I love charm bracelets. but I never wear them and I am kinda picky on what charms I get. I love my moms but hers is so old and has so many charms on it.

Cerrin , check out the James Avery Craftsman Jewelry - Makers of quality sterling silver, gold & gemstone jewelry. Original designs & christian jewelry. charms they are REALLY nice . Each around $25 , i was checking them out last night again , we have a store here in austin and I have a bracelet already , all my silver jewlry is from them. I think im going to order the 50 charm for the 50 lbs lost a 7 5 for when i hit 75 and reward myself with a ring when i hit goal LOL

I like the charms they have. But it is confusing for me to figure out how big they are.

I really like the turtle. For slow and steady wins the race. lol

well go figure my battery in my camera is dead and cant find the charger.

Most of them are no taller than a dime . I have one that has an M with a heart around it and its about the size of a penny . Once i find the battery i'll take a pic and see if you can get a more accurate size of them .

I LOVE LOVE James Avery , I Only buy Silver from them

HTH

I really like their charms. I am kinda Cheap when it comes to jewlery. so most of the things I buy are not great quality but my DAD always buys great stuff for me. maybe I will send him a link to it.

I still cant find my battery charger. The best i can explain is that they are no larger than a penny "height and width " and some are around the size of a dime. They are not too large for a charm bracelet at all. All of them have a size in the descrpition .

HTH

The ones I have on the bracelet I have had for like 7 years the charms are TINY about the size of an asprin. not the huge ones but the old fashioned ones that were not coated.

Small.

No these are not that small, they are very well made , they dont get in the way at all either. And if you have a problem with them ( I have never ) But if you do they will fix them for a very small price.

I have a necklace from there i have had since i was 16 , about 2 yrs ago the chain broke, I took it in , i told them , " I have had this for quite some time over 10 yrs " they gave me a brand new chain for $12 new they are normally around $30 and up .

Mindy

WOW that is great! I have been looking thru their stuff. and it all looks so great I have picked a few I really like.

I totally love James Avery, STILL Looking for my camera charger LOL

I talked to the trainers at my gym and they kept trying to set me up for like 6 months of work outs.

I kept saying NO just ONE how much for ONE session. it was like pulling teeth from a shark.

So I am thinking I might look arround for an individual instead of a group.

Your looking for an individual personal trainer ? I used one the first 2 or 3 months after being banded. I really liked it. Its not cheap though . but my trainer had a deal where you could go w/ others she trained and make it cheaper for you for small group work outs ?

you might check into that ?

Mindy

That is a good idea.

I had a trainer for a month who got me going on the machines and I have been doing it on my own for a while now. But what I want as a bonus is ONE session so someone could update my training and possibly give me new excercises to do.
