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.

My friends came over last weekend and dropped more rewards into my basket. lol I didnt ask for those. Wow I love my friends they get a little carried away at times.

It sounds like you have such a wonderful support group! You are so blessed!

Yes I have a great group. Here and in real life. You all are wonderful!

When I get to goal I am having a piece of custom jewelry made. The necklace pendant will be in an "O" shape to symbolize the band and made of white gold. It will also symbolize the fact that this is an eternal battle and one that will not stop. On one side will be engraved my old size and weight and on the new side will be my goal size and weight. The "new me" side will be accented with a sapphire (my birthstone) to symbolize my re-birth. It will probably cost a pretty penny, but I can't wait to wear it around my skinny little neck!!!!

I am going to state the obvious here...........why are you guys spending money on jewellry when you are gonna need this money for a fab new wardrobe.

My reward is that I get to buy one new pair of pants and one new top whenever I get down a size. My lower half is shrinking faster than the top, so I dont buy them at the same time

Personally... the only reward I need is looking and feeling better. Eventually I will 'reward' myself with some new work uniforms. Lol. My scrubs are falling off of me.

I'm spending the money on jewelry because I have to buy clothes that fit. I don't have to buy jewelry.

I'm all about the pampering - massages and pedicures and such.

Also, NEW UNDERWEAR! That is always such a treat and something we don't do often enough. :redface:

For me it is because I am not losing weight very quickly. But because one of my goals is to go to the gym 10 times in 2 weeks I can control that. So I reward myself for that.
