My husband and i were talking yesturday and he said that i should do a reward program for my self. For every so many lbs that i lose i reward my self with something. Like every 20lbs or what ever i set up for my self. And he said that it should be something good not something i would buy anyway even if i didn't loose the weight, something i normally wouldn't do. Like that pricey purse i didn't want to spend the money on or go to the spa for the day. Things like that. Do you think this is a good idea? I would love to hear what you would reward yourself with and how often.

Well, how about a facial or massage? The absolute cutest outfit that fits when you have an event come up. A pretty piece of jewelry at 50 pounds gone to remind you always of how good you felt the day the scale reflected that. Fresh flowers.

I thinks it's a great idea. I personally have found that I have more cash around the house now that I'm not buying junk to eat. I think I may adopt your husband's idea. But if it's gonna be an expensive item the goal has to be a biggy.

I would get a new outfit every so far down. A manicure or pedicure, or maybe a change in your hair is also great.

I spoil myself fairly regularly. But I have "big" bonuses like when I get below 300 we are going to Vegas for a few days. When I get to 250 we are going to see my Beloved Mickey Mouse. So Travel is what I'm after...but only when I'm smaller and can enjoy it

I'm going to add beads to my Pandora bracelet as rewards after every 25 pounds.

This is an awesome idea! My DH came up with a similar system. For every 25lbs I lose I will be rewarded with a gold charm for my charm braclet.:scared2:

I have bought a 6ctw. green amethyst ring ... that is gorgeous. I have had "100lbs!" engraved inside the band. I have not worn it yet and I asked my husband to hide it until I come out of the bathroom one morning doing the 100 dance. I am getting close to wearing that ring. As of this morning I am down 99lbs!

It is funny. I use to go out to eat as an award... that doesn't work any more. So buying a new size now and then if really fun!

I love the idea of buying new clothes. I have been stopping myself from doing that as I keep thinking what a waste it will be if it doesn't fit in two months. BUT why not enjoy the journey! Isn't it fantastic and fun to try stuff on and realize it fits! For the biggies I like the idea of jewelry. I might buy myself something nice when I hit 50 pounds and then something really nice when I get to goal.
