    I reward myself along the way too. Clothes and new exercise equipment.

    A tattoo for me, as well! I'm getting a thigh piece I've wanted for over a year but was just insecure about. Its hard putting it off now, because I've lost 15 pounds (still got 15ish to go) and my legs look soooooo awesome, but I will wait until I reach my goal :)

    That's great! Good job at being so close to your goal!

    A bikini from Victoria's Secret! B)

    I would love to have one of those too! I have a beach vacation that I'm hoping to have lost at least half the weight I need too by the time I go on it. Hopefully I will get to go bathing suit shopping.

    If I get to 110 by July 4th my boyfriend will buy me a car!

    Your boyfriend sounds amazing! I so hope you do. 110 will feel doubly amazing cruising in a shiny new car.

    Flying lessons.

    That sounds like a pretty amazing experience to me. Hopefully those flying lessons will be just around the corner.

    I have an unfinished 3/4 sleeve tattoo that I'm going to finish when I get to my goal weight. I also reward myself with cheat meals every Sunday.

    Tattoos are so addicting and I think they make an awesome way to signify an accomplishment and to be a reminder.

    My goal is a long way off so I don't have any plans. However, I believe in rewarding my efforts along the way. Every month I have a "me" day. Usually a Saturday at the end of the month I'll do a home workout or a spin class, then go to my karate class. I come home, shower, and then go out for a pedicure. Then I'll go shopping or to a movie. Next MeDay I plan to do a marathon of something good out of my dvd collection and order Chinese food.

    I reward myself along the way too. First I bought what I call my 'sexy pant'- skinny type pants that I never thought I could ever wear without looking like a snow cone. Then I bought some designer sun glasses. For my ultimate goal weight reward my partner's buying me an outfit and I'm buying pricey Hunter rainboots in a diva color! Yay!!

    My dh asked me what I wanted when I get to my goal. I said maybe a family portrait. I've avoided photos of me for a number of years and dd is a teenager now so in a few years we won't all be together like we are now.

    One of my goals was to be more active, and I hadn't had a vacation in forever, so my planned reward (which I just completed a week ago) was a biking vacation in Hawaii. I figured I wouldn't want to go to Hawaii until I wasn't embarrassed to be in a bathing suit and wouldn't want to go on a biking trip until I was in pretty good shape, so made it my 1 year goal. I'm technically 5 lbs from my 100-lbs-lost goal still, but close enough.

    Getting new clothes along the way has been my other big thing. I've bought aspiration jeans (3 sizes down at a time in a brand I knew worked--I'm now in the lowest I aspired to but contemplating trying to go down one more size) and otherwise bought a few new things when I hit milestones. Kind of wasteful in that the understanding was that lots of that stuff wouldn't fit for long, but I didn't buy super expensive things.

    My reward will be my health but I'm hoping fitting into my wedding dress.. if he asks.. will be an amazing reward as well.

    My motivation is actually knowing I will never be 'done'

    Sure I'm at or around the weight I originally aspired to .. but now I want to do pull-ups and I still have to beat my son at push-ups

    The whole way along I've been dropping dress sizes and ebay shopping to keep up, I'm only now starting to buy brand new clothes that I love

    My motivation is knowing I'm doing this for life .. that maintenance takes as much work, if not more, as dieting down

    I haven't decided what the ultimate reward will be, however, once I have lost 50 pounds I will get my hair done!

    I've done rewards along the way, about every 15 pounds: nights at B&B's, massage, new hair style, etc., but I think my ultimate reward will be a great trip. Always have loved to travel, but so much more fun without the added weight!

    I set up some mini-rewards for each 10 pounds I lose- a new CD, a new set of workout clothes (currently I wear old baggy t-shirts and such), etc. I can't decide what my goal-weight reward should be! I don't want to make it clothing because, as others have said, that will be a necessity when I've lost 50 pounds. I know I will need (and want!) new clothes, but I am on a budget and can't just splurge all at once even if it is necessary. So I decided I am saving all the gift cards I receive until then to put towards my new goal-weight wardrobe. I started my healthy lifestyle journey right after Christmas and my birthday was in February so I've already got a few to put towards the cause. I'm hoping to achieve my 50 pound goal by the end of this year so I may have some more gift cards by then! And I'll be looking for inspiration for what the actual reward will be (although I know my new body and accomplishing my goal will be quite satisfying themselves)!

    A very large chocolate milk shake with whip cream and a cherry on top. I'm serious. I miss my chocolate.

    Do not judge me, please, but after a week at my goal weight I am going into a McDonald's and having a damn Big Mac! I gave up this disgusting place years ago, but damn I dream about Big Macs once in a while. I really think I"d like one more for the road when I am at my goal weight! :) I reward myself in many other ways each week, so my BIG, final reward is kind of NOT a big deal.
