    I'm with arditarose - I reward myself as frequently as I feel like and if it's with food then it's part of my weekly intake. As far as buying new clothes I have to do that every 10lbs anyway! :D

    I have rewards set up for every 25 pounds that I lose, heart rate monitor, t-shirts, clothes for major events like my b-day or college homecoming. My big reward is a stripper pole for when I hit my 100 pound goal (hopefully in the fall). If you want to reward yourself with a new wardrobe then I say have at it. That's not something the I've considered only because I buy clothes as needed, luckily my friends and family also help when they get tired of seeing me walk around like a hobo with baggy pants. Lol!

    I would like one really nice outfit. BUT,..I'm incredibly picky. So I don't know if I'll be able to find anything special enough for the occasion. That's usually what happens. I want something specific and can't find it.. so I get nothing.

    I will never be done, so I reward myself periodically. This year I got a used treadmill. My reward for using it every morning before work, instead of hanging clothes on it, will be a fancier, brand NEW treadmill next year.

    I'm doing mini rewards for each like 10lbs or so. Getting my eyebrows done (silly but they need to be like professionally done.) Buying myself a new glass water bottle I've wanted for a while. Buying a ring I want. Etc.

    However once I get to my goal I'm going to get my hair done. I want it pixie cut and dyed blonde. So we'll see.

    My "reward" is a healthier and sleeker me - for LIFE! Losing weight is only phase 1 - phase 2 is lifetime weight maintenance. But yes ... I think the idea of a tattoo is pretty groovy.

    Not trying to sound pious but I never thought about an end. I just want to be fit again really bad. My goal is to fit in my dress blues again so my wife seeing me in those will be my reward.

    I've had multiple abdominal surgeries which have completely destroyed my abdominal muscles and I've lost about 130 pounds so I plan on getting a tummy tuck and boobie lift.

    1. I'm never "done". I'm always going to be maintaining, or setting new fitness goals for myself. This is lifelong for me -- it's not about an end date. Thinking you're done is the quickest route to regaining, IMHO.

    2. My reward is getting to hopefully lead a longer and healthier life.

    Having said that, I will buy some clothes, not as a reward, but because my old ones don't fit anymore and I need to wear stuff.

    God, I don't know. I should set up some kind of reward system because that's always been a great motivator for me, but right now and even reading all these great ideas...I'm scratching my head! Haha. Great thread idea!

    I've got something planned out for each 10 pound increments I lose. The first is a nice haircut and color! I'm two pounds away! The next will probably be a nice new bra because I'm sure I'll need it anyways! I agree is makes it fun! Losing the weight and being healthier in itself is so rewarding, but the extras turn it into kind of a game for me. It helps motivate me on the days I look in the mirror and hate what I see.

    definitely a new wardrobe will be in order but I think I will also need skin removal surgery when I finally get to my goal so I need to save money for that I don't think my insurance will cover it.

    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!

    No judgment here. I'm a Filot o Fish fan myself.

    Aside from a wardrobe that will contain at least one 1950s style dress (that I just don't feel I can pull off right now), I'm chopping off my hair into a super cute pixie cut and getting contacts :) I guess I'll see if all of those "you have such a pretty face" comments are right, lol.

    When I lose 100lbs, I'm 23lbs from that goal. I'm going for a Hot Air Balloon ride. So far I've only bought one pair of jeans. But with the 23lbs lost I think I'll have to purchase some new clothes. My 25th wedding anniversary is in September and my goal is to be at 155. I would love to go white water rafting down the Grand Canyon, but my husband doesn't do water very well. So, I'm still trying to decide. I'll have one final goal of 130 - 115 not sure it's been too long since I've been there. I'd love to take a trip across USA in an RV to see the USA.
