Suggestions!
I am plotting out my weight loss goals, and I respond very well to a reward based system. So far I know, for every 10 lbs lost, I will get a pedicure, I want to figure out a 20lb, 40lb 60lb, and 80lb reward.
I am thinking spa like treatments most likely. I have wanted a derma-peel since I quit smoking, maybe a massage, maybe a make up make over,,, I am looking to spend maybe $100 or less, except on final...ideas?

    Registering for a 5k fun run and unlocking the missions on Zombies Run for me. I decided to give big awards every 50 and spend more on them, then little goals every 25 that cost less. My big goals are a bicycle and a tattoo. I'd talk to your local spa if that's what you like the most, and see what their options are!

    I like clothes. At first I stuck with shoes and scarves but now that I'm getting close to my goal, I can buy new tops and jeans.

    I'm going shopping AGAIN!! I love new clothes but this is becoming a problem (not really, any new clothes is fun, motivating, and a reason to clean out the closet ;) )

    I'm buying myself some new shoes when I fit back into my old clothes.

    Though a spa treatment sounds pretty sweet....

    Being able to look at myself naked, is reward enough for me.

    When I hit my final goal and transitioned into maintenance I bought my first ever two piece swim suit and I rocked it :p

    Excellent! Enjoy!

    I treat myself often enough so I didn't think of gifting myself for a certain amount of pounds lost. Great idea, though. :)

    I'd take a facial....but then, I never miss mine every 4-6 weeks, depending on stree and travel. I think they make a huge difference. I'm 50, for reference. Congrats!

    I promised myself that if I stayed under my calories every day in May, that I would buy myself a new artist's easel.

    Yes, I love rewards! I set up goals and rewards for a year. Goals are quarterly, started February 1st. Just finished the first quarter and hit my target. First quarter reward is beauty day (pedicure, hair cut and styled, eyebrows waxed). 2nd quarter: new work wardrobe, 3rd quarter: new workout gear and running shoes, 4th quarter: (contingent on hitting every quarterly goal) hot tub!!
