How do you ( or did) plan to celebrate or reward yourself?

When you finally reach your target weight loss goal? Or If you already did how did your reward yourself.

I thought about spending money on new wardrobe but changed my mind. So I'm planning a 1 week get-away beach vacation as a reward if I reach my goal by my birthday this summer. I can celebrate both my birthday and my weight loss.

I've not thought about the end goal, but I have one planned for my half-way there goal. Once I reach my half-way point (which is in only 9lbs from right now) I will not only be half-way through my journey, but also enter the "Overweight" BMI range (formerly Obese Class 2), lost 20% of my initial weight AND have hit One-derland. I plan to celebrate with a weekend (or longer) in Paris I'm really excited, I have this new blue coat that I am saving for that occasion. I really really hope that this will happen in April!

I did it backwards. I planned a ten day trip that required being in a bathing suit and then said, "Oops. Maybe I should lose some weight."

I lost nearly all of the weight in that next 8-9 months after paying for and before going on the trip. It was kinda hectic, because I had to buy all new clothes for the trip, too.

My husband has promised me a trip to Paris for when I hit my ultimate target weight. I love Paris We've had three wonderful trips there, just exploring the city.

Did I mention that I love Paris?

By feeling much better and being healthier. Looking better doesn't hurt either.

Planning a trip too. Either to Costa Rica or Peru.

I would have to say buying new clothes. Sales at my favorite stores, occasional Goodwill find, and ThredUp have been the way I have purchased most of them. Seldom paying full price. Living in a 4 season climate means having to purchase more for spring and summer - oh darn!

I've been rewarding myself with clothes for a while. I've lost 72lbs and am 8 lbs from my final goal. I've decided to get myself a nice piece of jewelry that I could wear and remember how far I have come.

@Madwife2009 would love to go to Paris. Actually looked into it a bit yesterday, but too expensive to fly there in the summer and with kids in school can only go in the summer. Sigh.

My reward for reaching the halfway point is a trip to Wyoming to see the solar eclipse this August. I reached this way faster than I thought I would so I have a long time to go before getting that reward.

My reward for reaching my final goal is a 2 week trip to Spain to see Madrid and Barcelona. If all goes according to plan I may reach that goal before getting to collect on my first reward.

I'm more than half way there & I love getting rid of my old clothes, mainly pants, underwear & I get pants at thrift store now cause I'm not planing for them to fit for too long

My reward is my son inviting me to climb the Grand Teton in Wyoming with him this summer, a bucket list item for the last 38 years, 35 of that being too heavy to even think of such an adventure. I'm 63 and have a lot to do to prepare, but I have no doubt that I will be ready by early summer. I have already lost the weight I needed to, now I'm just working on strength and stamina. @ABabilonia: Costa Rica or Peru also sounds nice!

When I hit my goal weight I plan on getting a boob job and tummy tuck.

I set a lot of mini goals and typically rewarded myself with new workout clothes (that actually fit!), new undies and bras and new running shoes. About every 10 lbs lost I would get something.

Full on clothing shopping spree and a family photo shoot

I'm rewarding myself this morning with a new outfit, but only because nothing fits me anymore. To be honest, losing the weight was reward enough in itself. I now look in the mirror and I don't hate the reflection. That's a nice reward.

I've been rewarding myself with new clothes out of necessity. I have to look presentable for work and too big clothes and a front desk don't mix well...

My long term reward (dependent on hitting goal weight and maintaining for 2 years) is eye surgery. My doctor actually suggested it to me when I went it to start the necessary preparations. He's worried that losing weight might impact my sight (my astigmatism has been changing since I've lost weight), so he'd rather wait until it's again stabilized - meaning in about 4 years...

A sexy side tatt!

losing all this weight is reward enough for me. But i am shopping more now than before.

I bought a groupon for a massage. It expires in about 160 days. Not sure of my goal...

I got there just before Christmas in 2015. So I stopped logging.

A month later, I celebrated by starting to ride the long distance rides I used to do before I gained the weight. That ride was 200 km.

And then a couple weeks after that, I celebrated by cycling up Mt Wellington!

A trip with my hubby! Somewhere warm so I can hopefully wear a bikini for the first time ever!
