Did you give yourself a make-over when you got to goal?

I finally got Invisalign done but that's pretty much it (never made it to goal though... 5 lbs away).

Heh. No. Kinda not where my interests lie, personally.

But if you feel like you'd like the results, or it would feel like a nice reward for meeting your weight goals, I'd absolutely encourage you.

Nope, it's not really my thing. I have bought different styles of clothing though that flatter my changed figure more. And I changed up my skincare and makeup routine also, but that's more related to aging and taking care of myself than weight loss. I do think it's all tied in with body image though

I'm for whatever makes a person feel good about themselves, even if that means drastic makeovers. But for me, meh, I have always had a similar style and I do change up my hair often (short, long, different shades) but I kind of like my geeky bespectacled self.

Bought new 'fancier' workout clothes & a new pair of sneakers. More out of necessity than a reward though, ha! Not really into hair, makeup, nails etc. Happy for others to celebrate however they like though!

Not really. I did buy all new clothes, but that was out of necessity.

I had to buy a whole new wardrobe, out of necessity too. As I went down the scale, I would go to the thrift store and buy something a little bit tight and in a week or two that item would fit or be loose, and I did that over and over till I hit my goal. Now I maintain.

I would have if there was a reason to. I have short hair, work from home and rarely wear make up, and so on. So I never saw the point. Not sure what they would make-over!

I'm ten pounds from goal and have booked a tummy tuck for December. I felt really self conscious about it at first but everyone I know has been very encouraging and now I figure I earned it.

Even at my heaviest I always took pride in my appearance so I really didn't plan a makeover.

However the more weight I lost I started growing my nails and hair out, played with makeup a little more, took more of an interested in skin care and slowing down the aging process. I also invested in a new wardrobe and started wearing more brighter colors.

No, but I bought a new bike.

Losing 60 lbs WAS a makeover!
I didn't need a haircut or new eyeliner to tell me I looked and felt better

Kristi26

Not really, no, but I did make myself a bunch of new clothes that I love including unicorn leggings. But if it would make you happy, go for it!

Sorta. Guys don't exactly do "makeovers" but I made myself over as I went. After I lost the first 25 lbs, I bought a new suit. Game changer.

After I lost about 25 more I found Harry the tailor. Also now I was at the gym. I went from dressing like an unmade bed to the best dressed guy in my office. Me, the office clothes horse. Un believable.

I kept it up all the way to 100+lb loss. Odd. But after I got goal I started shopping at Marshall's. I looked good on anything.

Taking pride in my appearance helped change my life. Glad I didn't wait for goal.

Hmmm. You're making me realize I could've bought a weight-loss reward boat. How did I not think of that?!??!

Kind of-
I did my hair in a trendy new style and coloured it- basic Snow White, strawberry pink, lilac mauve, and magenta, at different times.

Took in all the clothes I loved, and bought new form fitting dresses.

Got a bikini for the first time in 40 years, then got a whole load of them I found them so useful.

I have always worn mascara and lipstick so I found waterproof so I wouldn't feel naked at the gym or in the pool.

I honestly never thought I would have the body I have at my age, in both strength and looks, so I am going to rock it while I can.

Vain, I know, h.

Fitness wear has been deplaned as I needed it over the years.

Does it match your shoes?

caramel827

Kind of. During the entire journey I always did little things. Halfway there I cut and colored my hair. Of course new clothes because it was needed. I did also get contacts and bought a little make up (I used to wear none). So I guess you could say I did an evolving makeover and it continues to evolve lol.

That's probably about two years away for me. But I am probably going to have a couple makeovers by then.

kristikitter

I've promised myself (read: saving up for) a rhinoplasty! Unfortunately weight loss does not shrink the schnozz :P

I think I am about a year away from goal at the current rate of loss.

gothomson

No, not unless you count getting clothes altered, or buying new clothes as the ones I had were way too big :-) But I don't knock it! If that's a way someone rewards themselves for achieving something really important go for it! You deserve it!

Keapix

Yes! I've had to start again with clothes, so I'm taking the time to build a new capsule wardrobe, and really figure out what my 'style' is. I've had years of wearing clothes that were just meh, and I didn't love anything I had.

nowine4me

I agree that the weight loss IS the makeover. I reward myself by continuing to upgrade my garage gym and by buying a new pair of Hokas every 6 months. My skin, hair, eyes and nails all look better naturally just from eating so much better.

cnbbnc

In a sense...I guess I did although it wasn't a reward after losing the weight. I just started feeling better about myself, so now I get my hair cut/highlighted regularly. New clothes is a given because nothing fit anymore, but I buy nicer things now.

I'd really love to make myself over and buy some new boobs since they went away with the weight loss, but...we'll see.
