Rejoined with 40lbs to lose - incentives?

Hi
I'm from North Shropshire in the UK.
Haven't used this app for a while but now on week 3 and lost 6lbs.
App has told me to be on 1200 calories a day, trying my best. Figure it will take me to April next year before I get to my goal. ☹
Wondered if to incentivise my weightloss with presents to myself, e.g. lose half a stone buy a new top!
Has anyone done something similar and found it helped?

I have done this. I get workout clothes or a massage. It can be motivating.0
