I am crawling back on the the wagon after gaining back over half my weight. I was wanting to treat myself to something every 10 lbs. I was looking for a price range of $20 or less. Any ideas?

Clothing is always a good motivator especially females.
I lost 60 pounds this year and rewarded myself with a half sleeve tattoo. I believe I will continue that route once I hit goals.0 -
I've just gotten myself something fun and frivolous when I hit a mini goal. When I get down to 150, I'm going to get myself some Seattle Seahawks pajama pants that I saw.
Crackur, awesome job on those 60 pounds!0 -
Pedicure or massage. Or new shoes0

Unfortunately, the kinds of rewards I get for myself don't match your $20 or less criteria, but I'll post them anyway in case somebody else is looking for ideas.
Haircut/style
Massage
Laser hair removal
Microdermabrasion
Teeth whitening strips
When I hit my goal or I feel like I'm really in top shape, my Near-Ultimate Goal Body reward is to get a professional boudoir photoshoot done!0 -
Personally I love shoes. That's how I pretty much always reward myself0

I have gotten: an African violet, new purse, girl's night out to the movies and plan on getting a tattoo at 50lbs and 100lbs!0

Mini goals= clothing for me (I keep it inexpensive- goodwill, Kohl's Clearance rack, etc (I don't plan on being in this size long)
When I reach goal weight, I am rewarding myself with a tattoo.0 -
Goal weight = new motorcycle
talk about motivation.0 -
when i hit my ultimate goal weight i'll probably get a tattoo or a piercing, until then, clothes, lingerie, new running shoes or extra weight plates :happy:0

We reward here with new body wash and matching lotion from Bath and Body Works. It is a special treat since normally it is too expensive to shop there all the time. When she dropped a full clothing size we hit the end of the year clearance rack for my wife and got her a bunch of new swim pieces for $20.0

Some new workout clothes or a pedicure always work for me!0

I had a scale that weighed every tenth pound. Every time I lost a 1/10 of a pound, I put $1 in a jar. When I first lost 30 pounds, I had $300 and with some Christmas money bought myself an iPad.
This time around I am putting $1 in the jar every day that I workout at least 30 minutes. The jar is not filling up as fast, but it seems to be a better incentive to get up off my butt (my biggest challenge - not food - but activity). I don't know exactly what I will buy, but it will be something I wouldn't get myself without some sort of sacrafice.0 -
I liked getting a subscription to one of the Fitness magazines ... they can be motivational too and you get a new one each month. Some new songs to workout to ... a pedicure.
If rewards motivate, there are many small sites/apps that you can earn rewards with too. Given, many of the "rewards" are just discounts in disguise, but there are also charity options too which I feel good about giving - earned for doing workouts I would have done anyway. I highlighted a few of the ones out there on my blog

5) Socks0 -
I get pedicure's if I meet my goals. It can be inexpensive and we def put our feet though some work! :happy:0

I'm using a charm bracelet - down 10 lbs means adding another charm (lots to be had for under $20). I use a pic of the next charm I am working towards as the lock screen on my cell phone, so every time I use it I see what I am working towards. Also, since the charm bracelet is on my right hand, whenever I reach for something to eat/drink I have a visual reminder of the weight loss goals I have accomplished so far. This has been a great incentive to make better choices.0

I like this! I'd love to get a tablet of some type0 -
Pedicure or massage. Or new shoes
Love the pedi idea. Nothing like having cute toes when you jump in the shower after a workout. After all we beat our feet up so much when we work out.
In fact I look for Groupons for cheap pedicures. I have to stick with my same girl for the nails. But the pedicure I am willing to go to a new place to try it out. I just bought one for $32 that includes a mani and pedi. But it was from my regular nail tech.
If you like a certain brand of make up -- how about a new lipstick or gloss. I love MAC so I am setting a goal for Nov. and will be rewarding myself with a new holiday collection from them.
Also I recently bought myself a pinky ring from Pandora. I wear it as a reminder of where I am going. When it becomes to big...I am hoping it fits another finger.
Other ideas:
1. music
2. book or ebooks if you have an ereader (love my kindle)
3. candle
4. bath soaps
5. GC to your favorite store
6. Trip to Goodwill ( I find awesome clothes there)0
