    Buying the next size DOWN pair of pants is the greatest gift I can give myself.

    I have goals for my loss.
    When I reach 250lbs, I want to buy a bike to ride
    At 199lbs I want to buy a cute sundress!
    At 170lbs go to Six Flags and ride roller coasters all day long without worrying about the safety items fitting!

    There are some rather expensive sundresses I want and I refuse to buy them until i'm closer to my goal weight.

    % lost = #lost = weight = date = reward
    10% = 06.6# = 199.4 = TBA = tweezers
    20% = 13.2# = 192.8 = TBA = pedicure
    30% = 19.8# = 186.2 = TBA = perfume
    40% = 26.4# = 179.6 = TBA = makeup
    50% = 33.0# = 173.0 = TBA = hairdryer
    60% = 39.6# = 166.4 = TBA = $40 GAP rewards
    70% = 46.2# = 159.8 = TBA = hair color
    80% = 52.8# = 153.2 = TBA = facial treatment
    90% = 59.4# = 146.6 = TBA = hot stone massage
    100% = 66.0# = 140.0 = TBA = vacation

    This is my set of rewards for 2014. I'm looking to reach 140 from my start point of 206.6. I decided to reward myself every 10% closer to my goal I get. Since that's 6.6 pounds between goals, it's basically one reward every month or so, which will keep me motivated and not feeling like my next milestone is super far away and unattainable. I tend to pick things I'd buy anyway, or that I will need (aka hairdryer), and make myself work for them a bit. For 60% and up, those are the more fun things that I can't afford to do all the time.

    Hope this helps for some ideas! Good luck on your progress :)

    I usually get myself new clothes when I reach goals or stay on track. My ultimate goal is a new tattoo on the side of my stomach, and hopefully that will be achieved by the summer!

    I usually re-invest it into new work-out gear - new sneakers, yoga pants, stuff like that..............it inspires me to keep going! And you don't have to spend a ton of $ - I'm short - 5'2" - found out this weekend that Target sells 'short' yoga pants - I got a pair - size SMALL!!! WOOT! They were worth the $39.00.

    BUT - new shoes are always nice too...................!

    I have a lot of 'old' skinny clothes that fit me now (again) - so I'm trying NOT to buy too much in the way of clothes.........

    Guilty here! I actually have a spread sheet writing down my progress and mini rewards for myself as soon as I hit the goals.

    SW: 180 lbs
    CW: 154 lbs
    GW: 130-135 lbs

    -10 lbs bought a training shoes that I can use for my zumba kinect (done)
    -15 lbs bought a wedge sneaker that I would like to use during 2014 summer season (done)
    -20 lbs I was planning to get my hair done like new hair color maybe but didn't push it through
    -35 lbs I'm planning to do a mini shopping but I'm holding off doing this coz I'm saving up for something else
    -45 lbs my initial plan is to get a nice LV purse but still need to do extra effort and save

    I bought myself a really nice elliptical when I hit 100lbs, other than that, it has mainly been just new work out clothes and shoes :) both I really love!

    Is it bad that all I want when I hit my next mini-goal is a slice of pizza? 190lbs just for a date with that doughy saucy goodness.

    I have 40 lbs to lose, for the first 20 lbs I plan to reward myself with a jewelry set of my daughters birthday stone, and the second 20 lbs will be a set of my sons birthstone. (I'm a sucker for jewelry and it will be a reminder that I am getting healthy for them!)

    I just joined MFP but the last time I was trying to lose weight years ago I would treat myself with a food I normally "wasn't allowed" (Pizza, Chicken Wings, Nachos) to eat whenever I accomplished a mini goal.

    I'm always looking for things as rewards that aren't food related - unless it's some kitchen gadget that I've been wanting. I tend not to do workout clothes or shoes, or even smaller sized clothes. Those things are nice, but I look at them as necessities.

    books
    motorcycle gear
    paper art book (I do paper craft)
    new Wii game

    When I reach my target weight I'm planning on having a boudoir photoshoot done :) I had one done when pregnant ( profile pic) and loved every second, for smaller goals inbetween I have a couple of weekends away planned with friends and another with my hubby and kids, so need to buy some nice shoes and a skinny dress!

    I just made it to the first of my weight loss gift goals, a bike!
    I will go out this weekend and start looking and comparing.
    This evening going to get me a helmet!
    Proud of myself in making this goal and look forward to my next goal at 225!
