    I've just twigged that baked lays are a brand of what we call crisps!!! My imagination went into overdrive with new sex toys followed by baked lays - thought you were smoking something first

    :laugh:

    OMG I thought it was just me, here in Aus we call them chips.... I had to give it a long hard think about before I realised what they were talking about!!

    When typing Baked Lays, my auto correct frequently changes it to Naked Lays....Bahhhaaa

    Wow... all these awesome rewards. I usually just go out for sushi for hitting my major goals. Though this year we are doing a trip to Disney for the family, my goal is to slim down enough where I am not embarrassed to take my shirt off in public. The reward will be the ultimate before and after pic. It was actually the picture from my last trip to Disney the motivated me to loose weight.

    I just wrote up our goals and rewards 2 days ago ;) Mine is:

    Goal 1: 99kg = Pair of roller skates
    Goal 2: 89kg = unknown
    Goal 3: 79kg = unknown
    Goal 4: 69kg = New wardrobe
    Goal weight: 65kg = Trip away up to $3000
    Goal 6: Strength = Ability to kick *kitten*!

    I haven't decided what the 2nd and 3rd will be yet. I would guess it being something sport related, depending on what new thing I'm into when I reach those goals.

    I used to reward myself with cupcakes lol, but now I don't know what to reward myself with. I think just being able to reach my goal is rewarding enough...hopefully I can reach my goal!

    New pretty underwear. Which typically are needed after weight loss.

    Victoria Secret has a deal where you can buy 6 pairs for 26 American Dollars. So I feel it is a reasonable reward and makes me feel better about me too.

    I *just* started working out again, but after I complete the 30 Day Shred program and I going to a running store and getting fitted for nice running shoes.

    I've rewarded myself with new running shoes. Fun 5k race entries. A heart rate monitor/watch. New workout clothes.

    Same here!

    New running shoes should not be a reward but a necessity. Good running shoes are the most important thing a runner will own. Its according to how many miles a week a person runs, but it is not unreasonable to have to buy 3 to 4 pairs a year.

    I think the only reward I am dead set on is a trip to Vegas for my 30th birthday, but I also gave myself plenty of time to lose the weight and keep it off....I'll be 30 in about 18 months!

    Happy B-day!

    I started out rewarding myself with fitness related items - athletic shoes/clothing, jump rope, basketball, etc. But I do pretty simple exercise so after awhile that was played out. I'll probably do it again soon though because I need some new sneakers!

    For getting to onederland (January) for the first time in over 20 years, I rewarded myself with all new makeup and a Lucite organizer to put it in. Some of the makeup was a bit pricier than I'd normally choose, so that made it more of a reward. I figured out that I honestly prefer some of my less expensive brands but it was still a fun "gift" to myself and every morning I use that organizer and see it out on my counter top so it continues to motivate me (as silly as that sounds).

    Last Fall I toyed with the idea of buying my husband and I tickets to an amusement park nearby, and ultimately didn't...that was going to be a reward for me being able to fit on all of the rides etc. But then it turned out great that I waited because I was born in 1976 and the park's doing a big promotion where anyone born or married that year gets free admission this year...AND my parents got an extra season pass and transferred it to my husband. Wednesday we're taking the day off and going there to ride roller coasters :-) I can't wait!

    New workout clothes...I do yoga so if my clothing isn't tight enough. I spend the class adjusting my shirt or pants the whole time..Very annoying!

    Cuter clothing or makeup to make me feel pretty after I shower off all my hard-earned sweat. ;)

    ooh I did this too, a little while ago! It wound up being an NSV for me as well, because I needed their M and L and expected to go for XL after many years of only wearing plus-sized panties!

    I was so thrilled, I didn't even mind that the sales girl at VS was my husband's ex girlfriend and with her being short and me in heels, she hugged me and her face was right in my boobs. LOL AWKWARD

    This post inspired me to make my own list especially since today all i have been wanting to do is eat junk food (I have resisted! yay!)
    10 lbs - Day of puppy in day care (freedom!)
    15 lbs - hire a house cleaning service
    20 lbs - charm for my pandora bracelet
    30 lbs - order a week of premade healthy meals so i don't have to cook
    40 lbs - theater tickets
    100 lbs from my heaviest - Vegas or other fun trip
    50 lbs - tattoo to remember how far I came
    60 lbs - expensive pretty swim suit
    goal - excess skin removal if I need it and or a $1000 shopping spree for new clothes

    New clothing and jewlery are my main rewards. I have a neckles that I bought after I lost 50 lbs from my first round with weight loss. It makes me remember how much work I put into loosing and how happy I was when I lost it. It helps to give me a boost for when I start going back to old bad habits.

    I was thinking about getting a tatoo when I hit my goal weight and stay there but I need to think about that one first. I was thinking the evil eye talisman between my shoulders that looks like it's been attached to my spine. And for those who don't know the history about the evil eye talisman it's basically a symbol that keeps evil thoughts of others from affecting you or cursing you.

    I generally aim to reward myself with things that I've wanted for quite a while, but never felt good enough spenind money on - but nothing that will break the bank, of course.
    For every 10 pounds I lose, I get another clothing item from my absolute favourite store (which is sadly very expensive).
    And for a few major goals I flagged I will get myself a new tattoo and piercing.

    I've also been thinking about setting myself fitness goals instead of weightloss goals, i.e. running 3k without a break, or reaching a certain yoga pose - but I haven't thought up rewards for that yet

    If I choose to see anything as a reward, it'll probably be the new clothes I'll need to buy as my shape changes. Although they're essentially a necessity, I love clothes shopping and will definitely feel that it's a treat for me. I'm also kind of hoping that the exercise I do will help my chronic ankle instability, so maybe one of the ultimate rewards at the end of my efforts will be the ability to start jogging again.
