What's Your Reward

Do you reward yourself for pounds lost? Just curious... What are some ways (not involving food) you reward yourself for losing weight/reaching a goal? Ex. I plan to sign up for a pole dancing class once I've lost 10 pounds.

I do! When I reach my short term goal (which has taken much longer than anticipated ) I'm going to reward myself with a Garmin Forerunner 220 gps watch so I can use it during mud runs. Only ten more pounds...0

Thank you! Pole dancing classes sound awesome, I wish they were offered where I live.0 -
I got some higher end beauty products when I hit certain mini goals. My ultimate goal reward, aside from better health, is a trip to the salon for a color/cut0

No. Feeling better and being happier is all the reward I need.
Edit: And don't wait to do pole! Sign up now! NOW NOW NOW!0 -
Make up is always puts a smile on my face! Duh! Didn't think about rewarding myself with Mac!!! Good idea!0

I'm an avid reader. I get a new book every 10 pounds.0

Sadly... That's not enough to keep me going...although it should be. Lol0 -
You all are giving me great ideas! Thanks!!!0

Shoes - these ones. Burgundy patent leather with an 11cm heel and the bonus is they're comfortable too.

Pole dancing sounds fun! Great idea. I think I'll have to wait until I reach about 160 for that for fear I'd break the damn pole. lol! At 80lbs lost my honey bought me a fitbit force. When I reach 100 (any. stinkin. day. now.) I am buying a new dress. Once I reach 150 I'm gettin' me a fancy shmancy new bicycle.0

I do not need to give myself prizes for taking care of myself. Besides the fact that I'm not six years old, I have two reasons for not doing this. If I buy myself something, that's coming out of my own money, so really that is not a prize. I also believe that I am a worth and important person. I work hard for my money. If I really want something and I have earned the money, I buy it.
Over the long term, I take care of my food and exercise (and sleep) because I want to be healthy, energetic and long-lived. Extrinsic rewards are not very beneficial.0 -
I reward myself with a song per lb lost on my amazon account. I'm celebrating little victories. Also I've had my eye on a pair of shoes for a while now that I'll be getting for my short term goal. I have a pair of hiking boots I want for my second short term goal. I haven't really thought about a long term goal reward yet. I think general overall health along with a great figure is my reward there, but who knows maybe I'll do something for the big goal. Oooo just thought of one; I've really been wanting a kayak maybe I'll get myself that. I have lots of weight to go so I might quit buying music and just stuff a dollar a lb in a jar towards my big goal....0

Rewards aren't for everyone... Understandable... For me, however, they are imperative! They serve as an added boost...a bonus to keep me going. Changing your life style and losing weight is hard and hard work should be rewarded. S/n: I think for everyone on MFP the ultimate goal is overall improved health and creating a healthy lifestyle. That's kind of a given. Honestly, if you don't use rewards there's really no need to reply. Just my two cents... Not trying to start anything.0

I love the music idea, as well as, saving money for a big goal!!! Probably gonna steal these... Lol0 -
I'm planning on buying some makeup once I reach my halfway point. I'm also planning on getting new clothes at the end of the summer after I have lost more weight.0
