I'm currently down to 192 (highest I've been was 220) and I'm trying to get down to 185 lbs. What do you guys reward yourself with when you reach your goal? I was thinking buying something like a new softball bat or a trip to Vegas. I'm thinking its gotta be something to make me eager to reach my goal, haha. I suppose being healthier should be reward enough, but what do you use as rewards?

  • I reward myself with shopping for clothes! :happy:

    I was thinking about this morning. I'm so close to goal I can taste it but I've been here for months. I think my reward will be Chalene Extreme so I can get really toned at my goal weight plus new clothes.

    So far I haven't set any rewards for myself. (didn't even occur to me to tell you the truth)
    As you said, losing all this weight IS my reward.

    I think being healthier and staying healthy is the reward, especially as you pass the milestones along the way.

    well i have been hitting alot of goals this year and i have done the make up thing,shoes thing,clothes thing!!! even the jewlery thing lol(hubby not happy):)
    but after so many goals its just nice to loose weight without worrying about it to much! does that sound silly??? even tho i still have a way to go i want to loose it all by xmas 11.
    so start small and get bigger(not your weight)lol
    and good luck

    I like the idea of reinvesting in your weight loss! I already have P90x, adjustable dumbbells, a pull up bar, and push up bars. Oh and a exercise bike which I love.

    Maybe I'll get a medicine ball or something, need it for the GSP workout in Maximum fitness! Though Vegas is still very tempting...

    Pretty expensive, make sure you stick with it to get your money's worth! I gifted it to a friend and they no longer use it. :(

    I set small goals as I work my way to my ultimate goal. My rewards are small too (buy a new book, see a movie I've been wanting to see, etc.). Once I reach halfway, I will reward myself with something bigger and my ultimate reward is a new tattoo. I do like the ideas that other people have given of reinvesting in fitness gear but I have P90X, a treadmill, a rowing machine, a HRM and a Wii so I don't know that I need anything else.

    When I get to my goal I will buy myself a bikin as were going to Vegas to get married sometime this year no date yet but that means I'm doin my bloody best lol
  • I have yet to decide how to reward myself for my final goal but I feel it should be something kind of spectacular and memorable like maybe a made-to-measure outfit or a holiday or something? I never really go on holiday so a holiday would be amazing but obviously budget is a problem...

    As for small goals, I had an idea yesterday - Amazon now let you add any item to their wish lists so whenever I see something that I'd like I'm going to add it there. Then when I get to my intermediate goals I'm going to allow myself to buy something from my list.

    For now it's going to be make-up and jewellery mostly I think as those will still fit/work if I lose lots of weight and will make me feel good about myself in the process :smile:

    I hate working out in public so anything i can get to keep me active at home always gets heavy use.... But that's for the advice, I made sure to try it out a bunch before I picked it as my gift to me!
    Plus it's my mid way reward, so i needed it to be big... otherwise it's things like pedis and such

    Yea, I buy everything on amazon. Two day shipping with Prime and no tax! I usually cave in and buy things on my wish-list though...
