What will be your reward?

Katybun3

When you reach your goal what will be your reward? Maybe a takeaway, a new pair of jeans a trip to the hairdressers or perhaps a night out with your loved one?

For me it has to be a pair of tight leggings. Nothing exciting I know but I've never been able to wear them without looking like Max Wall.

They're all the fashion at the moment and I envy women who are able to look so sleek in them. I might even buy them now and keep reminding myself that I WILL GET THERE!!!

Definitely a new pair of jeans and a lot more to add to my wardrobe!

I have a tatoo in mind for my final reward.

Being in shape will be enough reward for me. The consequence of that will be new clothes.

Self Confidence and a higher self esteem will be my greatest rewards, as for material things I have already bought 2 bikini's that hang on my bathroom door as a constant reminder, there will also be a shopping trip involved as new clothes will be in order and at some point a trip somewhere warm where I can wear the new bikini's.

The confidence to stand on the beach or by the pool in a bikini will be MORE than enough reward But a new pair of jeans and a few cute sundresses might be a nice bonus

I should be able to fit into all my old clothes. My big reward will be new shoes. Two pregnancies made my feet grow by about half a size, so I really don't have any good shoes anymore.

one reward will be the necessity of a new wardrobe. I tend to wear clothes until they no longer look nice (in regard to holes, tatters, etc., not in regard to current fashion trends). With the exception of the 2 or 3 replacement shirts/pants per year, my wardrobe hasn't changed much in about 10 years. I still have many of the clothes that I bought for my freshman year of college (and I'm 29 now).

Still trying to think of other rewards (whereas, as someone else pointed out, the new wardrobe is really a consequence, not a reward), so I'm looking forward to seeing what other people write.

A night out!! That I will be wearing a new pair of cute jeans...(I have only 2 pairs that even fit me now! - so prob will have to buy a new pair!) And I will be wearing a shirt that doesn't hide all my curves...I will be showing them all off!!!

I'll definitely be going on a shopping spree at Saks and Nordstrom, and i'll be planning a vacation to the beach. I might also like to work at a gym so I could help others with their weight-loss journeys.

I set up rewards for all my mini goals.. If I hit 180 by 01Feb, I'm going to get a pedicure If I hit 165 by 15March, my hubby is going to send me to the spa to have a body wrap (helps tighten skin & is a natural detox- you lose inches too!).

Then my BIG goal is to hit 135 by 01July. This will be shortly before my husband comes home from his current deployment to Afghanistan, so that will warrant a new wardrobe, and a nice night out on the town. PLUS, my husband told me that his gift to me if I get to 135 and can maintain, that he would be willing to foot the bill for a tummy tuck & whatever else I needed to nip/tuck my loose skin. Although, I'm not sure about going through with it, but it was awesome for him to offer it up!

Finishing my triathlon in under 1:25 will be reward enough in itself. HOWEVER, since I will have earned some kind of goody, I'll probably take a day off, drive up to the casino with a couple of buddies and play in a poker tournament. It's been a while since I've been and I love playing.

That is an AWESOME idea. I've been looking for more guy-oriented reward ideas, and that just might be the best I've heard yet.

I've honestly thought about slipping into my wedding dress (from 7yrs ago!) and wearing it for a "trash the dress" photo session. Not really sure why that entered my mind a few weeks ago, but I think it could be kinda fun! Otherwise, feeling skinny, wearing a bikini and getting some new clothes will be all the reward I need. Oh and maybe a vacation to go with that bikini!!

When I get collarbones to show off again, I'm going to cut my hair even shorter than it is now. (I cut off 16" two years ago, and 8" before Christmas, but it's not enough, haha!)

Tara_Alesia

I'll get a new wardrobe! My thing has been "I'm not going to buy clothes until I can't wear the ones I own, anymore!" Even then, I'm going to Goodwill until I reach my goal weight. It'll be nice to slip into a smaller pair of jeans at some point!

Glad to help.

Same here. I just hate shopping, but mostly because I've always been overweight and shopping is not fun for me. So I am looking forward to the point where I HAVE to replace all my clothes because I just can't fit into what is in my closet already.

Until I read this thread I hadn't really thought much about it....but thinking about it is actually kinda fun.
So 15 weeks from now is my 41st birthday, May 7th, a Saturday and I think a little get-a-way with the hubs would be in order with a new outfit or two

My reward is a cruise to the west caribbean in September. I want to look good in a bathing suit again. :happy:

My hairdresser and I already have planned that when I hit my BIG goal I will get my hair cut, colored and highlighted (the works) and she said she would charge me half price!! - other than that just being healthier and happier and doing many things I was too "afraid" or couldn't do because of my weight!!!

moonkat1982

a pair of shorts and the confidence to wear them. Sounds simple enough but it's been 10 long years since I've worn shorts. If I can up my lifestyle change it will be summer when I reach my goals. I can't wait, makes driving past wendy's worth it.

crissimoyer

Just being able to get back into my old jeans (which I have too many off) is a huge reward but I pierced my nose after the first 15lbs came off. Not sure what will happen when I reach my final goal...possibly some new running shoes, which is an obsession for me!

ralevin

I remember a reward I decided on a couple of attempts ago:
When I get to my goal range (not sure what the weight will be until I get there, I'm guessing 180ish, just beause the BMI chart says that's healthy), I'm going sky diving. Something I've always wanted to do, but the weight limit (at least at all the places I've looked) is 250.

Only one caveat....when I set up that reward, I was just a bachelor with no attachments. Now I'm married with a kid, so sky diving might not be a decision I can make by myself.

Stefani74

We bought the motivation last fall....a boat! So the reward is to have the confidence to ride around in the boat wearing a bikini...without covering up with a t-shirt!!

faithNlove212

My reward is nothing material, my reward will just being able to feel attractive again!

SMarie10

As I read everyone elses responses, I thought of what I'd want as a reward - Definitely a new bike. The one I have is about 15 years old and I will be ready to try some off-roading on some new wheels. Now - just need to decide if this should be a mini-reward when I'm 1/2 way there or wait. I don't think I can wait another year :-)

freerange

A new Kilt.

neelia

The biggest reward will be the feeling that I get in the dressing room when I fit into my goal jeans. The second will be the feeling of knowing I accomplish something I set my mind to. My third reward will be a tattoo. & my fourth reward is a rockin' bikini.
