Reward System?

jkliles

So I have reached a goal of 6 pounds so far. At first I was thinking about making my rewards clothing for every 5 to 10 pounds lost. But at the moment I feel like I am too heavy to think about clothing...i mean whats the point of buying clothing that will fit me now but wont later or vice versa?? So I wanted to know what everyone elses reward systems are!! Any ideas for me until i get to about 160 that is when i want to do the clothes thing :laugh: I dont really want food as rewards either...seems to take away from the healthy eating that i have worked so hard to achieve!

I reward myself with a mani/pedi or some new makeup. The cute workout clothes suggestion is great. They make you feel good while working out and also remind you what it is you're working so hard for.

My mini rewards beside the weight loss is set for every 25 lbs. At first it was a special meal or a special micro-brew beer. Now I'm looking forward to having to having one of my firearms worked on should only cost $50.00 or less when I get under 300 wife says she'll get my a great kilt I've always wanted when we can afford it (they're expensive, Would have lost 144+ lbs). It may become my b-day or christmas gift by then.....LOL. I'd say make your mini rewards something small ( or not so expensive) as it is a mini reward for a mini goal, but make it something you want after all it is a reward for you doing good for you.

Splurge on something that will make you feel good! A mani-pedi, a facial, or some really nice high end product, new haircut....etc. I like rewards that help me feel something, or can act as a reminder of how far I have come, and how strong I can be to keep going. Maybe a new scent, or a pretty bracelet....

Keep up the good work!!

I only get new clothes as I need them. I don't really do rewards though, getting healthier, looking better and seeing the number go down is all the motivation and reward that i need!

I don't really feel rewarded when I get stuff like make up, or my nails done...just not my thing. If I need new make up...I go get new make up. haha And I've seen some people who put on there new work out video, or new work out shoes etc...but I felt like that would be hindering me. If I think getting the zumba wii game is going to help me lose the weight, I don't want to avoid getting it because I haven't hit a certain weight yet...if that makes sense.

I decided to pick big rewards, but have them less often. So after i lose 50lbs I want to take a small weekend getaway with my husband (even if we just leave the kids w/ grandma and stay at a hotel in town all weekend)., I was hoping around I would have lost around -80lbs when we go on a trip to see my in laws...so it was kind of like a family trip/reward squished into one. Its a big trip, all the way across the country, so my reward would have probably been to splurge a little more than I would have on it. Then when I'm at my goal weight 150-160ish, I want to go get all new clothes.

i agree.. I think my reward system is seeing the numbers on the scale go down...
