Do you reward yourself when you reach miletones?

Do any of you give yourself a reward when you reach a milestone? Big or small? For example, if we had the money, I would so go on a cruise with just hubby-no kids-when I reach my ultimate goal weight. But I'd like something for when I git the 100s. Don't know what, though! Hard when you don't have much money lol.

Try a new shirt or outfit when you lose weight or hit goals. Have a spa day!

I have decided that when I lose most of the weight I want to, I'm going to buy some new sexier clothes. I also want to go on a vacation when I am ready for a bikini.

Yeah, i do, it makes the hardwork seem to pay off. I now put the money I would have spent say on fast food or something unhealthy away, so when I reach my goal, the money is there to get my reward.

I do little rewards along the way. Pedicure for 10 pounds, new outfit for 20 and so on.

Yes, I buy myself a new pair of earrings for every 10 lbs I lose. Just cheap earrings like from claires, but it is nice to look forward to getting something every 10 lbs, and when I reach 70 lbs I am going on a 3 day trip to the ocean ( monterey) with my family, for 100 lbs I will get a several new outfits and new workout shoes

I too would love to go on a cruise just me and hubby no kids, but wont be able to do it for awhile. Maybe when the kids are grown or we have just 1 left at home. One can dream. LOL

Yes, I have set up a little reward system along the way. Little stuff here and there ... anything but food. I'm a huge make up junkie so for my 5 lbs it'll be a new eye pallet I've been dying to have ... 10 pounds will probably be a massage .... ahhhhh :happy:

At the end, the big reward will be a new summer wardrobe ????

I know what you mean. Before, a reward was usually an extravagant food, which would be defeating at this point. And being so tight in my budget, it's hard to come up with rewards. I have found that small things (price-wise) that I wouldn't normally get for myself can be incentive enough. For me, that might be a spa treatment, mani-pedi, etc or some new clothes. If you shop frugally, like at Ross, TJ Max and other places, you can find really great things reasonably.

When I hit my halfway point I'm getting a new haircut.

Every 10 pounds or so after that I plan to get one or two new pieces of clothing. You can find nice things on the clearance rack even. You don't need to buy yourself really expensive things. When I hit my goal I do plan to treat myself to a mini shopping spree, though. Nothing super extravagant but a couple new outfits but you sort of need to do that since nothing will fit, haha.

New purse after ten pounds
new clothes after 20 pounds
new sun glasses after 25 pounds
new earings to go with outfits 40 pounds

Funny when heavy I never did jewlery, just recently went out and bought ten pair of earings and three necklaces. The new sunglasses where needed , because the old ones would slip off me face when looking down. Even my head lost wieght.

I don't do rewards. I don't need them. Losing weight and being healthier are all the rewards I need. I do get a new pair or pants when I need them, but since I'm a stay at home mom I don't have to buy a whole new wardrobe every time I drop a size. Once I'm at my goal weight I should be able to fit into all my old clothes, but I'll be getting a lot of new shoes. After pregnancies my feet have grown a half size.
