i am just 6lbs away from a nice milestone, I tend to get stuck just shy of 50lbs and want to come up with a really nice reward as motivation.

i still have a lot to loose after that, so clothes aren't what I'm looking for yet.... some ideas I'm tossing around are:

horse back riding ( was afraid the horse would bolt if it saw me heading towards it before)
awesome pair of shoes?
really nice bead for my weight loss tracking bracelet?

i'm just not finding the right thing for me right now... haven't come up on that idea that says - YIPEE!!! that's it!! so I'm looking for ideas from others :)

    How about a weekend/night away with your husband? Go somewhere romantic, just the two of you?

    Pamper yourself to a message, facial, pedicure, manicure.

    Go to a day spa and get a body wrap or treatment. If you can afford it couple that with a massage. I got to do it once, and I felt like a million bucks! Seriously, it's money well spent and your skin will feel amazing!

    Could do with a clue price wise......

    Manicure/pedicure

    Facial and make over

    New hair style

    A piece of exercise equipment

    A spa day for you and a close female friend/relative

    Well done on your success so far...hope you reach your 50lbs very soon

    50 lbs., GREAT! Isn't it time for a few new pieces of clothes and/or shoes. Spring is here and Summer around the corner, some great open toe sandals, new walking or workout shoes to "pump it up" this summer...CONGRATS

    Totally agree, how much are you looking to spend? I say book a trip! anywhere from a full fledged vacation to a day trip out of town, or for the weekend etc... nothing is a better motivator for me than looking GREAT for a vacation... or... drive to see a friend or family member you haven't seen in a long time and show them how great you look! Exercise equipment, heart rate monitors, new cook books, new work out dvd's etc are also a great reward... and will help you loose even more so it is the gift that keeps on giving... Congrats on being almost 50 lbs down! that is amazing! good for you!

    price wise.. ehh under $100.00.. I'll save a more indulgent idea for when I reach my goal... have a couple of trips in mind as well as a shopping trip.
