ideas for rewards???

dancer33

So I think I need some good ideas to reward myself when I lose 5 more lbs, 10 lbs, then 15 lbs. Looking and feeling better just isn't gonna cut it!! Anyone have any good motivators? Such as buying a new outfit, etc? (Also rewards that DONT cost money would be great too ) Thanks!

Vacation
New bathing suit/bikini
Spa treatement for a day (facial, pedicure, manicure, swedish massage)

Personally I like the spa treatment (of course if it were for me I'd cut out the first (3) selections and keep the swedish massage :laugh:

Spa treatment is a good idea... I do facials, pedi n mani every two weeks! They are great.. it's a time to relax.. I don't know bout anybodies massage though. lol
Shopping or a nite out those are good too.

I reward myself with $10 for every pound lost. I put the money in my "weight loss" bank (old coffee can)
If I gain any of the weight back for longer than a week I have to take that amount and put it back in the bank, that way I don't get paid twice to loose the same pound.

The goal is to have money available to buy a couple of outfits every time I reach a goal and need some clothes that fit.

Hmmm - rewards. A new book, subscription to a fitness/health magazine, new hair style, new shoes , also maybe a day trip to somewhere close you haven't been or been in a long time to do something different - like local waterfalls, hiking trail, swimming hole, caverns, etc. An evening with some girlfriends watching sappy movies (or funny movies) and trying some new recipes for healthy treats. I'll think more and get back to ya!!!

Great idea! I'm trying to save $5/pound to use for my swedish massage when I drop 40!

Good Idea, I think I'll try this one myself.

or
Sometimes I buy a piece of clothing one size too small and then I set my goal not in lbs, but to be able to fit into that piece of clothing, like the dress I have set out for my grandparents wedding anniversary party Labor Day weekend that is still a little too snug...

i have gotten some ummmm piercings for my rewards .... and when i reach my final goal it will be a tattoo....but there are sooooo many things you can reward yourself with....clothes are always a big one ....since you will need them anyways if your losing....

I LOVE this idea. I won't be able to do $10 for every lb , but I'd actually be happy with like $2-$5/lb. Well I gotta say , your a smart cookie , I would have never thought to do this but it is a great idea.

I am planning the same. I want to get my belly button pierced when I reach 20 pounds down from where I am today.

New belly jewelry is always a favorite!

I just bought myself a new bra and belt costume, it should be here this week sometime...also bought a beautiful new golden sword.

When my children head back home on the 26th, I'm going out to buy fabric and beads...have a new costume project design in mind that will keep me busy and chase away the empty house blues!
