Does anyone have any rewards (other than looking and feeling fantastic) after they've reached their fitness goals?

Mine is to get my motorcycle license and get a bike :) I figure it's a good excuse to get a bike and the extra motivation wouldn't hurt :)

    I really didn't reward myself during my weight loss journey and haven't done much since I met my goal, although my aunt did invite me horseback riding to celebrate, which is something I couldn't have done before I lost weight.

    I wanted to do a makeover and get a whole new wardrobe (even though I hate shopping) but we don't have the money so I've mostly just made do with a few clearance items to get me by with clothes that fit and that's about it.

    Just getting back into my skinny clothes will be all the reward I need!

    My fiancee promised a new pair of shoes (preferably the ones in my profile picture!) after I reach the 20lbs mark. I am going to get myself a dream wedding dress after I reach the 30lbs mark. Can't wait!!!

    I got my reward a little early...HRM and new shoes to keep up my routine. hahaha. Since I've gotten those two things, I can't afford a reward until my next goal!

    One I hit 200 lbs (only 46lbs away!) I plan on getting my next tattoo. Once I hit my ultimate goal of 160/155lbs, my reward will be my wedding ^_^

    I set small goals, and each small goal has a reward. For example: 200 lbs is a Just Dance 2 for Wii.

    My ultimate goal (145 lbs) I am treating myself to a trip to Disney World with my Best Friend and his kiddos. It's going to be Fabulous!!!

    Going to dress the husband up in a monkey suit and have new "wedding" photos taken in the custom made dress I was supposed to wear (before turning up pregnant 4 months before the wedding). http://jupitermoon3.com/wedding-kate-2008.html

    I reward myself with cake and gin. Perhaps this would explain why my progress is slow-going :wink:

    I set up rewards for milestones, but you know what, I ended up preferring weekly pat on the backs for every pound I lost. I've bought clothes for work as a result (necessity) and the joy of getting smaller sizes was enough.

    But getting a motorcycle license etc is great!! They're fun :-P

    I guess my 'rewards' are the many pairs of too-small and/or expensive jeans buried in my dresser :-P AND the penultimate reward for finishing my goal is letting myself go wedding dress shopping..

    My mom said she would buy me my clothes at least $500 worth. I am looking forward to it.

    It's nice to hear what everyone has. I like the cake and gin :)

    I am also getting married (summer of 2012) and I want me and my future wife to look our best when that day comes around. Who wants to remember their wedding day all fat ans sweaty? ;)

    We're both motivated by that and I know she's working hard for it. That for me, is another reward I get to look forward to. The extra encouragement from friends and family also keep us going. It's awesome.

    I would like to have a pair of miss me jeans they are pricey and I would never ever buy them now but if I stick to it and lose this weight I would buy at least a pair.
