I need some ideas! I don't really want anything like getting my nails done (I bite my nails anyway) or my hair done, a massage or spa day...nothing like that. I feel like I wouldn't want to waste my hard earned money on anything like that. Nothing terribly expensive either. Yeah, I kinda made it THAT much harder! haha. But, As you can see by looking at my signature, my rewards for my goals aren't filled in yet. I am having a lot of trouble thinking of stuff! Any ideas fellow MFPers? What did you guys do when you met your goals?

    Firstly, good luck on your journey! Little rewards after meeting your goals along the way are awesome! When I reached my 30 lb mark, my husband bought me a really nice EMS Gortex rain shell (jacket) for our upcoming hike. You will need clothes as you'll be fitting into smaller sizes (but you don't want to buy too many either if you still have more to go). I made sure I got the size that will still fit me when I hit my goal 20 lbs later... hehe. I saw your note about the purse... I LOVE Coach! And yes they're not cheap but they do have outlet stores and it could be something special to serve as a reminder as to why you have a little Coach wristlet, etc.. whatever it may be make it special to you or just something you don't do for yourself very often. Maybe it's something you've always wanted but wouldn't spend the money on, etc... plan for it. And.. I wish you the best success!!! Like I said rewards are fun :smile:

    if your a reader maybe a new book when you reach a goal.

    I personally chose a new piercing and when I get to my goal weight a NEW TATTOO!!! ( since my goal weight is about 25-30 lbs away I can save for it now!

    I really want to add to my piercing collection, but I am in school and will probably have to take out all my crazy piercings out for clinicals :( ugh...that will be a sad day. I want to add to my tattoo collection as well, just have to think about what i want! Can't think of anything right now...

    Maybe just reward yourself with accessories/new item of clothing as you have done for a couple of goals there.

    You can reward yourself with new workout attire, gadgets, workout dvd's, etc to keep you motivated & moving.

    cinema/ theatre tickets,
    art class or other class, sewing class so you can remake old clothes that don't fit any more
    walk in the country,
    get in touch with an old friend and go for coffee,
    a morning/day to do whatever you want ( be it sleep in or go shopping) but one where it's completely your choice.
    ask a friend / partner/ parent to plan a surprise.
    do something you've not in ages but used to love ( even if its jusst getting kids crayons out and going crazy)
    redecorate
    go to a clothes swap event and get rid rid of all those old clothes
    pick up a camera and try and be arty for a day.
    ummm take a day off work for no reason ( if applicable)

    I love to read, so mine is a new book of some sort, or maybe a gym membership? or some clothes? A new pair of ear rings?
