    My reward once I reach my goals ( if my wife allows me, that is) is to get a shark tattoo on my mid section were I marked with an X ( I tried drawing a shark instead but it didnt go so well) I have always loved sharks and when I see one i'm always in awe of how beautiful and gracefull they are but at the same time dangerous. And since sharks are almost 100% muscle and very little fat ( something I inspire to be aswell) I think its the perfect gift to myself!! Hopefully I will be able to convince her. :frown:
    if you don't mind me asking, what is your goal and why do you need your wife's permission?
    No not at all, I really dont need her permission. We are both 42 and the tat craze happened after we cared about being hip I guess. She just doesnt find them attractive. She loves the way I look and thinks a tattoo will only ruin my hardwork. She would prefer me to stay tat free. I think her whole negative opinion of tats comes from her dad who has numerous bad tats that he got when he was younger and in the army, im trying to change her opnion of them more than trying to gain her permission.

    Visit all my old boyfriends and show 'em what they're missing. (Not really, but it's nice to have a fantasy!)

    I just realized that I misread your post! Now it makes more sense. When you said "if my wife allows me," I thought you were referring to reaching your goals...the tattoo makes way more sense. haha, sorry!

    Instead of rewarding OURSELVES, also consider how rewarding it can be to do for others.

    Now, I am not saying that I don't have rewards for me, but I have set out when I hit the 150 lb lost mark to do something nice for someone else. Think about those who struggle to lose, pay it forward, sponsor someone's gym membership, feed the hungry, etc. Just a thought...

    A LeVian ring... my birthstone (aquamarine) surrounded by chocolate and white diamonds :) I'll have earned that, because I'll have lost about 70 lbs at that point!

    Taking my shirt off in public. I don't care where I am.

    Okay, maybe not in church....or at a senior citizen's home....but hey....

    ^^^This. I also want to run without my shirt on. Right now, that would be a sight nobody should have to endure.
    I also would like to buy some new clothes and I'd like to wear a hat sometimes - something like a fedora.
