I have been trying to think about rewards for my weight lose and I have not been very creative in my thoughts. I for sure know that the old me would say yeah have a cookie or an ice cream sundae. but I am trying to find things like a body wrap or massage. If you have given yourself some rewards (non-food) please share I could use all the help I can get!!

    My husband took me shopping for music. I found the first 3 AC/DC albums and the soundtrack to Flash Gordon. It is hard to reward myself without falling back on cookies. I saw new Double Stuf golden Oreos on sale!

    Here are my thoughts for my own rewards:
    -new nail polish (or other cosmetic - good for small interim rewards - e.g., I got myself a new nail polish for logging my food for 2 weeks, then 2 for 30 days, to enforce the habit)
    -I have a wedding to go to in July, so if I lose a certain amount, I get to buy a new dress with a bit higher of a budget than I would normally give myself. If I don't, I have to wear a dress I already have.
    -I'm a big traveler, so for certain things, I reward myself by putting money into a travel fund.
    -new case for my phone
    -tickets to a show (concert, theater, or otherwise)
    -new shoes
    -fresh flowers

    My trainer friend suggested that I reward myself $1 for every work out.
    Once I hit $500 (or after 500 work outs), I am getting myself a Burberry clutch (little handbag).

    Since I started tracking on 3/30/2012, I've earned $12 so far.
    Slowly but surely...

    I'm registering for the Color Run! It's a 5K I've wanted to do but kind of pricey. It'll be a reward for training to do it :)

    I bought myself a HRM when I hit 150 lbs. My next one [140] I'll cut my hair and dye it. Also planning on getting my acrylics back and a pedicure, as well as a full body massage [god knows I need it!] and for 135 which is my goal weight, I'll be buying myself a crapload of new makeup and a whole new wardrobe/cute shoes :)

    I went out yesterday and bought a new outfit, it was great getting into a smaller size. It inspires me to keep going.

    For 10lbs lost- haircut
    for 25lbs lost- new makeup (im a makeup addict)
    50 lbs lost- new shoes (expensive shoes)

    And my husband is giving me 2.00 for every lb I lose, to buy new clothes when I get to my goal weight :)

    Once I am either at my goal weight or a weight that my doctor and I agree is healthy for me, we are taking a trip back home to Israel, then spending a couple weeks in Greece.
    I haven't been home in years, and cannot wait. I decided I would prefer a big reward than a list of small ones.

    I put things on layby and get to pick them up when I have achieved my goals, or I get my hair done, get my nails done, facial, or a really really indulgent once off treat, like a red velvet cupcake from this amazing shop in the city.

    When i finish my journey, i am getting a custom made outfit and or corset!

    I just treated myself to some new clothes, new shoes, and the tiniest bikini!! Once my belly gets a little more toned, im going to replace my current belly ring with a prettier, new one.

    fresh flowers every week that you lose weight-and every time you look at them you are reminded to stay on track!
