I picked up this idea from someone a while ago. Thought I might throw it out there incase you want to do the same!:flowerforyou:

I'm putting $1 in a jar for every hundred grams I lose and when I get to my gaol weight I go and buy myself something (I'm thinking a bracelet) to remember that I am worth the effort to take care of myself, and remember how hard I worked to lose the weight, and to remember that I deserve good things too!

I live in Australia so you might choose a different currency eg US$5 per pound or what ever would be worth the effort where you are.:flowerforyou:

I like that idea. I want a tattoo when I reach my goal anyway so that will help me pay for it. If I started it when I started my weight lose $5 for every pound I would be up to $55 right now.:noway:

I decided a while back that I was to get another tattoo when I reach my goal weight and then on the anniversary of reaching my goals weight after that as incentive to not gain anything back. That is one of my biggest fears, that I will gain it back. :sad:

I told myself that when I get reach 10lbs lost, I will buy dance dance revolution. Since it's kind of expensive, it's something I should reward my hard work with

74 pounds well done! Hope your enjoy the new sound of the ipod!:glasses:

Is Dance revolution a wii game?

I love the idea of the tattoo as well!

I imagine fiddeling with my bracelet remembering all the hard work and feeling proud of myself, should be able to buy a nice one with AU$400 in the end.:laugh:

If you have truely changed your life and really want a clean life then I believe you wont gain it back. Make sure you always make yourself a priority in your life! And remember you are worth it! It's hard I know, but it can be done!:drinker:

Whether you lose weight or not, just changing your lifestyle will help you live a better life.

So I will put money in a jar for each day I have made good food choices and added exercise to my day.

In 6 months I am going to take a vacation with that money.

Thanks for the idea!!

If I go down to 170 lbs, I can go to Cannon beach (1.5 hours drive). I'm just 1 lbs short.
160 lbs I'll go to Newport, another beach (4 hours drive) and stay over night. I hope I can go down by my Bday Aug 5th. The last time I was there, 2 weeks ago , I saw 3 whales :noway:

Great thinking!

They are both fantasitc ideas, I'll get my bracelet then I'll think how I am going to reward myself for staying true!
