How do you reward yourself for losing weight?

I'd like to set up an incentive program for myself to reward myself for each weight loss goal reached (vs. reaching my final goal weight). Does anyone else do this? What are your milestones? How/What do you reward yourself with?

    Clothes have always been my biggest motivator. Problem is, I have been down this road SO many times before, I still have the clothes that I rewarded myself with....in storage.

    So my reward will be getting back into those barely worn clothes.....including those 3 cute bathing suits I bought with the intention of getting into when I lost weight (which I never did). That will be like Christmas!

    I have 3 sets of milestones but don't reward myself for each, sometimes I just give myself a tiny hurrah. They are every 10 pounds, every 10%, and every month of sticking with it meaning every month of clean eating and exercise. I reward myself with things for my hobbies, manicure, pedicure, new workout clothes, new clothes for major milestones like 60 pounds lost, workout DVDs, perfume, etc. Pretty much whatever material thing I have wanted I tie it to weight loss because I feel like I earned it. Also, I have cheap rewards like picnic at the lake, seeing a movie, a new book, spending the day playing video games instead of something productive, etc.
