    Boobs.

    <<--check 'em out.

    They're great and the only part of me that I couldn't "fix" with a clean diet and exercise.

    Every 15 pounds I get to pick from my 'rewards list' which includes a pedicure, a massage, new outfit, etc. When I hit my UGW we are going on a cruise or big road trip somewhere beautiful!

    When I hit the 180 mark, getting the 4 more pairs of Tactical 5.11pants that I like to work in. Though going through the old stored clothes has been rewarding, some of the stuff is over 12 years old.

    Thought I would do something big when I reached my goal wt, but the truth is I really haven't done anything yet. I got some new clothes along the way out of necessity, but nothing just as a splurge. I am trying to maintain and have always found it hard to reward myself. My hubby gave me money for a massage and a spa day, but I just can't seem to splurge on myself.There the money sits in my wallet.What's wrong with me?????

    I completely agree with you guys, but sometimes it's hard to see the big picture in the day to day struggle. Most of us here were used to a life style of not being very healthy, so smaller goals and rewards can help stay focused on being healthy until it becomes routine.

    I don't find award type rewards at all motivating. If I need something, I buy it. If I can't afford it, I figure out a less expensive alternative. Anything that would be enough to really motivate me would be way out of my budget regardless.

    Having said that, I was really excited with the new workout pants I bought this weekend. I couldn't wait to get to the gym! So I've decided that my 'rewards' will be things that are motivating because using them will make me healthier. So I guess I will be purchasing the reward before of earned them lol. I think my next investment will be a wok pan for making stir-fry.

    Once I lose enough weight that I can't just wear my jeans with a belt anymore, I'll buy myself all new ones. That way I get a reward and I look good in new jeans and can show off my fitter body. I've lose 4 pant sizes so far and have felt better each time I zip up a new smaller pair.

    I'm thinking about having some pin-up photos taken when I get to my goal weight. I did a group retro/pin-up photoshoot as part of a bachelorette party when I'd just started my diet and had a blast. I think I'd like to have some "after" photos to match the set.


    That sounds awesome! My mom and sister are both photographers, so I would love to do this with a few of my friends. Now if I can just find healthier friends lol

    When I drop 18 lbs I will buy a new vintage dress I love vintage clothing

    Me too! I've started making a lot of my own vintage stuff. It gives me something to do when I'm bored at the house lol
