What will be your reward when you reach your goal.

I rarely buy clothes for myself. This was especially true when I was heavier cause I worked for Lane Bryant for years and had an extensive wardrobe of stuff from that time in my life. I haven't bought more than a piece or two for each size as I lost weight (stay at home mom so I can wear the same baggy sweats day after day). I am so looking forward to going shopping for me. I feel a little guilty spending money on myself (moms almost always do) but I am gonna buy a red dress and I believe I will look in the mirror and feel pretty again. That will be my reward.

What will you do as a reward?

    I have two goals for myself. (Well, three if I technically think about it). Ultimately I would LOVE to loose 30lbs. But realistically I'd be happy with 20.

    So, my half way mark, when I loose 10lbs is to purchase a Polar Heart Rate Monitor watch. Which will hopefully help me get to my goal of 20lbs. And ultimately to 30lbs.

    My reward will be a whole new wardrobe with no guilt. I won't go crazy dollar-wise but if I can afford it, I won't worry about whether or not I NEED it. I also want to take a really nice vacation. Europe (England) is my first choice, but we'll see when to time comes.

    I love these kind of posts! :) I'm almost to my first goal weight of 135...when I get there i want to get new clothes of course... When I get to 130 my reward to myself is to get Jillian Michaels Body Revolution and get the last bit of fat off and tone up! I'm hoping I can order that reward August 1st...but we'll see :heart: :tongue:

    Clothes, for sure! Lane Bryant is the only store where I can get anything nice that fits me. Since I got so big, I usually end up getting clothes on clearance at K-mart, since I can't really afford Lane Bryant. (Once in a while, a clearance item)

    Cake-Ice Cream-Pizza- Fried....ANYTHING.. haha don't freak out MFP's just jokin. I love the clothes idea.....I mean it is fun, as well as needed if you change sizes, which I think most of us are hoping for. My fav. is the idea of setting up a vacation 8 months out or so. It gives you time to save the monoey and reach a small goal in a very healthy time frame. I am broke so I just jusp into all the photos I can now.....sounds funny but it's quite rewarding. I used to avoid cameras at all costs.

    I've set up with my mother, who is a registered massage therapist that for every 15 lbs lost i get a hot stone massage. seemed like a good way to nurture my body after losing. I won't really but a lot of new clothes except for underwear because still have my 'before' wardrobe. I might update a few pieces.

    edited to add: that's about 3 massages worth of weight loss i'm aiming for.

    My reward gets to be a physical fitness test for the police academy in 2 months. I've got 25lbs to go and 2 months of cardio/strength training to prepare for it.

    Hopefully the end reward will be a new career!

    I will get a new wardrobe, a vacation (or maybe road-trip), a massage, a new bathing suit! Not all at once, but this is what I'll do!

    I deactivated my Facebook account. When I get within 5 lbs of my goal, I can reactivate it. :smile:

    Once I hit my goal, I can put up pics and brag a bit to friends and family. :bigsmile:

    I think a new bathing suit and a tropical vacay with hubby would be the ultimate reward ; ) and I would deserve it, too.

    ... I am gonna buy a red dress and I believe I will look in the mirror and feel pretty again. That will be my reward.

    What will you do as a reward?

    I'm in the Red Dress party too! I actually plan on an evening gown for a special event that I plan on attending next early summer and I'm even thinking a little corset action ;-)

    In addition to the red dress, I plan on investing in more and nicer work out clothes and maybe a bike. Also jewelry :-D

    I'm hoping to be able to wear pretty shoes as opposed to my Danskos. I'm a teacher and a sales rep, so I need to be comfortable. However, I'd like to wear cute shoes. At 170, it really hurt my feet and back to wear anything else. 12 pounds to go! :D

    Don't get all sexy and then become skanky... that's just not becoming. Keep it classy!

    I have mini goals planned throughout my journey. But when I hit my goal weight, I am booking a trip to Disneyland. I'm a single mom to the most fabulous kid ever and we're going to have a ball! Plus, it will be the first time getting on a plane without worrying about fitting in an airplane seat. I cannot wait.
