    I have just joined myfitnesspal recently and have decided that at every 10lbs lost I am going to buy fresh cut flowers for our kitchen, and then take a picture of them. When I see them on the kitchen table it will be a reminder of how well I'm doing and when I have reached my goal I will make a collage of all the pictures, and frame it. That way I can see my accomplishment. No one else will really know what it means when they see it, but I will know :)

    What an awesome idea ! I love it!

    I love that idea. Haven't purchased fresh flowers in a long time. I have lost 27 lbs - going out to purchase flowers today!!!

    When I reach the ONEderland (7 lbs away from it), I will sign myself up for personal fitness training.
    Earlier my goal was to buy a coach purse but I changed my mind :)

    great ideas.

    my first 2 goals were 1. to get my hair done and 2. bought new Nike running shoes.

    here are my next set goals:

    1. buy a fitbit or HRM watch (only 2lbs away) 150lbs
    2. facial 145lbs
    3. a sexy bouirdour shoot ;) I had a chance to do this a few years ago and chickened last minute because of my self confidence. and now I TOTALLY regret it. wish I would have done it before having my son. BUT oh well If i reach this goal i will look better than before. 140lbs
    4. buy new bras and undies and take a weekend getaway with husband. 135lbs

    Some really great ideas:

    * The first 10 lbs. loss - 1 hour massage
    * Lost 15 more lbs. - 1 hour massage
    * When I loss 20 lbs. more (for a total 45 lbs lost overall -- and I am 4 lbs. 6 ozs away!) -- Not sure...Maybe a massage and getting my hair done/ or shopping spree.

    When I lost my first 15 pounds, my reward was a new pair of running/workout shoes.

    30 pounds is a new haircut and hairdye (and I need it, too! Yikes!)

    50 pounds is an hrm.

    After that, I'll see what comes up!

    SW- 238.5 when I reached 229 lbs ( i Haven't been in the 220's in 4 years ) I bought new running shoes. When I reach 210 lbs I am going to buy me a treadmill. I hope to reach 190 by my birthday, Dec 21st. Not sure what I am going to reward myself with then.. but It will DEFINITELY be awesome. If I am 150 lbs by June 5th ( 1 year anniversary mfp ) I will take trip to the beach. I haven't thought about my reward for my goal weight ( 138 lbs, 100 down! ) But I am sure I will think of something. I do like the idea of a pedi every 10 lbs. I may do that!

    I think I'd like a new sports bra when I lose 20 lbs., but I told my husband yesterday that when I lose 41 (into ONEderland) I'm buying myself a bicycle. No thought to what I'll do after that :tongue:

    every 10 pounds (this last time 5 pounds because i really wanted ot hit 175, i have a friend who told me she was 175, and i never thought of her as "fat", so i wanted ot get there), i go through my closet and try EVERYTHING on. i take the stuff that doesn't fit to goodwill, it's really rewarding to take my old fat clothes and physically hand them over.

    when i reach 150, my boyfriend said he'd buy me a new wardrobe. he doesn't know it yet.... but MY reward for reach my goal is another baby..... lol! the thought of being over 200 pounds again is scary, even if pregnant. we want another one.... but i really want to see that magic number first.....

    I rewarded myself with a pedicure for my 15 lbs lost. I will probably keep that up for ever 15 lbs lost.

    When I reach my final goal weight of 140 lbs my father said he's buy me a new wardrobe.. He probably just said that because he doesn't think I will actually get there, but I will! (Of course I would spend reasonably lol)
    What is your current weight/height? My goal is to lose 80 more, I've lost 11 so far!

    I buy a really cute new outfit in a size or two, too small. I try the outfit once a week and when I can finally fit into it comfortably I am so excited!

    Mine are not fashionable but here goes
    5lbs lost bought multiple sets of measuring cups and spoons - so I can always find what I need
    10lbs lost bought a small digital kitchen scale - no excuse not to measure everything
    between 20-25lbs lost bought new walking shoes- walked through the old pair
    35 pounds lost bought a polar hrm - which I just did and hit Onederland the same week, yeah Me!
    Have been deciding as I go so don't know what is next...
    All the money I used to spend on snacks and junkfood goes into a glass jar - with a label All About Me so I have quite a bit put away so far guess I will need all new clothes

    My Goal is set for Dec 6th. All of December is celebratory. I'd like to be there by T'day though. The 8th is 1 kick@ss weekend and I want to look fabulous. Buying the blouse this weekend and hanging it in a viewable spot in the closet so I see it every day. I would also like a new leather jacket to go with it, but I've yet to find a style that has an inside zipper pocket that I need. I need one in that style because I keep my I.D./CC in it. If I didn't travel like this I would have gotten stuck in BFE a few years ago in the WINTER! aaaaugh!

    Seems "Oh, I want to look good for the holidays" sounds cliche'ish to some but It's my 40th B'day and I want to go into it with style!
    I miss my former fit and strong self! I miss my 6 pack! I miss my stamina!

    I used to have a reward system that involved food rewards. It worked great for me too. It was always something small like coffee cup cake with Nutella or a slice of pizza, etc.

    Now my rewards are things like clothes, having my nails done and things like that. I don't really buy clothes though... I have a ton of friends that gained weight and can't fit into their smaller things so they tell me when I lose a certain amount they'll give me their closet basically. It's worked great because I'm so cheap and don't see the point in buying clothes when I'm just not going to fit into them in a month.

    Started working out, rewarded myself with new workout gear (shorts & sports bras)
    When I finish 30 Day Shred, I'll get an HRM (probably Polar FT4 but open to suggestions)
    If I workout consistently (not every day but close) for 90 days, I plan on getting a gym membership again

    Oooooh, I really like these kind of rewards. :) My first goal is just to get under 200 lbs, which is only 3 lbs away but is taking for.ev.er. My first thought was something like treating myslf to the Cheesecake Factory, but that would probably just put me right back over 200 lbs. even it is only for a day or so, I don't want to go back over 200 once I go under it. So I might get myself a HRM. Maybe I'll do Cheesecake Factory once I get to 180 or somewhere safe from the dreaded 200 lbs mark.

    And I have no idea what I will do when I hit my final goal. It's so far away, and I doubt I can afford a trip.

    When I reach 160 (16 more pounds) I get a whole new wardrobe. If I reach 150, my husband promised me a Vegas trip! He said he would even my fly mom out here to babysit our kids when we went! (We are in Hawaii, she is in Washington)

    I can't wait!!! I got a tattoo once I reached about 25 pounds just because I felt entitled lol

    I'm still deciding. But, for the moment it is this. When I hit 10 kilos (5 to go) I'll buy myself a pandora charm, 15 kilos is possibly another charm and when I get to my goal weight which will be 20 kilos lost all up, I'm going to try contact lenses lol. I've worn glasses since I was 21, and I think it's about time I tried something new. Mind you, the idea of contact lenses petrifies me, so that goal will be a work in progress!

    Does anyone have a reward system for themselves when you reach certain goals...for example you lose 10lb (and you get a pedicure), 20lbs (a facial), and goal weight? C'mon and share them...

    Mine is when I lose 20lbs I get a pair of Louboutin shoes and when I rech my goal weight I WILL be going on a cruise.... (I will look HOT in a bikini then...)

    Share those rewards and goals with us...

    I don't but that is such a great idea I think I will create one!

    For every kilogram I lose I put £10 into a kitty. I will use it to buy some new clothes when I reach my goal weight.

    I also love this idea!! might start putting it into action :D
