    I'll buy myself a designer dress or something but it certainly wont be food.

    I'm getting pretty close to my goal weight (12 lbs away), and I've been sticking with the tattoo theme as well by wanting to finish off my sleeve. BUT, I don't think that I'm going to get it once I hit my goal... I want to maintain for a year before getting this treat for myself. The shopping spree will definitely need to come quickly though! :bigsmile:

    I'm not 100% sure what my final goal weight is. I know where I've looked good in the past, but I think I can do better.

    So...I'm giving myself little gifts as I hit milestones. For sticking to my diet this week and exercising all 7 days, it is a new HR monitor! Only 3 days to go!

    When I am smoking hot, I think a trip to the beach in a teeny bikini might be in order.

    I have no plans to treat or reward myslef when I reach my goal. I am fine with doing what I should merely for the satisfaction of doing it. I am not a 3rd grader nor a pet. And I only have ever had about 10 vanity pound to lose-so it's not a big deal...

    Now getting to where I'm lifting weights and exercising more is actually a bigger goal! Which will be rewarded with being stronger and healthier.
  • I'll definitely buy some new clothes, seeing as I'll need them anyway!
  • Yep!!

    A full side tattoo or an across the upper back tattoo of a cherry blossom tree and/or branch, depending on where I get it...

    : ))
  • I have bought a load of clothes which are a little snug now but will look fantastic when I am at goal! I am also going to get a tattoo on my hip which I have wanted for years!
    Hey, I might even save for a holiday since I will be able to wear a bikini without feeling self conscious for once!

    Not necessarily food-wise, but I've been wanting a guitar tattoo on my forearm for years and I told myself that once I'd reach my goal, I'd go get that tattoo. So that's what I'm working for, on top of wanting to feel & look better! So, what's gonna be your treat once you reach that goal of yours? ;)

    I don't reward myself based on how much weight I lose. I reward myself for sticking to my exercise and eating right because I can control that, while I can't control how my body reacts (which hasn't been good lately!).

    Anyway, last time I did a personal challenge, my prize was a professional massage. My "reward" for goal will just be loving how I look in clothes and enjoying shopping again.

    I did mini goals but I have set my ultimate goal too. When I reached my 25 lb goal I did a large Chic-Fil-A peach milkshake on a day I burned so many calories I still had a negative net intake......lol. I have to set another "treat" for the next 25 lbs and then my ultimate goal will only be 15 lbs beyond that. I am thinking a little weekend getaway to just relax, nothing fancy but I am a very busy person and some peace and quiet would be nice.

    Yes!
    I really want a pair of Blogilates yoga pants, so when I've lost a stone (and if I have the money), I'm going to treat myself to those.
    When I hit my goal weight (2st away at the moment), my boyfriend is going to buy me a dress. Yay!

    When I reached the first 20 lbs lost I bought a pair of sunglasses. I plan on maybe buying a small treat every 20 lbs, just to keep the motivation going - aside from looking and feeling awesomely.

    Going out to a nice steak house downtown.

    Yes, I reward myself with food. Arf Arf

    I'm with you too, ladies. CHEESE!!!!

    A mini shopping spree (have a lot of clothes have not worn in awhile that will fit me once I am at goal) and my hair salon gives 1-hour makeup lessons for $45 teaching you how to apply makeup, I am treating myself to that also.

    Jewelry. When I hit my final goal, that's what I would gift myself. For mini-goals, I am happy with little things including clothes. :)

    Yes with a new clothes. I'm looking forward to that. Rewarding yourself with more food. Is never the answer. That was the root of my problem.Peace

    I try to treat myself every day. I treat myself when I workout. Maybe it's the A.D.D. but I need daily positive reinforcement. :tongue:

    ^^^This is how I feel too. I provide myself with positive reinforcement for doing what I need to do. I know that if I keep it up, I'll eventually reach my goal. I just have to do it every day.

    Golly:

    Bloody great tattoo of a big Victorian squid.
    A corset. A proper, boned, expensive and awesome one. I'm thinking Wheels and Doll Baby.
    Getting my teeth whitened!

    And the nerdy one - I'm going to cosplay at a convention. There are no female gaming characters who are even slightly tubby. Probably this fine lady: http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ljtsp1EvVV1qj1mi2o1_500.jpg
