Goal Reward?

JSlattery79

so when I started on this journey I was the heaviest I've ever been without being pregnant.. I'm not done yet.. my goal is to be about 120-125 pounds.. but when I started I had said I would reward myself with 5 chocolate chip cookies when I got to 140.. I'm at 142 so I have 2 pounds to go.. what are ways you all have rewarded yourselves when you hit a goal? gimme some more ideas! thanks!

I buy a piece of clothing that I love and cannot wait to wear that is a size or two too small. When I lose enough weight I get to wear my new clothes and feel great!

Every 10lbs I lose I get a manicure or pedicure, Every 30lbs a 2 hr massage, and I should be getting into "ONEderland" soon, so my co-worker and I are going to the movies to watch Pitch Perfect I try not to reward myself with food, because I can't stop after I have just one chocolate chip cookie.

I got a tattoo when I got to 155lbs. Now I'm 131lbs, but I haven't been giving myself rewards as such. When I hit target, it's just going to be a new wardrobe.

I treated myself to a manicure and a new purse when I lost 10 lbs

I used to use food as a reward, but it kept undoing all my hard work for a loss. Now I reward myself by treating myself to other things like new clothes, mani/pedi, jewelry etc. It's still motivating, but doesn't add those uneccessary extra calories!

Anything but food! My idea of reward to myself would be a spa treatment that I've never had done like a deep clean facial or special skin purication treatment.

For every pound I lose I put money in a tin with a bonus amount for half stone and stone marks and when I'm at my goal I'll buy new clothes.

I can't reward myself with food, part of this learning curve for me is not seeing food as a reward or something to make me feel better.

My reward was to purchase a new pair of running shoes once I lost 25 pounds. I actually ordered them after about 20 pounds, but couldn't wear them until I reached my goal. It was extra motivation to see them hiding in my closet everyday and not be able to wear them. Once I reach my final goal I am going to get a massage!

When I lose another 5lbs (10 total), i will be buying my first item from Victoria's Secret (we just got a store in my city)
After that, it's going to be either clothing, or other non-food items.

I like this!

For 10 pounds I went for a pedicure, at 20 I bought a pair of jeans that was 4 sizes smaller than I started with (they fit!), at 30 I'm doing before and during photos, and I may just take your lead and get my first tattoo when I'm down 50

I'm having some plastic surgery done. Boobs, chin & nose. These are things I've wanted for years. It really has very little to do with reaching my goal... more to do with just a long standing desire to nip & tuck a few things. But I made sure to wait until I hit my weight goal before the breast implants, just so I'd have a clean canvas to work with, so to speak.

My 25% goal gifts are new trainers and an MP3 player (since people will steal your phone if they see you walking with it...ask me how I know...:grumble: )

My 50% goal gift is a bike

My final goal gift is a solo trip. (I'm financing this with the money that I 'pay' myself when I workout. Each workout is worth $1 - it goes into the jar and when I reach my goal weight, I'll use that money to go towards the trip costs.)

Anything but FOOD. LOL

clothes, workout stuff, pampering, vacation.

Never reward yourself with food, you are not a dog!

Clothes and a vacation - somewhere sunny!

When i reach my goal, the family and i are going on a trip to the Bahamas. I've always wanted to go to Atlantis in Paradise Island in the Bahamas.

^ This. I saw a saying going around online..."You are not a dog. Don't reward yourself with food." Now I do things like a new top, a handful of new songs from iTunes to add to my workout playlist, a watch, a new pair of shoes, and so on. I still get something special without having to work extra hard the entire next week to undo damage done from a food-related reward. But, to each their own. Whatever motivates you!

my reward when i hit goal...and keep it off for one full year is these (or something like them)

Thanks! Thinking about how cute and awesome it would be to have a tiny little rib cage tattoo definitely gets my to the gym on days when I don't feel like it!

I have only just started, but I am going to buy myself a beautiful All Saints dress that I tried on a few weeks ago and almost cried in the changing room!!!

To look how I wanted to in that dress, at that time , would be so so nice

I'm off to Croatia in a week but I go for a facial every so often depending on progress.

I really want a pair of Miss me jeans, I'm so not the type to buy expensive clothes for myself, usually always goes to my kidd's, and even then I don't really don't care what brand they are as long as they look nice and last!! So I'm hoping to get to my goal and when I do I will go out and get me a pair!!

I love this, I may have to borrow.
