    I reward myself every single day by letting go of everything but that which makes me or moves me towards the strongest version of myself. I start every single day by breathing deep, smiling and then saying these words: "Today, like every day, is an opportunity to achieve your goals, fulfil your true purpose, forge an unforgettable future and be truly happy."

    I get called a quack by my friends, but I am one happy ****ing quack!

    Ok, took a minute to think of something other than food to reward myself with when I hit my goals. You know that's very hard to do these days.

    15 lbs - Sneakers
    25 lbs - Kindle Fire or other tablet
    40 lbs- New clothing
    50 lbs- Bracelet
    60 lbs- Pendant & Chain
    70 lbs- Diamond Earrings
    80 lbs- Sexy Clothing
    90 lbs- Island Trip
    Ultimate Goal of 100 lbs- Motorcycle

    There are not nearly enough totally shallow comments, so I will provide! I said at 20 lbs. I would have a piece of lemon meringue pie. When it was sitting in front of me, I couldn't do it! All that work, I can't just eat this! It really wasn't that big, but I split it with my husband and enjoyed it! At 25 lbs. I had set a piece of key lime pie for a reward. I ate the whole thing and loved it. At 30, not sure, I've got the whole pie thing out of my system. :-)

    I LOVE this!!! What a wonderful attitude!

    I'm ashamed to report that my "reward" for attaining weight loss and lifestyle goals is considerably more shallow... a pair of **freaking expensive*** LuluLemon yoga pants. :blushing: ...but not 'til I hit the 15-pounds-lost finish-line!

    i have a LOT of weight to lose, so the total was really daunting when I started. I broke it down in 5 pound increments to keep myself motivated. At 10 pounds lost I got a charm bracelet, and will get a charm for each 10 off - I have my 30 pound charm ordered from Amazon now! For the in-between 5 pounds I get things like a pedicure or a facial. At 25 I got new shoes. It's all mapped out.....when I reach my goal my husband has been notified that he is taking me on an Alaska cruise....no matter what it takes for us to pay for it!

    You know, I hadn't really thought about rewards for attaining my ultimate goal. I guess at this moment it's a new wardrobe ($$ willing!) and just knowing I'm gonna rock the beach with my new body!

    I set my goals small--10 lbs at a time--and go for non-food rewards such as a new pair of skinny jeans or a pretty shirt, which I usually need anyway by the time I've lost 10-15 lbs. So far I've lost about 25 lbs total (I started losing before I joined MFP) and had a couple of fun mini-shopping sprees. Dropped 3 pants sizes and went from large to medium in shirts--that's MOTIVATING!

    I started at 426 and today I am 324. 102 pounds. My caring husband bought me my dream reward, a bike. Now I am cruising down our country roads in the fall. All 6'3" 324 pounds of me. People better move. :)Rewards are important and so fun.

    Just waiting until I wean my daughter, and can find the best artist, but going to be getting a full back piece. I rewarded myself week by week for sticking with it with lots of workout clothes, and new tunes once every couple weeks.

    All very cool ideas. I have to admit that I have actually lost 20 lbs not 3. And I have not rewarded myself yet. I wish I could though. The best reward that I have had so far is being able to look in the mirror and go where did it all go? lol I look at my pictures on facebook and can't believe I use to look like I did. I mean I had been over weight for most of my life and now I am fitting into clothes that I bought when I was a teenager, you know that time when you are trying to fit into smaller clothes that make you look bad, and i look great now.

    and for wobbspsl are looking for someone to draw up a pic for your back piece? I LOVE to draw. you can message me if you want.

    And for everyone else you are still inspiring me to really think about other rewards that are there. I have been so focused on getting a tattoo of a weeping willow tree on my arm, but there is so much more like being happy with what I have done in my weight loss. So thank you

    When I reach 145 (don't ask me why I chose this number instead of my halfway mark which is 148, haha, I thought about changing it but I was like, no I already said 145 I am not changing it! haha) I am buying myself some new work out clothes from Victoria Secret or somewhere fairly 'high end'
    At my final goal I am getting my belly button re-pierced. I had it done a while back but was always too fat to show it off. Then I lost all the top balls off of them and it grew over. Once I reach my goal weight I should be able to show it off anytime I want!!
