    Well hopefully my reward will be being able to really smash a 100 mile charity bike ride I'm doing in August, and look good doing it.

    And buy more clothes haha!

    I reward myself daily I have a jar that I decorated and each day I exercise and eat right I get to add one dollar to my jar. I love seeing my money build up and when I do I use it for new clothes, pedicures, or a massage. Something fun that I have earned and I try not to reward myself with food I am a food addict lol.

    lol damnit I just made a post about this and didnt see this already long-running one. Sorry!

    My Reward is a bikini. I hope to have made great progress by summer so it fits the timeline. I've actually NEVER worn a bikini so this would be a huge reward for myself. I was always too insecure in the past. (even when I was thin).

    I want to be able to have that awesome picture of myself looking amazing in a bikini to look back on when i'm 70 years old and think "damn I was hot stuff!" lol

    Ideal prize would be a sunny holiday, but seeing as I'm just a lowly intern at the moment it will probably be some new clothes, or possibly a relaxing hotel break somewhere in the country. Then again, who knows where I'll be 12lb from now? :)

    Long term goal- A pair of True Religion Skinny Jeans size 26 & a gold waitband chain! I don't know I envision myself wearing a gold chain around my waist. But I can't wait. I'm a 28 now!
    Short term goals-Pedicures! My feet need "TLC" with all the running I'm doing.

    thats awesome! Yeah when I had to re-do my photo for the first time, I was pregnant and bloated. lol. It was awful. then I did it again shortly after having my son.

    I hope to look awesome in my next photo as well :)

    A trip to Mexico! Not really a reward... but I'm really hoping to hit 195 before we leave on February 24th. 12 more lbs and five weeks!

    The guys I work with gave me $300 in Macy's gift cards for Christmas, so I'm going shopping.
  • Rock climbing classes, and a family photo that I will actually be happy to hand out and display :o)

    I love tattoos and have several but always wanted one on my belly area. So when I loose the 40 lbs I've got hanging around most of which is hanging around my core area, I'm getting a huge on right on my belly!!!
    This is me!!!
    I'm doing something small every 20 pounds (tanning package, pedicure...)
    When I reach my UGW I want a tattoo on my back!

    I bought a CD for going a week being really strict on my diet....needed to break the psychological craves.

    Sticking with the gym habit 5/7 days a week for a month = a Striiv

    Getting to 125 and maintaining for two months is $500 at JCrew (gift card) and spa day.

    NOT DOING THIS AGAIN NEXT YEAR = $1500 for my birthday in Las Vegas in December!

    I love the Workout Jar concept. Hmmm...time to start one!

    Does anyone else have failures? Like, if I don't stick to my gym habit, I owe my husband $1000 for his IRA. And if I can't maintain, we're not going on a dive vacation next year...

    Remind my husband of an old promise to take me to the Space Needle Restaurant wearing a slinky red dress and do the whole princess treatment with limo, theater, jacuzzi room at some swanky hotel. Will he come through.....that remains to be seen. But I agree with whoever said the shopping for new wardrobe is more of a necessity than a reward. Going to the sale at Freddy's tonight to try to find a cute black skirt to go with the blouse my mom got me for Christmas so I can wear it. None of my black skirts will stay on me anymore....which is good but annoying when replacement budget is limited. But one skirt and maybe another pair of pants would be nice and shouldn't kill the pocketbook if I find a good sale on them. I'm down to one pair of jeans, some red velour thing that only works at certain times with certain outfits and a pair of black stretchy knit pants....nothing really dressy.

    Scuba lessons! So, if you think about it, my reward is a new way to exercise. ^_^ I got a taste of scuba when I was 13 and have always wanted to do it again. But the timing was never right, then money was tight, then I pictured myself in a wetsuit. Scary!!! Those things are not flattering on the best of bodies. lol

    Only 20 more pounds, I should be able to get there by summer. Yea!
  • My husband used to reward himself with a huge meal, well guess what, he gained the weight back pretty quickly.

    My reward is that my clothes fit comfortably again and I don't get scared when I look in the mirror. I definitely do NOT reward myself with food.

    Good luck everyone!

    Crazy as it sounds, I want a tattoo. Dunno what or where, but if and when I get there I think it would be a cool way to celebrate a long, rewarding journey.

    Yup!! My reward is a Hawaii vacation with my husband (minus the kids) - cannot wait! My "punishment"? Alaska in the dead of winter... I'm going to be working hard to keep my butt from freezing next year!!! haha

    Once I reach my goal weight, I am planning a massive shopping spree! :D

    Another "reward" I have planned is running a 5K! I'm doing C25K right now and am signed up for my first 5K in March. It will be extremely rewarding to cross that finish line!

    I've already told my H we are going to the carribean once I hit my goal weight ... I will be thin enough then to rock a bikini and I intend to :)
  • My wife is dieting too, so we reward ourselves weekly by knocking off an exercise day, or getting a tasty treat.

    My reward at the end will be to compete in and hopefully complete a Tough Mudder course.
