    Being the only guy to post here - my goals are a bit backwards. When I hit certain goals in lifting - I go out to eat =) Something special!

    My goal is to lose 40 lbs, I have 31 more to go. I have a list of rewards and am going to pick from them each 5 lbs I lose depending on my mood that day: New panties (for my 1st 5 last week), book, massage, mani/pedi, makeup, CD/DVD, shoes, perfume, etc..... But when I reach my goal weiight : Lasik on my eyes, so I can see how great I look, LOL>....

    I'm not doing weight loss goals but once I finish 30DS (and 45 miles of walking/running) I'm getting new running shoes. If I sign up and finish the 5k in April my friend keeps bugging me about, I'll have to find another treat for myself.

    Oh Roxgrl - LASIK is SUCH a life changer! What a great tie in to do at your goal weight!

    I have tiny 5lb rewards, like a Redbox rental (we have cable wtih premium channels, and a DVR, so it's not like we're dying for things to watch), or a cheapie Blistex lip balm.

    At 35 pounds though I'm planning a trip to the Nike employee store. LOVE that place, and by the time I've lost 35 pounds, nothing I've bought there previously will fit me anymore. I find that I do WAY better at working out if I feel good about what I'm wearing.

    ohhh I love non-food rewards!!!

    Once I hit my goal weight (about 5lbs to go), mind you I started out at 181 and am at 140 today, I am going to splurge on a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes. I've always wanted a pair!!!
    oooh nice!

    My rewards will include not getting diabetes or osteoporosis.

    And probably a really cute bathing suit without a "come to Jesus" self-talk in front of the dressing room mirror. :laugh:

    My rewards MUST be motivating. If it's not going to motivate me to lose more weight or be healthy, it's not a reward.
    Massage is a must... not a reward

    Running shoes (your feet do change as you lose weight)
    new sports bras
    exercise gear
    dumbells
    weighted medicine ball
    weighted bar
    new mats for my exercise room
    new music!!!!!

    When i get to 70 kgs its going to be a small jar of nutella and i'm baking chef chloes chocolate cake.
    I know i shouldn't use food rewards but i love nutella and i like to bake. I will be slicing the cake up and freezing individual portions, so its not like i'm going to pig out.
    When i get to 15 % body fat i'm getting a bikini . .....
    And i will be rocking that next xmas in Oz

    hitting my actual goal is sort of a reward for me in itself.. like confirmation that i have been doing the right thing, so i am 'rewarded' by being super happy week and extra motivated to keep going. lol. im weird.

    I haven't really thought about little rewards for myself but it's never too late to start, right? :)

    For every 10 pounds I lose, I could reward myself.

    10 pounds- Special Valentine's Dinner with my love <3
    20 pounds- Treat myself to a new craft project
    30 pounds- Frozen yogurt... :) YUM!
    40 pounds- New purse :)
    50 pounds- Olive Garden <3
    60 pounds- Buy a pair of diamond studs (Oooooo)
    70 pounds- A new pair of running shoes for the Susan Komen Breast Cancer 5K run!!!! Wooohoooo!
    80 pounds- New tattoo
    90 pounds- Shopping for new clothes!
    100 pounds!!!!- Take a trip with my love <3

    Wow! I just motivated myself even more! :)

    For every 25 I lose, I'll buy myself a new dress or top or some clothing item or maybe get a mani-pedi or something. Next May I am planning a Hawaiian cruise, so that will be my big treat to myself - this also keeps me on track knowing that I need to have a good swimsuit body by next May! LOL
