From now on I am going to reward myself with seasons of Doctor Who on DVD :heart:

How do you like to reward yourself?

    I LOVE your reward choice! I <3<3 Doctor Who!

    My incremental rewards are mini shopping sprees at local thrift stores, and my big reward is going to be laser hair removal :)

    This is such a good idea! I've never really rewarded myself when I lost even 5 lbs. Maybe looking forward to small rewards will motivate me more to reach my goal. This post has got me thinking of gathering some ideas & making a list.

    Fantastic rewards! I wish I could get my nails done, but I'm not allowed to have them done or painted where I work. :(

    That's exactly how I figured out my cheat meals! I don't do it on a certain day, i do it based on performance. When I lose 5 lbs, I can eat whatever the hell I want.

    I love that idea!

    Hopefully my big reward will be me fitting perfectly into my wedding dress come September! :)

    I feel like I should set up rewards for myself but it is hard to warrant spending the money. When I get to my goal weight I am buying a new wardrobe (I'll have to as I own nothing smaller than a 10 and I hope to be an 8 or a 6). I also plan to get my tattoos...one when I lose my arm jiggle and one when I'm at my goal weight.

    What wonderful ideas! I'm so glad I found this thread.

    While I have a 30-pound goal, I never thought about short-term milestone goals. Now I'm trying to think of non-food, no/low cost ideas. I'll be back to this thread as soon as I come up with some.

    Thanks for the brain stimulation! :happy:

    My only 'reward' that's planned is to get my belly button pierced when I reach my final goal. I will need new clothes too which will be great but I don't really call that a reward, it will be a necessity.

    For every 10 pounds I lose, I buy myself some new makeup or some new art supplies. In another pound, some new makeup will be mine!

    The only material object that I may buy after I get to goal weight would be a full-length mirror. Other than that, meh, success is its own reward.

    Hmmm... if I lose 20lbs, I will go shop for new clothes that I always wanted to wear! So right now, I am not allowing myself to buy any clothes besides work out clothes. :)
