  • I have a jar and every time I have a good work out, I put a dollar in, or however much I can afford. When I reach my goal I'll use it for a shopping spree!

    awesome ideas...


    Ive been rewarding my workouts by riding my stationary bike during doctor who on saturday nights.

    -5lbs new skirt at goodwill
    -10 lbs buy a book
    -15 lbs new bathing suit
    -20 lbs buy an outdoor bike. or a gym membership
    -30 lbs - finally start thinking about having our 3rd child. (at risk for diabetes right now...need to lose the weight so the kid is healthier too.)

    As mentioned on another thread, every 7lb off I have a Panini for lunch (I'm soooo cheap!)

    Clothes I don't worry about as I still have loads from when I was putting all the weight on though when I do reach goal I will treat myself to a leather Barbour motorcycle jacket as I've wanted one for a while, Didn't seem to be much point in getting one while I was fat as it has a belt but I didn't have a waist lol

    This inspired me to make a list of rewards for myself. Currently I'm at about 210lbs, with a goal of 150 (5'10). Here's what I have so far:
    When I reach…
    205 lbs. I will enjoy a milkshake.
    200 lbs. I will buy a new set of gauges. ($20)
    195 lbs. I will go out to dinner.
    190 lbs. I will take a 3-day weekend.
    185 lbs. I will buy sexy lingerie.
    180 lbs. I will get my nails done.
    175 lbs. I will buy myself a present.
    170 lbs. I will get a small tattoo.
    165 lbs. I will visit my family in NJ.
    160 lbs. I will go on a shopping spree because NONE of my clothes will fit anymore.
    155 lbs. I will take a day off, rent a fancy Zipcar and drive somewhere by myself. (Maybe Walden Pond if it's still nice weather)
    150 lbs. I will get a big tattoo and a bikini (even if it's winter.)

    I set a 50 pound goal of a tattoo i have wanted for about 10 years but could not rationalize away the cost. (She is in my ticker)

    Once I get to my final goal - that of being fit enough to wear a two piece bathing suit in public, I think I will get vision correction surgery so I can get rid of my glasses.

    Great reward, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Doctor Who! I've been using my old 'skinny' clothes as a reward so far, but pretty soon I'm going to have to come up with a new system, love reading everyone else's ideas!

    When I break 140 (hopefully in the next couple weeks!) I'm getting a sexy red/black lace dress that I can rock in Vegas this summer :3

    I go in 10 pound increments. I reward myself by buying a piece of the depression glass pattern I collect off ebay. When I get to goal I'm going to buy the milk pitcher, which is the most expensive item in the set.

    Mine is more for when I hit my goal weight.
    2 rewards:

    Tattoo on my lower stomach
    Clothes, clothes and more clothes. I have $100 to VS I am ready to spend as soon as I hit my goal weight! :bigsmile:
  • I will stash $50 in the pot to buy whatever I want without first asking myself if I feel guilty! I am thinking I will try those fake eyelashes that I keep seeing on groupon! :)
