I am planning on getting a tattoo on my ribs when I reach my goal of meeting and maintaining for a year 140 lbs. Got me wondering if others have rewards planned for their big goals and what they are.

    since my total goal is 129 pounds off, it will probably be some new clothes that fit. :)

    I want a rib tattoo too. I'm also going to cut my hair, right now I can sit on it. I may change my mind about that one. I have become slightly attached.

    My BIG reward for meeting my goal will probably be a shopping spree for clothes that fit, but now that I think of it a photo shoot with some of those new clothes would be a better idea.

    I have 95 more lbs to go and when I reach it, I told my husband we are taking our kids on a Disney cruise.

    A trip to Ireland. Want to go now but I refuse to go as the stereotypical "fat American."

    I have a good friend that had to move to Alabama in 2011 for her job. I went to visit her once in 2012, I weighed about 300lbs. I joined MFP on January 1 2013...I am currently at 239LBS. (I was at 280 when I joined), She knows nothing about this at all, we just chat on the phone and facebook occasionally.
    Every year in July we meet at Hilton Head, SC for a week at her Aunts Timeshare.....My goal is to be under 200, even if its 199, when we meet.....It is not a purchase or anything like that...BUT It will be one mammoth reward to see her face when I step outta my car!.

    45 lbs from now I am going to go to LuluLemon and go on a shopping spree. Seems like a long ways away, though!

    I have hated having my photo taken for so many years, that I am going to treat myself to a photo shoot, of just me! May have a few boudoir shots done too - for the husband as a reward for his great support ;) 13 lbs to go!!!

    My reward is to go out and buy a very nice gown/dress (one of the ones that is slender. I've never been able to wear one due to being overweight. I always thought they were so beautiful). I will also be getting my hair done. While I'm doing that my husband will be getting dressed up, and then we will be going out to a dinner theater near my house. I'm super excited for that wonderful date night with my husband!!

    Yup! I'm going to Electric Forest Festival 2013 in Rothbury, MI, to dance and jam to music for 4 days and nights, at the end of June and I'ma be slimmer than I've been since Rothbury Music Festival 2008. :)
    Hooping is so much easier in skinny shirts. It'll be good to be back into my good clothes again.

    I knew early on that once a dropped around 300 pounds I was going to need some intervention so my reward was a circumferential body lift which I successfully had done (surgeon removed 17 lbs. of loose skin) 6 months ago... Best money I ever spent.. (Or should I say will be paying off over the next couple years! lol) ...... Buying my first pair of Levi's runs a pretty close second (Had not been able to wear jeans in over 12-14 years.....)
