I bought a dress in the size that I'll wear when I reach my goal. I love it, but can't wear it until I drop the weight.0
-
When I hit the 35 pound mark, I treated myself to a massage. Much better than junk food any day!0
-
Sorry for any repeats:
New workout gear
New "fun" shoes
New outfit
New bag
Fun jewelry - Maybe the earrings at one goal, the matching necklace at another, then a bracelet?
Tickets to an event
A massage
Mani/Pedi0 -
A massage.0

I treat myself to an expensive lipstick that I love but wouldn't ordinarily buy due to cost; usually I get the $7 drugstore brands but for a reward I get Estee Lauder or Lancome (love the scent, colors, texture, and case, very splurgey).
You have a great idea to find non-food rewards for yourself, and map them out so you can look forward to them! Best of luck on your very successful journey.0 -
I want to buy a new pair of jeans.... hey you should think about getting a manicure or pedicure; I just got one, it was intense since I've never had one, and it's not really for any weight loss, but I think it would be a nice thing to do. I think they make me feel like a model (am I too country to think that? ) haha!0

A massage and a pedicure are always nice treats!0
-
For a big reward, maybe even take a day off of work to go to the spa! Or not take time off, but time is a great reward in my book0

When I hit the 25 down mark, I got my nails done. It was such a great self esteem booster for me. When I hit 50, my friend/weight loss "coach" purchased a gift certificate for me to get my hair cut/colored. I set my appointment for June 7th, still have about 5 lbs more to lose before hitting the big 5-0 Lost. No clue what I'm doing for 75 down just yet.0

A Board game would be great for me.... www.boardgamegeek.com I would like to get Sentinels of the multiverse! or Agricola or maybe the Star trek deck building game. Maybe something active you wouldn't normally go for, Fencing class for me!
Or you know shoes, or maybe a kettlebell? Ipod? Sign up for a 5 k run? Yoga pants?0 -
Mani/pedi
Get your hair done
New shoes
New makeup (lipstick, foundation, mascara...whatever)
New (better) moisturizer...for your face or your body -- I mention body lotion because I read an article that said when you lose weight you have the extra skin, right? if you exfoliate and moisturize well, it will help to tighten that skin
Spa day - facial and/or massage0 -
pedicure
I also treated myself to some clothes that I really liked.0 -
There were lots of clothing rewards for me. For the big ones.....50....100....150.....175 i did tattoos. i had lost a total of 192lbs and now i'm back here.... i'm not rewarding myself for something i already rewarded myself for before. when i hit my final goal i want another tattoo. it's going to be a cupcake with "370" written by it on my inner right wrist. to remind me every time i try to raise food to my mouth i will see it and remember that it was that that got me up to 370lbs.0

Sorry for repeats, but my personal preferences are:
1. Massage
2. A nice dress
3. Pants ( immensely satisfying to buy pants in a smaller size)
4. Take a healthy cooking class0 -
At about 50lb go to Victoria's Secret (or somewhere better) to get refit for new bras and underwear. I "think" that's about where you'll need them. It should also give you a nice confidence boost to be wearing "sexy" underwear.0

I think I'm going to buy a bracelet (Pandora type) and add a bead each time I lose weight and/or have a significant NSV! I'm looking forward to looking at beads and remembering why I got each one
Extra bonus: having a tangible item to connect to your weight loss would be a nice, gentle reminder to help keep it off.0 -
i love the pandora idea!!! next check im heading to the jewelry store.im such a jewelry girl,dunno why i didnt think of it first :-)0
-
Pedicure/manicure
a new hairstyle to go with your new look
gym membership, or a new fitness class
a trip to the beach, or pool to show off your new bod0 -
Sport socks, a cute little belt pack for my phone, ear buds, clothes. Entry into a 5K and pictures of myself for a shadow box. How about a quick portrait package of yourself when you hit a really big goal?0
-
I got a charm bracelet for my first ten pounds, and am adding a charm each time I hit another ten. It's beautiful and jangly now - and I can't wait for it to be really full! I wear it a lot....it's a fantastic reminder.0
