Rewards?

Pearsquared

What kinds of ways do you guys reward yourselves for meeting a certain goal (whether it's a scale-goal or a NSV)? Or, is meeting that goal enough of a reward in itself?

I have a set of rewards for each ten pounds lost until my goal. I had two rules for setting my rewards: They couldn't be food-related, and they couldn't decrease my activity level (so no video games even though I wanted them so badly).

Mainly, it's makeup, accessories, and clothes, although I have kitchen/bath stuff in there as well.

Honestly, I think that meeting the goal is more satisfying but when I am in progress and working towards my goal, these rewards are a nice motivation.

I reward myself with new workout clothes ... I swear I now have more workout attire than work clothes. I've got 3 tattoos planned, 2 happening within the next month, and a large one planned for the fall.

The new workout clothes give me the motivation to keep pushing hard, and I love breaking in the new clothes with a heavy dose of sweat. The tattoos have actually been in the works for years - I was about to get the first of the planned ones when I found out I was pregnant with my eldest.

Haha, that's actually a good idea. I have a pair of yoga pants that are now too loose, so I should get another pair once I hit 160 (which is a half-pound away!).

Once I lose 14 pounds I'm going to treat myself with a new tattoo that I have wanted for ages now! So excited to get there and it definitely motivates me to keep losing

I don't do rewards. The numbers on the tape measure, scale and clothing tags, and especially how I look and feel, are my greatest rewards right now. My biggest motivation is the grandchildren I wil have someday. My desire is to be able to run and play with them - that will be my greatest reward in the future.

I see nothng wrong with rewarding yourself, I just haven't found anything thta motivates me more than the future grandkids!

My final reward is going to be getting a tattoo I have wanted for a very long time.

Mini-rewards thus far have been a brand new outfit as I go down a size.... most of the clothes I purchase are from thrift shops.
