I just started losing weight a few weeks ago, and I'm trying to think of rewards for myself that aren't food related when I reach weight loss goals. What are YOUR rewards for yourself when you reach checkpoints?

    Since I lost my Ipod (It was stolen really) my rewards have changed.

    160 = 4th Gen Ipod (I'm 1lb away, and this WAS going to be when I got my hair dyed blonde until someone stole my ipod >:( )
    150= Ipod speakers for bathroom :)
    145 = Trip to Eugene to talk to a tattoo artist about the tattoo I want on my ankle
    140= My ankle tattoo
    135 = Not sure yet
    130 =Start serious shopping for Wedding Dress
    125= Not sure yet
    120 = Hopefully buy wedding dress!

    Haven't really rewarded myself at all during this process, so I definitely plan to get a few things that I want/need soon since i'm closing in on goal.

    190 - New phone (Samsung Galaxy S3,hopefully)
    & probably some new running shoes.

    175 to 180 (Not sure where my final goal weight will be yet) - A new Remote Start/keyless entry system for my car
    & a new wardrobe of course

    Goal 150=Southern Caribbean Cruise (this has been planned for a while so it's really my motivation)

    First milestone I bought myself some new clothes. Don't know how much of a reward it was, more like a necessity so I didn't look like a hobo.

    Next milestone was a fitbit and some workout gear 'cause now I can actually more around a little bit and want to be comfortable/cool while I do it!

    being healthy is the main goal.
    new clothes will have to be bought obviously.

    no rewards though. i'm not a fricking dog.

    It's great you are looking for non food rewards. I was really big on that (and really big). I still have to keep chanting to myself, "You are not a dog, you do not get food when you are good!"

    I don't have mini goal rewards, I find just getting there is reward enough for me. But I do have final rewards a couple pairs of shoes that I love, a yellow dress, and a tattoo that my friend drew.
    I have pictures of the shoes and dress I plan to get in my profile.

    My final reward will be a hang gliding trip. I am still deciding on smaller things. I love reading some of the ideas people have.

    I make it for every 20 lbs, I can buy whatever I want(not clothing)it could be perfume, a haircut or color, nails done, or cosmetics.

    When I hit 50-60 lbs,I will buy smaller clothing.
    When I hit my goal weight(167lbs) I am going off to a cruise the Caribbean. I definitely need to work more.

    I like going thrift shopping. I am doing the Venus Index Workouts and they are in cycles of 4 weeks. Every 4 weeks I go to the local thrift store and pick up some cool hipster clothing for myself!

    Ok so I have received a couple of rewards already.....for the first 10 pound lost i got a new biggest loser workout dvd, and for staying committed so well hubby rewarded my efforts with a new pair of athletic shoes, which i really needed if i wanted to be able to exercise much more. the old shoes were shot. but my biggest reward will be when i get to my goal weight, renewing our wedding vows with a real wedding type ceremony.....

    clothes clothes clothes, always new clothes. I'm trying not to buy anymore clothes until I loose this last 7lbs and hit my goal... then I'm going a bit nutty. Honestly I even need new shoes! Mine are all too loose. I'm also ordering a retro style bikini and getting my hair done.
