    I'm getting pretty close to my goal weight (12 lbs away), and I've been sticking with the tattoo theme as well by wanting to finish off my sleeve. BUT, I don't think that I'm going to get it once I hit my goal... I want to maintain for a year before getting this treat for myself. The shopping spree will definitely need to come quickly though! :bigsmile:

    I'm not 100% sure what my final goal weight is. I know where I've looked good in the past, but I think I can do better.

    So...I'm giving myself little gifts as I hit milestones. For sticking to my diet this week and exercising all 7 days, it is a new HR monitor! Only 3 days to go!

    When I am smoking hot, I think a trip to the beach in a teeny bikini might be in order.

    I have no plans to treat or reward myslef when I reach my goal. I am fine with doing what I should merely for the satisfaction of doing it. I am not a 3rd grader nor a pet. And I only have ever had about 10 vanity pound to lose-so it's not a big deal...

    Now getting to where I'm lifting weights and exercising more is actually a bigger goal! Which will be rewarded with being stronger and healthier.

    I have bought a load of clothes which are a little snug now but will look fantastic when I am at goal! I am also going to get a tattoo on my hip which I have wanted for years!
    Hey, I might even save for a holiday since I will be able to wear a bikini without feeling self conscious for once!

    Not necessarily food-wise, but I've been wanting a guitar tattoo on my forearm for years and I told myself that once I'd reach my goal, I'd go get that tattoo. So that's what I'm working for, on top of wanting to feel & look better! So, what's gonna be your treat once you reach that goal of yours? ;)

    I don't reward myself based on how much weight I lose. I reward myself for sticking to my exercise and eating right because I can control that, while I can't control how my body reacts (which hasn't been good lately!).

    Anyway, last time I did a personal challenge, my prize was a professional massage. My "reward" for goal will just be loving how I look in clothes and enjoying shopping again.

    I did mini goals but I have set my ultimate goal too. When I reached my 25 lb goal I did a large Chic-Fil-A peach milkshake on a day I burned so many calories I still had a negative net intake......lol. I have to set another "treat" for the next 25 lbs and then my ultimate goal will only be 15 lbs beyond that. I am thinking a little weekend getaway to just relax, nothing fancy but I am a very busy person and some peace and quiet would be nice.

    Yes!
    I really want a pair of Blogilates yoga pants, so when I've lost a stone (and if I have the money), I'm going to treat myself to those.
    When I hit my goal weight (2st away at the moment), my boyfriend is going to buy me a dress. Yay!

    When I reached the first 20 lbs lost I bought a pair of sunglasses. I plan on maybe buying a small treat every 20 lbs, just to keep the motivation going - aside from looking and feeling awesomely.

    Going out to a nice steak house downtown.

    A mini shopping spree (have a lot of clothes have not worn in awhile that will fit me once I am at goal) and my hair salon gives 1-hour makeup lessons for $45 teaching you how to apply makeup, I am treating myself to that also.

    Jewelry. When I hit my final goal, that's what I would gift myself. For mini-goals, I am happy with little things including clothes. :)

    Yes with a new clothes. I'm looking forward to that. Rewarding yourself with more food. Is never the answer. That was the root of my problem.Peace

    I try to treat myself every day. I treat myself when I workout. Maybe it's the A.D.D. but I need daily positive reinforcement. :tongue:

    ^^^This is how I feel too. I provide myself with positive reinforcement for doing what I need to do. I know that if I keep it up, I'll eventually reach my goal. I just have to do it every day.

    Golly:

    Bloody great tattoo of a big Victorian squid.
    A corset. A proper, boned, expensive and awesome one. I'm thinking Wheels and Doll Baby.
    Getting my teeth whitened!

    And the nerdy one - I'm going to cosplay at a convention. There are no female gaming characters who are even slightly tubby. Probably this fine lady: http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ljtsp1EvVV1qj1mi2o1_500.jpg
