in Motivation and Support
I have just set a new goal for myself and I think the reward will be a great pusher. I have decided if I can lose 50 pounds by next June I am going to get my whole shoulder tattooed. It is something that I have wanted for a long time but I have never felt comfortable enough with my upper arms to wear tank tops. If I had a beautiful tattoo on my shoulder I would definitely want to show it off. So in order for that to happen I need to lose weight. I am currently at 201 pounds. I think I would be my most comfortable at 150 pounds so that is my reward to myself.

What are your motivational rewards?

    I'm also aiming to be 145-150. My reward will be a belly ring :)

    Mine is almost always clothing :P I have two reward systems in life, I get tattooed when I get through a crisis, and I get clothing when I lose weight! When I get to my goal weight (or goal size, whichever comes first!) I'm buying a galaxy printed dress. I'm also just really looking forward to losing weight in general because it means I'll be able to show off my 3/4 sleeve tattoo without being embarrassed about my flabby arms, so that's a reward in itself!

    I have always wanted to get by belly button pierced but always thought that it wouldn't look good with me being overweight. I also always thought that a tattoo around my belly button would be cool to. Probably just go with the ring though. I don't know how my skin is going to react to weight loss. So far so good but I have a ways to go before I'm even in one-derland. Keep up the great work everyone, and remember, this didn't happen overnight and its not going to go away over night eitherl. :heart:

    When I reach my goal weight, I'm immediately going to treat myself to a photo shoot with a professional photographer! Already planning outfits, lol. I'm thinking pin up girl motif. ;)

    I never thought about it this way before, but I did get a full back piece tattoo after living through a major crisis/crappy time several years ago. And I always get myself new workout clothes when I drop some weight. I do enjoy the idea that I can show off the tattoo a little more when I'm in good shape. :)

    My weight loss rewards/goals are every 10 pounds I lose I do a photo shoot with one of my friends who is a photographer. A big goal of mine is to be able to model the chainmaille bikinis and costumes that I make for display on my deviantart gallery and website and this reward caters to that goal. Also when I can do pull ups and chin ups I am going to take pole dancing classes! I've always wanted to but always felt too fat and that I didn't have enough body strength to be graceful or proficient at any of the postures (or whatever they might be called). I have lots of goals so hopefully I will get lots of rewards out of losing weight and body building!

    Like, I wanna go to a beach and see the ocean for the first time, but I don't want any negative body image issues to make it less of an awesome experience. And about a million other small but personally significant things.

    I'm not the tattoo type, so I'm currently working toward a reward of new black boots for fall.

    For my halfway mark I will get a haircut and dye it a darker brown colour. When I reach my ultimate goal weight, I want to go on a jean shopping spree :)

    My daughter has decided to draw my tattoo for me. I am thinking some bright flowers and butterflies on my shoulder. Gladiolas (I think I spelled that wrong) are the flower for the month of August which is when I was born. They come in a variety of colors and are really pretty. Add some butterflies to that. I think it will turn out really nice.
