A friend and I are in this together. She wants to find a non-food item to reward ourselves for meeting some smaller goals (ie. 15 lbs, etc)

Does anyone have any suggestions for us?

    When I lose 50 lbs, I am getting myself a pair of gold hoop earrings that I have had my eye on at a local jewelers.

    Oh, that's good. And, it wouldn't have to be the same reward for both of us...........we could choose our own.........I like that idea~!

    jewelry - take up a hobby you've always wanted to do....a friend of mine and I are looking into taking quilting classes or learning a language (rosetta stone or something). I also recently got myself a sewing machine and a desk to put it on (to go along with the quilting classes, and to try to shorten my daughters pants more easily, etc.) Replace your purse...

    The girls at work and I are trying to lose 10% by April 1 (we started in September). We're going to try to find something reward ourselves - we haven't decided yet what it's going to be - but it can be either together or separate, we're still talking about the possibilities and trying to get excited about what we might be able to do.

    Ooooh I too love the charm bracelet!! I just got a pandora bracelet for Christmas from my mommy and it has three charms so far...

    Oh yeah, your question. I think good rewards are things like a mani/pedi, new haircut, a bag or clothing item, new make up.. I think the rewards that make you feel pretty are the best. I also like the bath salt type idea :)

    A friend of mine who was on a journey to lose a very significant amount of weight, rewarded herslf with a variety of items based on the progress. The most significant was a new JEEP when she lost 100 pounds, and a small lady-like tatoo for achieving different levels.
