Hi guys,

I'm coming up to my first major milestone (7 and a half stone (105lbs/47.63kg). Just four more pounds and I really want to celebrate this achievement. Any ideas? I'm not scared of having food as part of my celebration.

Thanks in advance :)

    Clothes! Not just cheap temporary clothes. Get a pair of jeans you feel like you rock in.

    Events, especially ones with an emphasis on your new lifestyle. I don't know what they do in the UK, but there are a lot of fun 5ks here. Color Run, Zombie Run, etc. It doesn't have to be a health emphasis though. Theaters, concerts, sporting events where you cheer like an idiot and allow yourself a celebratory beer.

    Upgrade your gym membership? I went to a sort of bare bones gym. Upgraded to one with a pool and different classes to celebrate 50 pounds lost.

    There's lots of stuff you can do that won't be a slice of cheesecake.

    New workout clothes that fit your new physique properly :) it's a nice splurge for yourself but its also something practical as well.

    congrats on the weight loss and milestone goal!!

    I'll tell you what you shouldn't do. You shouldn't choke out a stripper.

    You're welcome in advance.

    Eat a whole cake!! (lol NO)

    Clothes definitely sounds awesome...

    Either that or try something new you haven't ever done before. Sky diving or Parachuting if you're really brave... or even rock climbing or something else really physical you wouldn't have been able to do before. Both a celebration AND a testimony of how far you have come! :)

    New clothes is a great idea! My plan when I reach my goal, besides new clothes is another tattoo. You should definitely do something special. You've worked hard and you deserve it!

    I like to buy a new workout gadget or clothes to keep me focused on my workouts.

    My big goal this year is to finish a marathon, I'm going to celebrate by getting a tattoo I really want! For smaller goals I've been rewarding myself by buying a new sports bra or getting a message.
