Hey Everyone!
I'd like to get some ideas for what other people have rewarded themselves with after hitting certain milestones. I feel like I've been doing this for quite some time now (7 months), but without having any real goals to hit besides being in my sister's wedding in July.
I'm wondering what people do to reward themselves for smaller milestones? I'm thinking/hoping that this will make the weight loss more "real" too, at least in my head.
The next one I'm trying to hit is 40 lbs! Suggestions?

Clothes (If I've gone down a size). Spa day! Anything that will make you feel good about yourself!
The main one when I've reached my goal weight is having my bedroom redecorated.(I'm saving up for it.
)

Yes, I also love shopping! But sometimes I don't want to buy too many news things while I'm "in progress".
But actually recently my dad bought me new actually cute exercise clothes so I feel better when I'm working out for my 30 lb mark. Makes me feel better in the gym!0 -
Since I have a girlfriend and 3 kids.. I spend my "Reward" money on them...
But I did buy myself a backwards compatible PS3.. if that counts...0 -
What about a vacation?0

I've never been able to figure this out, all the "reward" type things I can think of are things I do any way LOL. But if you don't already do these things, how about something to pamper yourself at different intervals? Mani/pedi, facial, massage, etc?0

My husband is planning on taking me to a hotel getaway with a day-spa!!
I'm so excited!! I've always been one to get mani/pedis. But nothing this extravagant.

I like setting rewards that make me feel more confident. When I hit 25 lbs, I plan on getting my ears pierced. I haven't decided my 50 lb mark reward yet. My 90 lb reward is getting my teeth professionally whitened (expensive but wonderful reward!).0

I weigh in weekly and I usually set goals like, if I lose X amount of weight this week, I will buy Y. My current "Y" is a bracelet to go with my new watch.
For bigger goals I have bigger rewards. When I lose 10 lbs. I'm buying myself a new pair of nude pumps. At 20, an even more expensive gift.
I don't like rewarding with clothes or food. Too much room for error or guilt.0 -
I echo the clothes comment. As you lose, you can always buy clothes off of ebay or at secondhand stores, but I buy new work out clothes usually! Now that I'm down to a tight (hopefully becoming loose!) medium, I figure they'll be clothes I actually wear for awhile0

Dancing... it is how my boyfriend and I met and I LOVE to go, the smaller I get, the more cute clothes I fit into, the more i want to go out Dancing!!0

The intrinsic value of crushing my enemies, seeing them driven before me, and hearing the lamentations of the women is reward enough.0
-
mac/too faced makeup (expensive to me)
salon hair color (maybe)
new, cute clothes
new shoes (being bigger, cute shoes don't often feel good to me)
natural rewards:
feeling great
looking my age or younger
more money in my pocket (and not at the restaurant)
** I'd also like to go on a really fun trip in the fall, if I'm done by then!0 -
I have smaller to larger rewards:
movie night
new book
new nail polish
new bath supplies-body lotions, etc
manicure/nails
pedicure
new jeans
new boots
massage
cooking class
new clothes
IPad or Kindle HD
short trip - FINAL!0 -
I've told myself I am going to upgrade my phone when I get to my next mark (about 11 more pounds). Yes, it's something I would probably eventually do anyways, but it's kind of fun to come up with ideas. Ones I've done in the past have been to download new music, get new shoes, new clothes...just small non-food rewards0

shopping has to be new clothes!!0

An hour plus long massage (spa day) would be sooo awesome!0

When I dropped below 300 (for the first time in about 30 years) I bought myself a pet fish. A Betta.0
