What are your goal weight rewards?

I was thinking either jewelry or designer jeans (because normally, I would never spend $100+ on a pair of jeans...but hey, it's a reward!).

What are some things you're going to reward yourself with once you hit your goal weight?

    I have this little vintage skirt that I found at a garage sale in high school. It's a black and white houndstooth pattern, and it's pencil-style (eesh! with my hips the way they are, I can't believe I could ever pull that off!). I wore it all the time then, and I still have it. One of my rewards will be to strut my stuff in it, in public, with a cute little pair of shoes. This skirt is probably my favorite item of clothing of all time, but it's been ten years since I wore it last. It's about time!

    1) EASY TONE sneakers (B-day gift in Aug)
    2) ChaLean Extreme or P90X when I hit 20 pounds lost
    3) When I reach my goal a mini vacation (somewhere hot)
    4) When I reach my goal go and try on wedding dresses again to show my mom I can wear my dream dress

    For me it was a whole new wardrobe cause I needed it. DH needed a few new clothes but bought hobby stuff too.

    My husband and I set a one year goal. We set 500 dollars in a pool. In one year (may 1) if you are at your goal wt (close) you get 1/2 the pot. If the other one is more than 5 lbs above it, you get the whole thing. I am hoping for 250!

    Rewarding yourself is great, but I read this article (attached) and it scared the crap out of me and got me excited at the same time. You may enjoy :smile:

    I've been wanting to get another tattoo, on my side, up near my ribs but I can't show it off right now so there's no point in getting it! Once I reach my goal I'll be getting it and I'll be wearing a bikini to show it off!! :D

    I don't have a reward for my goal weight since my weight isn't something I am to worried about getting too but I am running a 5k in July in honor of my uncle who passed away from lung cancer 2 years ago..I already have a cancer ribbon tattoo on my side and I plan on rewarding myself with adding some stuff to it. I love having him with me at all times. or I might just get a whole new one..depends!

    Well designer jeans are a must for sure!!! LOL no more LB right fit red jeans for me - no sir!!! LOL

    Jewelry = absolutely! I actually bought myself a beautiful ring a couple weeks ago to commemorate my journey. It's my starting piece. I have decided that once I am in "1derland" I will reward myself with a ring to symbolize the fact that I will NEVER again have a 2 as the first number of my weight (I don't remember exactly when I hit 200 but I remember very vividly being 14 yes 14 and weighing myself and seeing 214...sigh, it's been a very long time in the 200's!!! So, with that being said, you can bet that my "goal" ring is going to be F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S.!!!!!!!

    I like jewelry because it pretty much can last forever. It is symbolic, and I can pass it on to my daughters (when I start having kids that is!). No matter what happens in life, I can take out these pieces and reflect on the amazing journey I have been on. I have other rings that marked significant times in my life (and necklaces and earrings). When I finished college my mom and dad bought me the most fabulous ring and although I don't wear it very often, whenever I look at it I am reminded of my accomplishment. I hope to give it to my first daughter when she graduates college.... :) Ahhhh can't wait!!!

    I have a few little 'incentives' for when I reach my target:

    My boyfriend intentionally didn't buy me much for my birthday, and when i reach my target weight he's buying me an outfit.
    When i get down to 11st7lbs I'm going to get my hair coloured.

    I was thinking about this earlier, and I hadn't decided on my own reward for getting down to my target weight... I think I've decided on laser eye surgery

    I get a new tattoo when I get to my halfway point...4 pounds to go!! (I've got it picked out already. Yay!)

    When I get to my final goal I'm still not sure what I'll get. I was thinking of treating myself to a spa day. Facial, massage, mani, pedi, etc.

    WHEN I get down to regulation weight, I'll probably have a pretty unsightly skin flap - so... maybe a little nip/tuck.

    Im getting my hair done in a few days to celebrate being able to stick to it. I've been saving $5 a check minimum into a secret "reward stash" that I will take shopping once I get to my goal weight. Im also going to get a tattoo on my hips too

    My reward for reaching goal #1, 170 pounds and 30 pounds lost is a heart rate monitor. I think they'll definitely help me lose the next 30 pounds and since they're pricey it's something I wouldn't buy normally.

    Once I reach 170 pounds, I think I'll set small rewards for myself in 10 pound increments. Altho my goal is to be able to wear a bikini before the pool closes on Labor Day. We'll see if my body is ready for that by then, it's hard to tell right now at 182 pounds what it will look like at 170 or 160. I think if I hit my goal weight of 140, I'm gonna take a vacation to somewhere warm, like a long weekend on a caribbean island, to show off my new body.

    I like rewards and do treat myself to them...but, honestly, having my husband and friends notice that I look good and tell met I have lost weight is such a SWEET feeling, I can't think of anything more great than that!!! I really don't have a good self esteem so hearing these things are huge for me...and out of the 5 love languages...I am "words of affirmation" so that is how I feel loved. just thought I would add that little tidbit :wink:

    Having failed the diet and exercise thing in the past, i knew that the only way to motivate myself was to get others to do it with me. I created a group on facebook with my friends and we all work together to get to our goal weight. once we ALL achieve our goal, we're all gonna take a cruise together to celebrate! i can't wait! I have lost 28 pounds so far, only 52 to go! :)
