What are you going to do when you succeed?

Not if, when, you get to your goal weight, how are you going to, or how did you, celebrate?

I plan to get a tattoo. I've wanted one for quite awhile, but didn't want to get one while heavy. Some part of me always knew I wanted to get fit, and I know what happens to tattoos when skin shrinks. I want to get it somewhere where I'd hate to 'grow,' so I have additional motivation to stay fit.

I've been treating myself at milestones--when I lost 20 lbs (I lost 20 before joining MFP), I went on a (tandem) skydive, because I couldn't before I lost that weight. Still thinking about what to do for the next milestone...

    I want to see what poeple have to say to this! After 10lbs I bought new sneakers, I was squeezing into size 18 jeans, now all my jeans are perfect or too big! So I promised myslef every size I lose I will get a new pair of Gap Jeans, So I have my size 16 at home they fit but not that "perfect" fit. I've lost 20lbs so far and I'm hoping the next 10lbs will take me there! So excited to just keep on going and get to the finish line!

    I love seeing these goals too! My first 10 lbs, I got myself a nice massage. I liked it so much I scheduled another one for the following six weeks (at 15 lbs lost by then).
    I'm not sure about the 20 lb mark. When I get to 145 goal weight - it will be a biggie (maybe a trip?) and when I get down to my 131 goal weight (with 19% body fat) then I definitely have to do something big!

    Right now I am swimming at a gym every morning on my own. Since I will keep it up for the year my reward starting in January will be to join a Synchronized swim and swim team so I can compete. I am very competitive and use to be part of a team (over ten years ago). To me this is a great big reward. I can't join before January as I am in school at the times that the teams meet but I graduate in December :)

    I am going to buy an amazing sexy dress, heels and some lingerie. Then I am going to get boudoir photos done for my husband (AND MYSELF). I also plan on whitening my teeth professionally, get a small tattoo in a hidden place (my first) to remind myself of how hard I worked and buying a new wardrobe with clothes that I love and can be proud of. And finally, my husband promised me a 10 day beach vacation at a resort in Mexico to celebrate. Ultimately the real reward is being fit and healthy, but I figure if I spoil myself a little at the end it won't hurt anything. ;)

    When I hit my first goal weight 65kg:

    1. clothes shopping most likely
    2. nose re-pierced

    When I reach my goal "size" 8-10 AU

    1. shopping spree
    2. boudoir photoshoot
    3. wedding dress shopping =) and seriously planning my wedding
    4. tattoo along my side

    I have the two goals because they may not actually be at the same time =) for example I will probably hit 65kg before i get near size 10AU =) but Its all good - I'm not that fussed on the weight - its the clothing size that I want =D

    I'm going to make more goals and reach higher to show myself what I'm capable of.

    I will keep going.

    I'm beginning to think I'll never hit my goal weight. Which isn't so bad because it's means I can never stop trying. :tongue:

    Probably nothing special. I look forward to being able to walk around with my shirt off and looking good like I used to...and I look forward to continued positive results on my blood work. I'm pretty much never done with anything...once I've succeeded in achieving a goal, I'm on to the next one...I never stop progressing.

    I have a tattoo that covers a lot of my right side, which I got when I was about 90 lbs thinner. It's a tribal tattoo with a bunch of flowers. I was so proud of it when I got it, but now that it's been stretched out I see a lot of imperfections (probably some due to the weight gain, probably some due to the tattoo artist). When I reach my goal weight I want to get it touched up and really looking good again. I'll probably also go on a pretty big shopping spree as well.

    Buy new clothes! And maybe I'll get wild and actually buy a dress.
