    I bought myself the car I always wanted, but didn't fit in to until I lost the weight.

    2013 Mustang GT with the 5.0L v8, 6-speed manual and track pack.

    Not really a reward but I bought this pretty black dress to motivate me to lose to fit in it. I think it is a large. I now wear a 22. Well I don't really wear dresses mostly slacks. It is a fancy one like you would wear to a wedding or something super dressy. I think that along the way for small goals I'm going to buy me exercise clothes and pajamas. I love pajamas. Not sure about the end reward....This thread has given me "food" for thought. lol

    Hrmmmm, I'm not really sure what I will do. I've already bought some new clothes and got rid of my fat clothes. My first goal weight is in October so maybe the husband and I will take a weekend to do something fun since it'll be our 4th anniversary.

    Amusement park and ride all the rides even if it takes a lot more than one day. And a bicycle, I might get that before goal weight though, maybe in 40 lbs. Of course, I will probably hit 40 more lbs gone in the winter time. But, definitely getting the bike if it's not winter yet, even if it's only a few weeks to snow.

    This is a great question! And one I've been pondering myself. I was thinking that maybe I'd take a vacation overseas (or maybe to Costa Rica), or get my scuba certification. It's so hard choosing rewards because I don't want to put my life on hold while I lose weight - I want to see and do things NOW!

    I did nothing, just set a fitness goal and continue working

    I don't have any specific plans. I'd like a tattoo, but I'd probably get one anyway. I kinda see losing the weight as being its own reward.

    I plan to update my entire wardrobe, my wife has been complaining for a while now about my lifeless collection also with the fact that I can't fit into most of them. Looking forward to a nice pair of jeans and a custom stitched uniform for work.

    Hit my first goal weight and had a photography session with my horse. I would have NEVER done that without losing 70 lbs. Loved the photos. Reset my goal to lose another 10 and I have a tattoo picked out for that one and I want a beach vacation.

    That's what I'm doing. Gonna go with a quarter sleeve this time, already started on designing it.

    DEFINITELY tattoos.
    I want a quote on my bicep and ribs then I want a tone of nerd tattoos for symbolize my childhood, relationships, etc. People may think they are silly, but they are actually pretty meaningful.
    I want to get the Hylian crest from Legend of Zelda on my lower back ("tramp stamp" I guess you could say), the Green Lantern symbol on my shoulder/bicep, the Deathly Hallows symbol on my left hip and a triforce on my right.
    Hylian Crest I want: 5loqy9.jpg

    Hm.. If I were at my goal weight I'd get me a sexy outfit and go out with my friends or fiance.
    Probably get my belly button pierced and a side tattoo. Always wanted them but I realize fat girls don't look good with side tattoos or a belly piercing!

    My only plan for when I hit the goal weight is to post before & after pics on the Success Stories forum. I find it to be quite inspiration and would like to give back a little.

    And then I'm gonna live the life that being morbidly obese has denied me.

    That's my plan too! I've been losing my weight slowly over a few years (losing for a bit, then maintaining for a month or two, then back to losing) and I'd love to post my story that includes successfully maintaining a weightloss over an extended period of time. Once I get to 55lbs lost I'll be posting before and afters.

    Buy a puppy :noway: UUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH... RESCUES AND HUMANE SOCIETY PEOPLE...

    anyway...

    I go myself a new bikini :smile:

    While getting a dog from a rescue or a humane society is a nice thing, there is absolutely nothing wrong with purchasing a puppy from a breeder either. You can go too extreme in the 'rescue' mentality. Its a personal choice and while rescuing is a nice thing there are pros and cons to rescue just as there is to purchasing puppies from good breeders. Its great that you want to rescue dogs, but its silly to imply that everyone has to rescue dogs or they are wrong or to try and shame them for it if they dont. If that was how it all worked there wouldnt be rescue dogs because there would be no dogs as no one would be breeding them at all. I am not condoning the "I dont care enough to get my dog fixed" litters. But purchasing a puppy from a good breeder is a great way to ensure the health of your dog and of future generations if you breed it. It also gives the dog a higher chance of having a lifetime home, as well as a great chance of finding a new home if for some reason the first owner has to adopt it out

    As for my big reward, I am thinking a nice vacation, somewhere that bikinis are practically mandatory...

    Boob job. :)


    haha love this! I wish I had the money for one or a puppy! I set a new goal for the next few months out and then bought a new outfit (new shoes included of course). I think for my next goal I might go the spa day route

    I think maybe I'd do an in-office teeth whitening. It's a huge splurge, but something I've wanted to do for awhile.

    Mommy and me pictures. I don't want a tattoo, I don't want people to ask what it stands for. I want to forget I was ever overweight and I think getting a tattoo that represents my fat (even thought it's lost fat) I don't want to be tied down to my past.

    Once I make a big accomplishment with my fitness however like a 1/2 marathon or full marathon I might get something. I don't know.

    Yes! I was too lazy to go back and quote the original, but this shaming people who want to own purebred dogs and start with a puppy is totally ridiculous. I personally would not want a puppy at this stage in my life (housebreaking and puppy proofing is a real PITA), but I respect the choice of people who DO want to go through that puppy phase. There are also many reasons to opt for a purebred over a mix, including an assurance of size, temperament, shedding, activity level, etc. You have a lot better chance of finding a good match in a well-researched and well-bred purebred than you do in a rescue puppy.

    Regardless, I think the interwebs has made society such that they think it's okay to rudely comment on any choices another person makes. Considering how this has led to widespread fat-shaming, I woud think people on this forum would be more sensitive to it. :shrugs:

    Mommy and me pictures.

    This is a great one. I spent most of my son's first few years avoiding the camera because of the way I look, now I go back through photos and there are none of the two of us, and it makes me really sad. Now I will take the photos, but I never share them or display them because I'm unhappy with my appearance. A photo shoot when I feel good about the way I look is a great idea!

    I bought clothes but I needed them, it wasn't until I reached my goal weight that I bought new clothes - yes I was wearing clothes that swam on me for a long time!

    This was probably best...I had to go several times to buy a new wardrobe. :grumble: Luckily I chose a thrift shop otherwise I would be in the poor house!! :laugh:

    I bought several bikinis to wear this summer!

    I really want to get a half-sleeve tattoo, but honestly I doubt we'll have the money, so instead I'm thinking I want to hike the entire Lake Superior Hiking Trail. All 275 miles. :noway: :bigsmile:

    Edit: Oh! I forgot to mention also that my husband told me he wants to get me a bike when I hit 50lb lost! :D

    I like the idea of getting some great photos taken. Great way to showcase your loss and to feel sexy and confident.
