I'm trying to think of little goals to keep my motivation going, I was thinking at 7lb off i'll get my nails done, at 14lb i'll buy some new makeup, at 24lb i'll buy a dress that isn't from Asda.

How do you reward yourself when you have done well?

    My rewards usually end with me going to my favorite chinese food restaurant.

    Good for you for not rewarding yourself with food. Small personal items are the best! things that will make you feel extra good. I like that!

    I don't ever really reward myself when I hit goals, I just enjoy going shopping for clothes (at thrift stores) as my old clothes become way too big, and once I hit my final goal, I will be going on a big shopping spree for new clothes to fill my closet!

    I reward myself by shopping :)
    Buy something maybe you couldn't buy before because they didn't have your size? It motivates me so much to think about wearing something I couldn't before!
    Best of luck! :)

    I hope to see some great responses in this thread - I could also use some fresh ideas for rewards.

    Reward???? Getting healthy and living longer and feeling better is not enough of a reward?

    I walk around in public with my shirt off. Not suggesting this for women though. :wink:

    I have my rewards on my profile. My first one for hitting 170lbs was buying new underwear! I also bought new gym clothes! :)

    I actually have a spreadsheet of milestones and trinkets to get. It's all silly innocuous stuff with the exception of a serger and a dressform when I actually get closer to the "ultimate goal size."

    Of course it is, but when you have a long road ahead of you, little rewards or treats for acheiving little goals can help keep you motivated, I have 84lb to lose so I have a very long road to travel and some people find it easy, others don't, I'm one of the ones who don't.

    You obviously have a very strong mindset to get/stay healthy and that is a wonderful thing, unfortunately I don't have this kind of strength and require a little more than just positive thinking x

    I keep it non food related, and something I like, but dont normally buy for myself so they really do feel like a reward, like a trip to Charming Charlies for a new purse, or to Bath and Body works for a great new lotion, or a or manicure, a that great pair of sandals that has finally gone on sale. Some times we get so caught up in taking care of everyone else, we forget about ourselves.

    I don't, really. I see the weight loss and increased physical ability as their own rewards.
