Hello! So I've seen a lot of people setting mini goals for themselves at certain weight loss intervals. I think this is a great idea. I'd love some suggestions as to what people set and mostly at what intervals. I've lost 21 lbs since my heaviest and I have about 90lbs more to lose :-) Thanks everyone!

    I'm doing mine every 20 pounds...I have 80-100 to lose. As rewards to myself, I am doing things like peircings (different parts of the ear, nothing crazy like nipples hahahaha) and tattoos. Eventually, new outfits will be one, too.

    I am an instant gratification person so goals like buying a new outfit, shoes or getting a massage don't motivate me at all. I'll buy whatever I want when I want to. My goals are all fitness related. Like lift a certain amount by a certain month, do X pull ups, etc. Plus I sign up for events like another Tough Mudder that make me work harder.

    I don't put too much into the scale, as long as I am faster and stronger, my goals are met.

    The first mini goal I have set is going from 227lbs. to onederland.then from there I am aiming for 179lbs. Where my BMI will change from obese to overweight. Not sure what little goal I will set next before I reach my biggest goal of 140 lbs. personally I find little goals along the way will stop me from quitting but most importantly will encourage me to keep on this weight loss journey. Hope this kelps you.

    This is such a great topic :) I like to think I am setting little goals, but then end up forgetting what my little reward was! I do log my workouts every day and keep track with paper and pencil. At one point I had a pair of jeans hanging on the wall, but they were so out of my reach I just gave them away! ha

    I am inspired now to really write some goals down and their rewards :) I wil be following this topic to see what others come up with too!

    I have rewards set for every ten pounds lost. I could reward myself with anything as long as it wasn't food and didn't decrease my activity. Here's what I have set up:

    170 lbs: Candles
    160 lbs: New lamp and posters for the office
    150 lbs: New hairstyle with highlights
    140 lbs: New boots and fashion jewelry
    130 lbs: Clothing shopping spree (Goal weight)

    I fully intend to log my goals on my profile page once I have more ideas. I think my goal for my ultimate weight loss is going to buy a new treadmill. . or a sound system for my car! I also used to have a pair of pants hanging on my wall hehe
