What Is Your Reward for Reaching Your GW?

Do any of you have a reward in mind for when you read certain milestones?

When I reach my goal weight of 135 lbs (I'm 5'7") I'm going to re-evaluate whether or not I want to drop more. But if I can maintain that weight for 6 months, I'm going to get a tattoo! I've wanted it for awhile but I want to wait until I'm the size that I plan to stay forever and know I can successfully do that.

    Hmmm, I think my reward is to go blow some money on new clothes. Not like a whole wardrobe, but some clothes so the rest don't just float haha. I was working out wearing this huge T-Shirt that no longer fits me tightly, so my boyfriend called me a flying squirrel and I just couldn't stop laughing lol. My shirt is now SOOOO big on me now :)

    Besides new clothes, a new GHD Eclipse straightener. But my profile pic has my Goal Dress (well I think I would be able to fit it 1/2way or 3/4 near my Goal Weight as it's a larger size).

    Don't want to sound like an arsehole haha but I think losing the weight itself would be an amazing reward!!

    This pretty much. I had to buy new clothes for this Fall anyway, they'll just be a bit looser then.

    I guess buying new clothes (again) this Summer will be nice though. And maybe even some dresses *gasp*. I should really be at goal weight by then.

    Mine is going to be a Boudoir photo album for my husband and a few for me to keep as a reminder it’s not a one-time thing this time, its maintenance and the way I want to look and feel always.

    This, but not on my legs. Hehe.
    Oh, and a boudoir shoot.

    I like all of these! The weight itself is a reward but I need external rewards as well because it's hard to see the weight coming off but I can definitely see a spa package in front of me :)

    I gave myself a slap on the *kitten* and then started eating a maintenance level of calories which in turn allowed me to really, actually, truly train rather than just exercising.

    The husband and I are going back to Sandals. We were married there three years ago on Fri and I can't wait to go back :D

    But... also loads and loads of clothes LOL

    Yes, the weight coming off is a reward, but I want to give myself some non-food treats as well. I always used food as a reward, so I need to train myself to reward myself another way. I bought myself a small cell phone holder to wrap around my arm for when I run (only $3.50 on amazon!) for 20 pounds lost. For 25 pounds, I got myself a food scale, and for 30 (just hit this yesterday), my husband and I are getting massages on Fri night!

    OK, so all of these things I would have just bought myself anyway, but I made myself wait until I lost the required amount of weight. Hubs and I are actually members of a massage place, so we have paid for massages every month. It's just a matter of finding a good night to do it.

    Oh, I just realized I didn't really answer your question, sorry!! I'm not at my goal weight, these are intermediate rewards for certain milestones. Not exactly sure what my goal weight reward will be. I think at that point the weight being gone WILL be the reward! And obviously, I will need a lot more new clothes, so not sure I want to spend more money beyond that.

    I am rewarded every single day with better health and more stamina than I had last week.

    at 10 lbs I'm going to treat myself to a spa pedicure, and 20 a new pair of slim leg lululemon work out pants and at 25 (GW) new jeans.

    I think giving yourself a reward is part of taking care of yourself and your health. Goals should be celebrated!

    Only for the final goal.

    It's spelled A-R-M-A-N-I.

    A healthier body in which to carry a baby in.

    If not, then at least a healthier body in general. Maybe I can get off some of these freaking meds.

    My reward was meeting my goal weight.

    I never really did rewards along the way....the whole thing was just enough in itself :)

    When I reach my goal weight/size, I'm buying some really nice clothes. As I've lost I've just been buying mostly cheap stuff so I'm gonna reward myself with some fashionable outfits.

    Getting back into shape has been my #1 goal since my surgery last year robbed me of years of hard work. Being back in shape is reward enough, but still, I'm taking a vacation to somewhere tropical

    First, I'll probably crow here about it. :-)
    Second, I'll reset my calorie goals to maintenance. I expect that should feel pretty great.
    I'll play the rest by ear.

    I've reached a weight I haven't been at since December 2001 and fit into taken-out-of-mothballs clothes for the first time in over a decade. If that's not a reward (and a few pounds short of goal weight at that), I don't know what is.
