Rewards for your weight loss?

Do you guys give yourself rewards for each goal you hit? If so, what kind? I've been wanting to do this. Like maybe small rewards for every 25lbs or so, and bigger rewards the closer I get to my goal. Finally, a new wardrobe when hitting my goal :) Just curious if anyone else out there is doing this?

<3 all of my MFP friends!

    I haven't really thought about it because I just want to get to the goal already! Do you mean like materially speaking?

    At 10 lbs lost, I got me an exercise outfit, including a sports bra that holds me steady. At 20 lbs, we went river rafting.
    I don't know yet what I'm doing for 30, 40, or 50.
    When I hit my goal though, we are going to get our wedding rings. We got married 10-10-10 and it was kinda rushed with no rings. So figure if the ring fits at my lightest ~ 1) it won't need resized and 2) It will be obvious to me if I start gaining again :P

    When I lose 30 pounds (hopefully by this coming spring) I'm gonna treat myself to a tanning bed package. It's been years since I went. Then when I reach my goal of 50 pounds, I'm gonna buy myself some new clothes.

    I have thought out it in the past, but never got to goal. I think it's a great idea, like maybe getting a manicure new, pedicure, or a pretty new haircut. I would totally love to have a new wardrobe once I reach my goal. :love:

    I don't so much reward myself with material things for reaching certain number goals (mostly because I don't have money to do so!)... but I *do* continually remind myself that I need to make ME a priority and set aside money to buy exercise clothes, inexpensive exercise equipment, etc. :) I'm assuming someday I'll add clothes to that list... so far at almost 25 pounds down I have yet to have any clothes be too big!

    My "gift" to myself once I get down to a happy, manageable weight (aside from the gift of health) will be to go skydiving. It's something that I've always wanted to do, but couldn't because of my weight. I might actually splurge (if I can afford it) and take a certification course.

    These are all awesome rewards. River rafting & skydiving would be so fun. I find that rewarding myself will keep me motivated, and give me something to look forward to. Since I just started, I don't really have any rewards in mind, but definitely starting to think about them :)
