Do anything special when you hit your goal weight?

Probably dinner at the Chart House in Cardiff by the Sea. i mightm even have a Margarita or Bloody Mary.

Yup I set a NEW GOAL!!! Decided to keep going with the weight loss.

eta: Congrats on hitting your goal

i want to buy some barbells and plates. But the house we currently are in has no space for that, plus our baby stuff has taken over more than half the house anyway LOL
But yeah, i would love to have that, so i attend cardio classes and do weights at home!

For my mini goals of 30lbs - shoes.

When I lose all 100+ I'm gonna do two things - 1. Find an amateur night at a strip club and shake my money maker and 2. a burlesque style reveal for my closest friends... and then we are going downtown to the trendiest nightclub and getting stupid!!

Congrats! I plan on going shopping.

I gave myself a good slap on the *kitten* and then sat down to establish some new goals. Reaching goal weight is kind of like finally arriving at the starting line of a much longer race...that's when the real work begins...maintaining that weight requires a completely different mindset, as you will no longer be rewarded for your efforts by watching the number drop on the scale. Goals become more fitness and health oriented and "success" is far more arbitrary.

I think this is an extremely sound piece of wisdom. I know I get excited with every dip in the scale but that really IS only the beginning.. as you age and things slow down, you have to keep the energy going.. never give up.. NEVER SURRENDER!!!

congrats!!

I'm going to buy clothes and lots of them! Maybe a tattoo but I'm so picky it will take me forever to pick one lol

Congrats on getting there!
My "goal weight milestone" coincided with a hysterectomy, so what I gave myself was a complication-free procedure and a nice recovery, made easier by the strength of my triceps and posterior chain in addition to the relative absence of visceral fat. I ate what I could/wanted without counting calories for about 2-4 weeks, then was cleared for whatever activity I wanted. A month or so later, I bought myself a rack/bench set, a barbell and plates... and a pair of booty jeans. :bigsmile: Around the 6-month mark, I signed myself up for a 2-year contract of Krav Maga classes. After about 4-6 weeks off for a minor back injury, and still right at that goal weight, I'm loving KM and finally getting ready to hit the weights again in earnest - this time with a personal trainer at my gym.

So yeah, my "rewards" are basically MOAR FITNESS. Because it feels so awesome to be able to do all this stuff, when just over a year ago I was nearly resigned to spending the rest of my life in physical decline. Ha!

I am definitely going to buy new summer clothes, and very sexy shoes! 15 pounds to go! I love everyone's comments.

New motorcycle for me this summer!!! Bit of a delay since i hit my goal weight a few months back, but I can wait...

I have 15 pounds to go. When I get there, I'm going to cut my hair. I have really long hair right now, but I refuse to cut it until I get there. I can't wait. It's a big motivator and I think I'll be down another pound once I cut it, too. Sometimes I think I won't ever get there and I might end up sweeping the floor with my hair. I just keep plugging away at it..

I'm aiming for 5 pounds under goal weight and then I'm going to have a day of sweet sweet gluttony. it will be glorious.

I've still got a long way to go, but one of the things I really wanna do is to go on a vacation abroad (complete with new clothes/swimwear) and do some things I've always wanted to do like go on a zip-line,swim with dolphins,and take pictures of me in all the places I want to go looking absolutely fabulous!

I love this idea. I just wrote about how I want a long vacation for myself. I guess I need to start saving.

I got a DEXA scan to learn my accurate body composition. And now I'm working with a trainer to set new goals. Awesome splurges that are all about my health!
