What is the reward to motivate you to reach your goal?

I don't want to look old....and fat. Can't do much about age, but fat I can take care of.

Other than your typical good health and whatnot, Sprint Triathlon in 1 year - first time.

I am not super into rewards, but they can be fun. When I started using My Fitness Pal over a year ago, I would reward myself with fitness related items every 5 or 10 lb milestone, nothing expensive...a glow in the dark basketball, nice jump rope, new sneakers, bike helmet, and fairly inexpensive workout clothes. I kind of abandoned that after awhile though because I don't have a lot of fitness related wants or needs, my habits are pretty simple.

I hadn't been under 200 lb since 1991, so back in January when I finally hit 199 lb I wanted a bigger reward. I bought myself all new makeup and a Lucite organizer to keep it in. It's on my bathroom vanity and every day I use it and it reminds me of that milestone.

Another big thing for me was going to an amusement park to ride roller coasters. I hadn't done that since 2001 and was psyched about the idea, so I planned to buy tickets for my husband and I but then we wound up getting free admission (long story) so that was a moot point.

Now that I'm inching closer to an indefinite goal I have kind of abandoned the rewards thing. I use my continuing progress as a justification for buying cute new clothes, but most of them are on clearance anyway and of course I need clothes that fit. After I've maintained my "goal weight" for a year or so I could see myself really splurging on a nice jacket or coat that costs more than I would typically spend.

being able to wear something form fitting with my curves in the right places :-D accomplished

I want to buy a really nice suit.

I've always worn a blue blazer and tan slacks to any event that required a jacket and tie. I would like to have a really nice suit.

Fantastic Idea!

I want to:
have lower risk of health problems,
be able to move more easily,
be able to buy nicer clothes (designers don't think fat women deserve nice things),
feel fabulous,
look fabulous,
and maybe start getting attention from men. (Good attention, as in dating.)

So far, the only real reward I have planned is to buy a few nice sets of underthings (which can easily be over $100 a set!).
That will also make me feel fabulous, look fabulous, and hopefully I can share that fabulousness with a special someone. :happy:

I think I'd like to get a bikini, once I look decent in one. Not perfect, just decent, not gross rolls of flab all over.

For the larger intermediate goals along the way, I'm thinking of things like a manicure, picnic in the park, new book.
The smaller goals (every 5 lb) I just write down in my notebook.

My reward is new clothes. All my clothes are too big now, but I refuse to buy new ones till I reach my goal weight.

I had to buy new bras, because those just can't be taken in like pants or skirts or shirts.
The rest, I'm trying to make do or at least hit thrift stores.
It helps that I sew, so I can take in the waist of most things.

A better body of course! And not being the "big" one of the family anymore also my mother promised me a 4week trip to Hawaii plus the ultimate motivation for me was this expensive black dress my mum has it's I think Versace I want that dress so bad so if I can fit into it I get it!!

I have rewarded myself for every five pounds that I have lost with clothing and concerts. But my ultimate reward is a trip to Venice.

A little different, but my reward for maintaining is really nice clothing that I NEVER would have or could have worn when I was obese. I really don't want to mess up because I want to keep wearing cute things!

This! + a super cute bikini, I've never worn a bikini before XD I wish I was confident enough to wear it any size like some people but I'm just way too self conscious until I lose a little extra chub XD
