I was just wondering if anyone is going to reward themselves if they get to their goal weight, and what things they might be doing. I'm thinking of going on a shopping spree for some girlie clothes and a new bikini! :)
I appreciate all comments. Thanks!

    I am planning new clothes along the way. Maybe shoes too. And my old clothes will look good again.

    I already love the way my body is trimming up.

    I am going to reward myself with lingerie. I haven't owned any since before having children. I am also getting a new hair do, a manicure and pedicure, and going to knock my husband's socks off of him!

    I'm definitely going to get some new pants. I was shocked a couple years ago when I saw that my waist size had gone up from 32 to 36 at some point... Heck, I'm sure I'll need new pants at my halfway point.

    A new tattoo for me! Actually that's my halfway reward. I think I'll reward myself with a Macbook when I reach goal weight.

    Wow, these are great ideas! I think a reward is really great incentive to work really hard. Thank you for the suggestions!

    I think I'll get a new pair of Sperry shoes or a Xbox Kinect.

    Personally, for every 5 pounds I lose, I will treat myself to little things, like getting a manicure or going to a movie :]

    When I reached my weight loss goal I bought myself Jillian Michael's Shred it with Weights DVD and a HRM to help me build some muscles. I think once I reach my fitness goal, being proud of my body and in great health will be its own reward.

    I've convinced my husband to get new family photos taken (he HATES having his picture taken) when i reach my goal weight. At my 1/2 way point I'm going to the local massage school and getting a full body massage.

    Clothes, but most importantly:

    Short skirts and knee-high boots. I haven't been able to wear either of those since I was a teenager. My thighs are too big (they rub together) for skirts and my calves are too big for boots. So I suppose my reward will be an awesome pair of knee-high leather boots.

    As I drop weight, I'm not really buying clothes. Mosty, i wear workout clothes or pyjama pants or sweat pants (luckily, my dress code at my job is very very casual).

    I think its a great idea. I want to reward myself with a nice watch I think! A white one for the summer :)

    I'm planning a shopping spree... $300-500 depending on household finances and whether or not I decide that should be my final goal or not (obviously if I want to slowly lose more once I reach 140lbs I will spend less on clothes at that point).

    I've got mini-sprees planned for every 30 lbs... basically I'll get new work clothes (i.e. business clothes) that fit appropriately at those points, plus maybe a couple casual things and a new belt.
