Ideas for a reward when I hit target
Replies

A baby. I was 204 (BMI =obese) when I started and hubby and I want to start trying for a baby in April 2015. I want to hit my target weight by then so I am healthy when I carry. It also scared me that I may need to lose the baby weight plus my current weight if I didn't slim down before hand.
Other rewards I have thought of: I was thinking of going for a full spa day including massage, pedicure, and facial. I have also been considering coloring my hair (I know that's not a big one but I have kept my natural color for 6years). Oh... and a new bikini. God only knows where my old one...when I was able to wear one... ended up0 -
okay so non food related rewards are what my dietician told me... 100 lbs lost I got a fitbit, 150 lbs lost I got to go to my local junk yard and crush cars, when I get to 200 lbs I will go roller skating and finally at 250 lbs My goal I will go line dancing and have the outfit to go with it I am 8 lbs away from 200 lbs lost half my starting body weight.
such great rewards! I got myself a fitbit & a polar FT60! I've promised myself a really nice jacket from REI sporting goods store when I reach my goal weight0 -
I thought about this too. As far as rewards when I meet milestones (20 lbs etc) I don't do that; but the big reward I want is probably at 1/2 way to goal and the "finish line" (which is never really a finish line but just starting maintaining the weight).....so with that said:
these are some of the things I thought of:
Clothes
A vacation
Heart rate monitor
a Race
watch
Jewelry
new pocketbooks
new sneakers
computer
join a gym
get to know the new you:)!0 -
Think about your hobbies or interests that you have yet to explore. When I hit my ultimate goal weight, I'm signing myself up for dance classes: ballet and aerial. Though, I may start ballet earlier as the course starts in January, no matter what.
Also, think about things that fit a more active and healthier lifestyle, because this will be your lifestyle from now on if you plan on keeping the weight off. A brand new bicycle? If you already have a bicycle, maybe one milestone reward could be a new helmet or one of those cycling outfits. New golf clubs. Tennis lessons. Maybe a mandolin slicer to make super pretty salads. Massages are supposed to be great at preventing loose skin. Go to a spa and treat yourself to a great massage.
Is their anything you wanted to do but found yourself too insecure to try due to your weight? If so, do it!!!0 -
Clothes, definitely.0

Pandora bracelet and charms
This is what I do. I get to buy a new charm every 5 pounds. (And as of this morning I get another one!!!!!!!!)

I'm telling myself I don't get any rewards until I'm 1/3 of the way to my goal, which I have about 14 pounds left for the first one. :laugh: But I'll probably buy a new beadweaving kit as it's my passion. Or get my hair dyed. Not sure which one is coming first. When I hit my maintenance weight it'll be a lot of new clothes.0
