    I rewarded myself when I hit my target. Joined my local Y, bought some cute workout clothes and bought a Garmin Vivofit plus HRM. When I can run 2 miles without stops, I'm getting a Forerunner running watch.

    I bought new dress pants.

    As a later reward, I had the waist taken in.

    I have a list of milestones. And I have a list of possible rewards for each milestone. I don't like it. I actually get a bigger kick of out of just checking off my list than I do actually getting the reward. Plus I don't like the idea that I don't deserve a reward unless I actually hit a particular weight or achieve a particular goal. What is so magic about losing 100 pounds that somehow makes me more worthy of taking a couple of days off work (that's what I currently have as my reward) that I don't deserve it before then? Granted, there are a few things that I have in mind for when I get to my goal… but it's more like I don't want to waste money on a shopping spree if those clothes are going to end up being too big in 6 months than a reward for getting to a specific weight.

    I do set milestones, but actually reaching them, for me, is the reward.

    Like doing 5x5 inverted bodyweight rows - because at one point I couldnt do 1.

    First time I did 25? Whooping and hollering :)

    Right now my first milestone is to get out of the 290's. I am so close to it and am so excited. (only two pounds to go) My personal trainer set up my second milestone to reach 275 and as a reward he said he will half his rate per hour so I can affored to see him every week instead of every two weeks. After that I have no clue.
