I've found that setting up a rewards system is a great way of motivation. I'm curious as to what everyone else has a reward system. How often do you reward yourself? What are your rewards for each goal?

Here are mine:

Rewards
1. Every 5lbs lost – Buy something from Amazon wishlist (do not buy again if 5lbs are gained back)
2. Every 2 inches lost – Buy something from Amazon wishlist (in addition to 5lbs)
3. 10lbs lost/300lbs – teeth whitening
4. 20lbs lost/290lbs – Get that ear piercing you want
5. 30lbs lost/280lbs – New glasses
6. 40lbs lost/270lbs – Customized pair of rainbow Converse shoes
7. 50lbs lost/260lbs – New glasses frames (vintage cat-eye glasses)
8. 60lbs lost/250lbs – 10 pairs of ultra-cute socks
9. 70lbs lost/240lbs – New glasses frames (Buddy Holly)
10. 80lbs lost/230lbs – 10 pieces of jewelry or accessories
11. 90lbs lost/220lbs – Purple boots
12. 100lbs lost/210lbs – 5 pairs cute gloves or armwarmers
13. 110lbs lost/200lbs – Knee-high black boots
14. 120lbs lost/190lbs – Electrolysis/Laser hair removal (never shave those legs again!)
15. 130lbs lost/180lbs – New wardrobe! Finish work on that custom jacket! Cute accessories! Resize your wedding ring! New haircut!
16. 140+lbs lost/170lbs or less – Start taking ballet lessons! Go see Hanson live in concert! Vacation in Japan! Cosplay at a convention! Have a baby! Professional photos with you and your husband! Go wild you skinnier girl, you!

Mine are mostly material, but I don't have a lot of things that I would LOVE to wear if I thought I wouldn't be laughed at for being overweight and wearing them.

What about you guys?

    I haven't rewarded myself at all... I guess once I reach my goal weight I will be getting a new wardrobe... because I am already at the point I need it... and I am getting knee high boots at some point also!!!

    4 Months & 16 days that it took me to reach/surpass my goal weight by 1 lbs. My goal weight was 130 lbs. I achieved 129 lbs on April 22 - 11.

    My Husband Adam awarded me with Tony Horton's 'BRING IT!' & a lovely bookmark that read 'The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams' - Eleanor Roosevelt.

    When I completed Power90 on March 5 - 11...I treated myself with two OPI nailpolishes - Hot Pink & Hot Red...!

    I'm soooo over the moooon with my results & Looooove my fitness journey - It's my new lifestyle & it's here to stay... :smile: :heart: :flowerforyou:

    I just realized that I hit my halfway mark and didn't reward myself, so I am going to get this nice set of bicycle tools I've had my eye on. When I reach my goal I am getting a new road bike.
