    This is supposed to be adopting a healthy lifestyle...so we are done when we are dead and at that point...we get nice things said about us I guess.

    I took the OP to mean when you are done losing and then begin maintaining. I certainly don't intend to keep losing until I die. Otherwise, I WILL die.

    There's a difference between maintaining a healthy life style and losing weight. I'll maintain a healthy life style for the rest of my life. The big rewards happen when I don't have to be quite so aggressive about that healthy lifestyle.

    I feel my big wardrobe update is more of a necessity than a reward. I don't like rewards, they make me feel silly and a cheesy voice from those cartoon shows for toddlers plays in my head "Good job! You have done it!". I "reward" myself often just because. When I want something and I can afford it, I buy it. No need for a special occasion or accomplishment for that to happen. I also believe a reward system would compromise my long term success since I may unlearn doing things out of necessity and do them because I will get some short term tangible thing in return.

    Because I have so much to lose I reward myself along the way. I finally got below 250lbs so, I bought myself a pair of Reebok Crossift Nano 4.0 :smile:

    When I reach my goal, I want a new wardrobe. Obviously that's a necessity but I will probably do a weekend shopping trip in the states since clothing is so much cheaper there and then it would truly be an experience I won't forget. Also every 10 pounds or so I buy myself a gift like a scarf, shoes, accessory , pedicure.ect
