my first 10lbs down 130 to go (gulp) but all of a sudden having so far to go is a bonus, as my wonderful hubby has decided for every 10lbs I lose he will buy my a pair of shoes i never thought i would be able to wear again, never thought i would see heels again :smiley:

    That's a great incentive! Make sure to wear them a lot right now, because (gulp!) your shoe size will probably change and they won't fit once you reach your goal weight.

    No way - don't get them a size smaller - celebrate the victory now! You deserve them and whenever anyone asks you about your fabulous shoes you will have a great story to tell.

    That is fabulous! Congratulations...and do you think your husband could give mine a call? I would love a new pair of shoes for every 10 pounds lost. ;)

    lol If it helps I think I know why he decided to be so fluffy, so all you need to do is have PMS yell at him lots, burst into tears and tell him you feel like a bloated blimp and hey presto fantastic hubby that will do anything to make you smile lol

    I had to give A LOT of my shoes away after losing weight which has been very painful as my shoes are my babies and I belong to JustFab.com so I have TONS of sexy, unique heels and I had to get rid of them. Now, I'm back to getting basic shoes for work. Like boring black, navy, nude, brown, gray pumps. So sad.

    Congrats though!! Sounds like you will be getting lots of new shoes!!

    I just told my husband about this, and have negotiated for a $25 incentive for every 5 pounds lost. Thanks! :D Lol.
    (Enjoy those shoes!)

    What a LOVELY reward! So perfect! And you got a keeper there! I like @rayw89's comment - what a great deal! Note to self: First, find man who will buy me shoes. Second, explain to him this incentive program. <3<3

    If it were me, I'd buy brightly colored walking shoes that fit right now, to give a boost to my walking/aerobic workout program! Come to think of it, I could use a new pair of bright pink walking shoes right now bc I my current ones are getting tired looking. Thank your hubby for the great idea!

    I'm learning on here that supportive partners aren't as common as you might think. I'm very lucky to have one - we went the movies the other night and he took me to the supermarket beforehand to get bottled water and grapes, instead of popcorn and choc tops from the cinema candy bar, and he has started choosing restaurants where he knows I will have healthy options when we eat out. Your man (and mine!) is definitely a keeper!
