I'm curious if you all have a reward planned for yourself when you hit a goal or your end goal?
When I get to Onederland in another 18 pounds I'm going for a Mani and pedi.
When I get to my goal weight of 160 I am going in for a haircut and color. My hair right now is half way down my back and the last two haircuts I got were ones I gave myself. Yep...learned how to cut my own hair on YouTube lol. I plan on doing something dramatic and shorter

I bought some jeans. It's fairly major for me, because I am so short that it was impossible to get jeans with both the correct waist and length. It's still very hard to get jeans in the correct length (outside the boy's section). I did get some Levi's shrink-to-fit as well, and they are getting there.0

I did mani and pedi, big loss calls for small clothes love to go shopping now, my local goodwill loves me and my bags of clothes I donate. 0

I give myself a shellac manicure every 3 weeks as a treat - but only so long as I've stayed on track. I love having bright shiny nails so that's a real motivator.
I've also bought myself a beautiful solid gold bangle (ouch it was sooo expensive but it's something I've wanted for 15 years) that I'm going to 'give myself' once I hit goal and wear every day as a reminder and motivation.
One thing I was thinking over the weekend - the bangle is of a design that I could engrave a message to myself on the inside that only I could see that would inspire me when I take it off and read it. I don't know what to put though! It's a real heirloom piece that I want to pass on to my future family so I don't want anything too weird though!
Any suggestions??0 -
My reward will hopefully be inspiring family members to rethink their SAD ways when they see how great my husband and I look at the holidays! We both hope to be at our goals this winter so the timing is perfect!
@SlimBride2Be you think She said, "Oh, I could never give up bread!" is too weird?

I would probably do something simple like, "You are beautiful, inside and out." But that's me.

Oh, I am waiting for my husband to realize he's been getting bigger (NOT in the hunky muscular way this time either) while I've been getting smaller. He comments that he should start eating like me while stuffing his face with chips, bread, pasta, burritos, whatever he can get his hands on really. One of these days maybe he'll see the light. I personally think a change in his WOE would make a significant impact on his mental health symptoms too...0 -
I don't have anything planned at the moment because of financial concerns, but I fantasize about finally planning our destination wedding vow renewal and wearing a fabulous dress that would've looked gross on my obese body.
I do enjoy small rewards like getting my hair done and getting a pedicure, but like I said, money is tight. I desperately need new clothes though..... 0 -
Love the suggestions, guys!! Also thrift store shopping is much more fun when you are thinner - and it's cheap!!0

Yeah money is tight here, too, so I hadn’t even thought about what I’ll do for rewards. I do my own nails, dye my hair myself, and get my hair cut at the cheap place, so those aren’t really “rewards”. I was thinking a book but I never have time to read anymore. Same with watching a movie.
I’m totally stumped.

Maybe I'll finally splurge on a trip "home" to see my family..... It'd be nice to ride in a plane without my thighs spilling over into the next seat.0

I have 17 lbs until 150. When I get there I'm going to cut my hair super short. I want to do it now, so I figured I would make it a reward to work toward.0

I had a hair cut - first in 3 years when I lost a stone, thinking of dyeing my whites at 2 stone. Then who knows what next?

All my rewards for now are the improved health. Nothing else in the budget atm....0
