    Reward systemmmmm! :love: Make something like mine and plan to reward yourself with things you really want to do/have/buy. Stay away from food rewards, though. I like to schedule in activities, since I am always busy. The most amazing reward to me is to take time off studying/working to do the things I love.

    My reward system for LBS lost:
    25(182): New backpack
    30(177): Bluetooth Ear Phones
    35(172): Date Weekend :)
    40(167): New Bathing Suit & River Rafting
    45(162): Kayaking & Rock Climbing
    50(157): Ropes Course
    55(153) GOAL: New, Glorious Wardrobe

    I made a checklist on my google calendar tasks for each pound I was losing.
    -in every 10 is a countdown to my goal.
    -BMI cut offs. Obese II, Obese I, Overweight High, Middle, Normal high.
    -major milestones. 1/4 way, 1/2 way, 3/4 way.
    -BMR projects, so I remember to readjust my calories and lbs. For example, 45 lbs in, I've hit the point where more than 1.3 lbs a week will put me below 1200 calories, which isn't ideal, so I needed to start considering exercise options.
    -health facts related to the BMIs and weight loss.
    After I have reached that exact weight, I can click the check box. It doesn't matter if it goes up the next day. They are only clicked when they go down, but if I go 5 lbs over, I have to unclick.

    When I'm down, I look at my reports. I created check ins for my measurements, which tell a story louder than my weight. Also, evey pound I use, I check ilostwhat.com. It amuses me, but also helps put things into perspective.

    I like your activity goals which reminds me or an unopened email I have, of a Karting Track, I went too a few years ago with some friends. You race round in 70 MPH Go-karts on a 1.2km track. He is a really hard workout, you don't realize till you get off the karts but you ache for days using your upper body to fight the G-forces and wheel to take the fast bends......I think this should be a reward for 10 lbs lost and it's also a workout.

    Thanks for the idea B)

    Fried request sent.
