Rewards?

Wanted to get a feel for what type of 'reward' systems other people have in place... do you do it for every 5 lbs? Every 10 lbs? Not until you reach your final goal?
Are they little interval rewards like a mani/pedi, massage, tanning, or just one big reward at the end like a vacation or new wardrobe?
Any input's appreciated, and feel free to add me.

I dont have one... I though looking better was the reward.
Although i do want to go out to a club and stand tall, feel sexy, and dance the night away.

Every week I have a mini goal and reward:)
My goal every week is to lose 2 pounds! If I hit that (again, just a guideline:P) some rewards include:
Driving to Lake Michigan to walk the beach/pier
Buy a book
Get hair done
Go to museums
mani/pedi
buy new running gear
Visit one of my favorite towns in northern MI
Buy a spring dress
It's kind of expensive being a girl and rewarding yourself sometimes!haha
SO worth it though:)0 -
I set up small rewards AND a huge reward.
Small rewards were: new, smaller clothes. New shoes. Haircut. Stuff like that. Nothing overly expensive and NOTHING food related!
HUGE goal (which I've reached my ultimate goal - I'm actually under it now!) is a new tattoo. Just need to have the time and the money at the same time. LOL0 -
I have a bunch of rewards set up for myself. I have a total of 220 lbs to lose, so I need to stay motivated!
For every 15 lbs I lose I get to get a new piercing (I love piercings! I used to have a lot but I had to take them all out recently)
For every 50 lbs I lose I get $50 worth of new art supplies.
When I FINALLY reach my goal weight I'm going to have a HUGE party/fundraiser dinner to raise money for my skin removal surgeries
I also have a bunch of tattoo's that I want to get that I can only start getting after I've maintained my healthy weight for a year! I might institute so smaller one's for maintaining.0 -
Actually i am going to set one right now. when i get down 16 more pounds i am going jean shopping.0
