I want to start making a list of rewards as I loose weight. Has anyone does this and what rewards did you treat yourself to?

    Some people are motivated by rewards ... I'm not.

    But I suppose the biggest reward I've had is that I can get back into a whole collection of clothes I had in storage. :) It's nice to be able to wear this stuff again.

    yes! I am one of those people that is motivated by rewards.
    Sometimes it's 'stuff', like a great new purse or pair of shoes, or my fave thing so far an ultrasonic aromatherapy diffuser, and sometimes I reward myself with TIME to do something completely frivolous, and I have no guilt about it. Like playing 'candy crush' or solitaire or some total time waster like that.

    We are working hard. and I like a reward for working hard.
    what's that saying. Losing weight is hard, maintaining weight is hard, being fat is hard...choose your hard.
    and now you get a prize for choosing the right hard! yay you! So enjoy your rewards @Sara45431

    I haven't made a 'list'....but now that you've mentioned it, I think a list is a GREAT idea. I need something to get me through the next 15 pounds. Gonna make my list tonight over my favorite cup of Tea. oh that was another reward I gave myself, a container of Aveda Wellness Tea. It's made with licorice root and is sweet and minty and totally lovely.

    I don't miss my evening glass of wine at all! (said no one ever) lol

    My reward is going to be not hating myself as much. Also spending money on new clothes

    Not really, I respond more to achieving the goals themselves, or to things I tell myself like "finish off time on the machine or # of repetitions so it's a round number" or "do five more minutes". Which I do find rewarding, I guess :) Also I try to just enjoy the process, I try to make appetizing meals, etc.

    If I were to give myself some kind of reward, it'd be something small, like a pedicure, or yet another red lipstick.

    Or (if you're working out), workout gear or clothes, maybe?
