    Upping my calories to maintenance and continuing to lift heavy things :)

    I'm going to buy myself an above ground pool. I've started saving because I know am going to get to my goal weight.

    Probably a multi-country trekking expedition, but that has more to do with my contract ending around the time I suspect I will be hitting a number I think may or may not be my maintenance. I mean I would still take that well-deserved vacation even if I'm not at my goal weight by then.

    Weight-specific reward? I don't have anything planned. I try to normalize the process as much as possible and not overhype myself about weight or depend on something as fleeting as motivation to achieve it. Gone down that path before and it wasn't for me.

    Shopping spree for a new 'permanent' wardrobe. Everything I've bought during my journey has been 'temporary' clothes since I can only wear them for 1-2 months until I need to buy a size down.

    Aside from maintaining my weight and getting to up calories, new work out clothes would be nice and other clothes. I was thinking maybe a dress I'm finally comfortable in

    Hmm, good question. Every 10 pounds lost I treat myself to a specialty yarn or thread. So my UGW reward will most likely be new permanent clothes ( I'm buying just what I need right now. I have 5 outfits right now) . I really can't wait to be able to open a closet and see tons of outfits. I will also buy a nice pair of shoes. And a new pair of workout shoes. I will need to keep the weight off so yes new shoes.

    I've been promised tango lessons with my hubby. But honestly, the reward is going to be my improved health and fitness level. That's priceless and the ultimate gift I can give myself.

    I haven't decided yet. But I'm stashing money away now. Maybe a big tattoo

    I'm better at consequences than I am with rewards. An example might be to schedule a beach outing with friends, and tell everyone that you're wearing this bikini or those trunks. Make your SO aware that he/she is to enforce it. So now you know you'll be exposing a lot of flesh on a specific date, and it's up to you to have the willpower to make that exposed flesh look as good as you're able. It's hard to justify "rewards," in that spending money to reward myself for spending money on a healthier lifestyle, or punishing my wife by cancelling a trip because I missed my goal weight doesn't make sense.

    Shoot I don't know. I've been rewarding myself all along the way. And my goal keeps changing so I have no idea!

    Nabbing a black trenchcoat, red dress, black boots, one of those big unfolding camera props, and once again taking up the cosplay of my timetravelling superhero reporter. :smile:

    I have strange goals in life.

    Another one for a new tattoo! I'm in the process on designing a mandala I'm going to get on my shoulder. Here's a rough rough draft.

    I really haven't thought about it, probably because I don't have confidence I can do it. If money was not an issue, I'd go to Hawaii or Greece and spend two weeks on a beach wearing tiny dresses and bikinis. It would be amazing not to be ashamed of my body and not tense up every time someone is taking a picture of me.
