You hit your goal weight! What did you go out and splurge on? Was it a new bikini? Awesome designer jeans? Nice lingerie? :bigsmile:

My goal is to wear a bikini and look hot in it! I'm excited to see what others have already bought *or* are waiting to buy!

    Some less mumsy clothes I've never worn a bikini in my life and since having kids I never will so that's not on the list lol

    I'm planing on getting my belly button repierced since it was a bad one done when I was 17. But I'm going to do that for my birthday in August. When I'm fully comfortable with my body I'm getting a ribcage tattoo something symbolic of my kids and husband... just not sure what yet! :) Oh and new clothes.

    When I first hit 300lbs 20 years ago my idea was a spangly red evening dress. I lived in Vegas what can I say. :bigsmile:

    20 years later and still over 300 my views on that dress has changed. I'm thinking more 1950's cocktail style dress now. Hopefully, within a couple years I will hit my goal weight and who knows what I will want then!

    I'm pretty much at goal. I have about 5 pounds to go before my BMI is in the teens, and I may go for that, so I'm not willing to call myself totally done, but I'm pretty happy where I'm at, and if I never go lower, I'm good with that. So, last week, to treat myself, I bought a really sexy, amazing pair of designer jeans. I think that even if I lose another 5-10, they will still fit well. Or heck, I'll have them altered if I need to. ;) The other thing I'm thinking I'll buy, if I can find just the right ones, is a bustier and a great pair of heels. Then, I'll put them all together and wear them out with my sexy hubby!

    I'm 18 lbs from goal...but I'm planning on buying myself a nice big tattoo :) On the way to goal I have splurged on expensive jeans though. Fitting in to designer jeans again was a huge accomplishment for me.

    I just want to be able to buy clothes from the high street, not plus sized stores :mad:

    they are always far to expensive and never as nice

    I'm half way to goal...9.1 pounds down, 9 to go. I want to be able to buy and look good in a nice pair of jeans. Jeans shopping has always been such a horrific experience...I want that to stop.

    Well, my goal is pretty enormous so I decided I'd reward myself at intervals too, so I didn't give up. I'm NEARLY at half of my goals 50 kilograms (110-ish pounds) out of 100 (220). I have already bought my reward - a heap of clothes from Clandestine Industries. I have to promise not to wear them until I'm 50kg down.

    I figure I'll find something else once I'm 75 and 100 kilograms less. I have no idea what, yet. Perhaps something from modcloth or some nice boots.

    I'd say bikini, but I think no matter how small I won't be comfortable in it. I just want to see what it looks like :)

    I hadn't really thought about what I want, yet. Possibly a bike.

    I haven't set myself any mini goals, but when I get to the fial goal, I intend to get myself a new tattoo on my lower leg of a russian doll. It'll be my last but I'm not going to get it done until I reach that point. Clothes wise - just buy anything thats smaller which I like. I don't intend to ever try and wear a bikini (I'd look hidious no matter what size) so thats off the cards - maybe some nice jeans and a nice top to go with them. Havne't decided yet :/

    When I reach my 100 lbs loss, I'm going to buy a Coach purse. And when I reach my final goal weight, my husband says he will buy me my caret diamond ring for my right hand. Lots of good goals to reach for!

    A new bikini, which was a big deal for me because I always shopped end of season clearance. Buying a bikini in May seemed like such an indulgance! Granted, it was at Kohl's so it was already half price and I had a coupon...

    Then I bought two more at JCP at half price, too. :blushing:

    I needed shorts, too. Last year's are in danger of falling down. :happy:

    I'm 15 lbs from goal so I'm not there yet but my big slurge will be my tattoo I've wanted for years. It will be an entire side peice so I won't be getting it immediatly but it's what I want.

    Throughout the months though I've bought myself mini goal gifts like my smaller tattoos on my wrists, new swimwear.....including bikinis, new clothes in general, new smaller sized workout gear.

    I like treating myself to spa-ish things......so I see a pedicure in my future for sure.

    I also plan on upgrading my home gym, so buying a punching bag and some heavier dumbells are on my list of gifts to buy myself and these things will help me reach my ultimate goal so I see it as a win win.

    A cute dress with a really defined waist! I currently have no waist and it's really hard to find dresses, I do skirts and tops but the dress thing will be great. And I haven't worn a bikini since I was in high school so that would be awesome!

    What won't I be buying? Considering I have a terrible love for shopping already, when I finally reach my goal Topshop had better be ready! lmao
