    I treat myself to a new song on IPOD for my running playlist with every pound lost.

    When I get to my goal weight I will enter myslef for a half marathon this time next year.

    Great ideas! I was only thinking of a reward at the end. But, I like the idea of small rewards along the way for little milestones reached. I better start making a list.....Hey this whole diet thing could turn out to be just as good as Christmas!!! (without the milk and cookies)

    I am all about the little rewards along the way. In no particular order (except the tattoo) they are as follows...

    Facial
    Pedicure
    Hair cut and color (at the expensive place)
    Rock Climbing classes
    Bare Minerals starter set (that's the really nice mineral make-up)
    New workout clothes
    Tattoo ( which I will get on the anniverary of my back surgery, but I will have to had lost 48lbs to get it)
    Cooking classes (ones that focus on healthy cooking)

    That's it so far but I'm sure I'll think of more things to reward myself with! I love the idea of a new song on my iPod for every pound lost! I think I'll have to start using that one!

    I'm with you on the Bare Minerals!
    Is Sheer Cover cheaper or about the same?

    One thing I'm going to reward myself with is a shopping trip with my daughter where I try things on and I don't think or say that I am fat! We can look at clothes together and just have fun.

    The other reward will be bragging rights on how strong I am because of my workouts - I'll be able to make it through that soccer game with our youth group this summer without being unable to walk for 3 days - because I was so out of shape :tongue: I can't wait to actually see the muscle definition!

    I think they run about the same on cost. I haven't heard much about it though. I know the Bare Minerals starter set is aroun $85. I think that might be my first 20lb lost reward:happy:

    I bought a size 10 pair of jeans. I don't know what that is in US sizes, I think it might be a 6...?

    My reward will be looking great in them!

    this might sound a little weird but i'm getting my belly button pierced if i make my goal! (oops, i guess i mean WHEN i make my goal) when i was in high school, i always wanted to get it done. and then i had some health problems when i turned 18 and could have gotten it done. since then i haven't been proud of my stomach and wanted to show it off. i'm hoping to get back to the place where i'm excited about looking at my belly again!

    This is TOTALLY my reward too! I am going to the Virgin Islands in July and want to get my belly button repierced. I had it once before and I was still a size 14 and let me tell you I just FELT sexy, even if no one saw it but me. I can't wait to actually show it off this summer!! :bigsmile:

    You guys are funny. These are good goals and mighty fine rewards. It goes to show you that each of us have a different type of "reward" in mind. I have tattoos so that's out, I have those "skinny" clothes to get back into so a new wardrobe is out. I was thinking about rewarding myself by getting my wife new boobs. I can say that can't I? She always wanted a reason to buy the twins a bigger house.

    My friend Midgekin and myself are going to Disneyland!!! We totally can't wait. I know it sounds so cliche but we haven't been for years and I, personally, can't wait to be able to sit in one of those roller coaster seats and not feel like I'm gonna have a seat shaped butt when the ride is over.
    Yay for the magic kingdom!

    I never really thought about a physical reward at my goal. Better health and looking good work for me. I too already have the skinny clothes and several tattoos. Maybe a nice new stereo for my car... or having highlights done at a fancy salon...I like the idea of a trip to Vegas though.... Who knows!

    Haha, that's mine! Really, I hadn't thought of any reward except maybe a tummy tuck (but that's really far down the line, so expensive).
    My husband's been gone for a month already & will be home in April, and we each are working out & eating better, so we can surprise each other when he gets home. :love: I won't be at my goal by that time (at least I don't anticipate it), but still will be nice to have lost a bit of the jigglies.

    aw so sweet....I think "quality time" w/ the hubbies is great!!!

    Um...haven't really thought of a goal....but this thread has got my brain tickin...lol....

    I too have the old cloths I want to fit in...the health benefits are also key....my goal at the end is going to be I think....taking a long weekend getaway w/ my son and hubby to our timeshare....with a pool....and not being on the side lines or going in w/ my big shorts on.....AND begin trying again for baby #2~ lol tee hee!

    hugs!

    I like this idea. I think I'll have to set a goal with a reward. 4 years ago when I did weight watchers, I was going to get a tattoo when I reached goal. I got off track and never made goal. I finally got tired of waiting and got the tattoo I had in mind just a few weeks ago. I'll put some thought into it. I think I might set some small goals w/small rewards instead of one big goal w/a big reward.
    What kind of tattoo did you get??

    My reward is getting me back.
    NO more trips to lane giant
    no more worrying if my shirt is covering up my gu
    no more chaffed thighs during the summer
    no more over priced ugly clothes
    no more giant panties
    being able to buy pretty bras and not gigantic boulder holders
    knowing that I took the time to learn how to eat right and taught my kids the same in a healthy way
    and a treat for the hubby, some nice bedroom attire that hopefully wont be on long
    Oh, and lets face it I am shopping my *kitten* off and after a year or two if my boobs don't make it back I will consider a masopexy but that is a big big big maybe on the boobs, eventually they all get saggy!

    For every pound I lose I treat myself to a new song on my IPOD for my running playlist.

    My treat to myself to myself when I have got to my goal will be to enter a 1/2 marathon this time next year. :)

    That is a REALLY great idea! I think I might have to steal this one!!

    I some rewards for along the way - 10 lb is some new makeup, 15 lb is nail polish or something like that - 30lb is pedicure and manicure!! Nice - never had a professional one before. But I will HAVE to buy new clothes along the way as I have no "skinny" clothes. I already have 2 pair of jeans that just about fall off - I LIKE THAT!! You're right, that is a reward in itself!

    Can I just say DITTO!!!! I would give anything for a cute bra..... I will probaby have to have a reduction and lift operation to get there, but I would love to be in the cute bra world. I haven't seen that since I was a teenager, and I don't seem to lose in the chest when I diet. I will look like a freak when I get all this weight off. I willl be ALL boobs and I really hate it. It makes me so self concious. Really, it looks very abnormal.
