Ok, so right now I weigh 304, I figure maybe another good 2weeks, and I'll be below 300! My question is what should be my reward for that? It will be the first time in over 10 years, before I got married, that I will weigh less than 300 pounds. When I lost the first 10, I got my very first pedicure. Loved it!

My mom says it should be something big, because this is a big deal! I have one friend that says it should be something I've been craving, but I'm not really craving anything, because I'm not denying myself anything. Just moderating more.

So, reward ideas? I would really love to hear what y'all think.

Also, thank you for all of your support, you have all been a God send!

    Maybe a new outfit that makes you feel great about your new self. If you really want to go big, you can take a mini vacation to the lake for some r&r or to the spa for a full body treatment. Congrats on the weight loss!!!

    For me part of this process is learning new ways of treating myself that do not include food. I'm fond of massages, new books, new exercise clothes or something I need to make the workout better (HRM, MP3, etc.).

    One of my MFP friends rewards herself with shoes. I am liking the spa day idea or something of that sort will be mine.

    clothes? i just bought some new jeans and they make me feel awesome!

    get your hair done...

    see a movie in gold class...

    try not to reward yourself with food - you'll just get into those bad habits again! i like that you're eating everything in moderation - i'm trying to do the same thing myself and have found that giving into my cravings a little bit stops me from binging or gorging myself like I used to.

    I'm also all for the spa day. However, if money is tight, just get a facial! Or a facial/pedi since you liked it so much! Congratulations!

    Loving the spa Idea, but if money is an issue (it would be for me) how about a pretty scarf not a winter one but a not too expencive,expencive one. Than as you lose weight to can wear them to pep up your temp wardrob till you level where you you wish to be.I think I just talked myself into a scarf collection LOL Great job by the way and good luck on your journey.:flowerforyou:

    I haven't bought myself anything yet for losing pounds, but maybe a gift certificate for a store you'd like to buy clothes at (Assuming you aren't down a size yet) - I'm not letting myself buy clothes until stuff is just falling off or too obviously huge for me, but it would let you budget uot your new wardrobe - every 10lbs or big milestone buy yourself a 25 or 50 dollar giftcard (or whatever number is good) and when you hit a big goal or a new size, use them to buy your new wardrobe.
