How do you celebrate achieving your milestones? Other than a "woo-hoo", nothing makes sense to me. Food is a natural component of celebrating, but I'm not depriving myself of anything. I'm just not binging. I'm no fan of shopping to celebrate. Kinda boring for me. I buy what is needed when it is needed.

So, how do you celebrate?

    I don't care for shopping as well but I have to say, I'm starting to like it now that I wear pants that are 4 sizes smaller than before. I have been getting them at thrift store so I don't waste $ while losing but I'm getting new shorts for the summer

    I splurge on a massage or on doing something I've wanted to do that I've been putting off for whatever silly reason. If I still can't come up with something, I'll add extra monies to my fun fund.

    Shoes :tongue:

    Honestly, clothes help me feel better- wearing baggy clothes makes me feel like I have not accomplished much. I like to mix it up between fitness clothes and work clothes. I would totally do a manicure too- I rarely indulge myself like that.

    I'm finally getting myself a real gym membership this summer, as well as some more supplements and workout clothes.

    Tattoos. Although, I don't really have milestones anymore. I make fitness goals and I just feel fabulous when I can finally say 'I did it.'

    I'm generally like that, too, but there are some obvious weight and size related exceptions. Like, after you lose weight, it's kind of fun to get new clothes.

    When I got down near my goal weight, I got a set of expensive carbon fiber wheels for my bike. While they don't have a rider weight limit, they work much better now than they would have a few years ago.

    I haven't really celebrated any of mine except to feel like I was starting to look so much better.

    So, how do you celebrate?

    I celebrate by doing something.

    So ... I'll cycle up Mt Wellington. That is a long tough climb! But I can do it now because I'm lighter and fitter! :)

    Or I'll cycle a long, long distance.

    Or I'll go for a challenging hike.

    Oh me too for the exact same reason. I still have 20 lbs to lose and on my small frame it's a huge difference.my old clothes were WAY too big any more so they are GONE for good. I just can't pay full price for clothes I want to grow out of in the next three- four months.

    Cake sounds like a good idea.

    more self-care! whether it's a nice bath or just feeling better about myself. i'll usually do extra work because i feel good and then end up feeling even better.
    shopping or buying rewards seems nice too, maybe work out clothing?

    I just let myself ride the joy of achievement. I'm not a shopper and don't really do girly self care things either. I eat what I like using portion control so and don't really have "treat" foods.

    And I set a new goal lol.

    I think I might buy a new bike for getting to 240.

    I have a reward every 5 lbs, some are shopping related (i.e. new shoes or earrings), some are special pamper yourself type like manicure or pedicure. But the big rewards are my "adventure" ones, like a girls night out, weekend get away, trip to go kayaking etc. (These of course are bigger weight loss rewards)

    I have lost 25lbs and have about 60 more to go
