Did you give yourself a make-over when you got to goal?

    I finally got Invisalign done but that's pretty much it (never made it to goal though... 5 lbs away).

    Heh. No. Kinda not where my interests lie, personally.

    But if you feel like you'd like the results, or it would feel like a nice reward for meeting your weight goals, I'd absolutely encourage you. :)

    Nope, it's not really my thing. I have bought different styles of clothing though that flatter my changed figure more. And I changed up my skincare and makeup routine also, but that's more related to aging and taking care of myself than weight loss. I do think it's all tied in with body image though :smile:

    I'm for whatever makes a person feel good about themselves, even if that means drastic makeovers. But for me, meh, I have always had a similar style and I do change up my hair often (short, long, different shades) but I kind of like my geeky bespectacled self.

    Bought new 'fancier' workout clothes & a new pair of sneakers. More out of necessity than a reward though, ha! Not really into hair, makeup, nails etc. Happy for others to celebrate however they like though!

    Not really. I did buy all new clothes, but that was out of necessity.

    I had to buy a whole new wardrobe, out of necessity too. As I went down the scale, I would go to the thrift store and buy something a little bit tight and in a week or two that item would fit or be loose, and I did that over and over till I hit my goal. Now I maintain.

    I would have if there was a reason to. I have short hair, work from home and rarely wear make up, and so on. So I never saw the point. Not sure what they would make-over!

    Even at my heaviest I always took pride in my appearance so I really didn't plan a makeover.

    However the more weight I lost I started growing my nails and hair out, played with makeup a little more, took more of an interested in skin care and slowing down the aging process. I also invested in a new wardrobe and started wearing more brighter colors.

    Not really, no, but I did make myself a bunch of new clothes that I love including unicorn leggings. ;) But if it would make you happy, go for it!

    Kind of. During the entire journey I always did little things. Halfway there I cut and colored my hair. Of course new clothes because it was needed. I did also get contacts and bought a little make up (I used to wear none). So I guess you could say I did an evolving makeover and it continues to evolve lol.

    That's probably about two years away for me. But I am probably going to have a couple makeovers by then.

    I've promised myself (read: saving up for) a rhinoplasty! Unfortunately weight loss does not shrink the schnozz :P

    I think I am about a year away from goal at the current rate of loss.

    No, not unless you count getting clothes altered, or buying new clothes as the ones I had were way too big :-) But I don't knock it! If that's a way someone rewards themselves for achieving something really important go for it! You deserve it!

    I agree that the weight loss IS the makeover. I reward myself by continuing to upgrade my garage gym and by buying a new pair of Hokas every 6 months. My skin, hair, eyes and nails all look better naturally just from eating so much better.

    In a sense...I guess I did although it wasn't a reward after losing the weight. I just started feeling better about myself, so now I get my hair cut/highlighted regularly. New clothes is a given because nothing fit anymore, but I buy nicer things now.

    I'd really love to make myself over and buy some new boobs since they went away with the weight loss, but...we'll see.
