    Not particularly creative, but clothes. Specifically clothes that fit properly. Worked wonders for me.

    The most creative would imo be to stop expecting rewards for doing a small daily effort for your health.

    I work for rewards. I love the Weight Watchers stickers and the participant ribbons from races. My favourite reward is a signing up for a race.

    Also consider bubble bath, a packet of seeds, a pat on the back, blogging your success, a "boast board" where you post ribbons or other evidence of milestones, or a scrapbook.

    I got a new fitness tracker when I got halfway to my goal weight. It really helped me step up the work for the second half too

    I have a list, lol. Increases with each step lost. Seems like a lot but when I get down to the lower weights, it's going to be much longer gaps between each five pounds. They're things I've been wanting but can't always justify getting.

    180: Beauty Blender
    175: Etude House Bubble Tea Sleeping Pack
    170: Puppia Harness and Leash
    165: Foaming Clay Mask
    160: Spotify Subscription (1 Year)
    155: Snuper Album
    150: Recumbent Bike
    145: Face Paint Book
    140: Ears Pierced
    135: V Live+ Subscription (1 Year)
    130: Laser hair removal
    125: New heeled and tall boots
    120: Makeup shopping ($500 budget)
    115: New purse/bag
    110: Clothes shopping ($1500 budget)

    My next mini milestone is a "bunch of fresh flowers" for the dining table. I also use things like "foot massage" if I reach a step goal for example, or shoulder massage if I reach a swimming goal. (Eg 100k steps in one week = foot massage). I have tried to predict when I will need new clothes - I set these milestones as well. I guess I try to make the rewards match the achievement in some way if possible, but also throw in the occasional treat.

    This whole journey is a way of really looking after yourself, so I do enjoy little rewards and treats along the way.

    I like using recovery rewards when in training - a massage if I hit a PR, etc. Recently I decided if I hit my goal PR before my meet that I could do a Cryotherapy session..it's scheduled for this Thursday and I'm beyond excited. If I win my meet, I get to order a Pioneer belt or buy some new work out gear.
