I know some of you might go "Isn't loosing the weight reward enough in and of itself?" Well yeah but having mini goal rewards make it all the more fun! :-D

So after hitting 10lbs lost this morning I'd like to pick some rewards for myself that are nonfood related. Today I think I might reward myself by taking it easy today and NOT thinking about exercise, just for one day, like a mini vacation! But anyway I'd like to come up with rewards for every 10lbs lost. I'll need 9 in all since I already came up with the first one.

Here's what it will look like for me
250=20lbs lost
240=30lbs lost
230=40lbs lost (This is my wedding weight)
220=50lbs lost (I haven't been this small since I was in high school)
210=60lbs lost
200=70lbs lost
190=80lbs lost
180=90lbs lost
170=100lbs lost (I haven't been this small since before middle school.)

What are some rewards you have picked out for yourself? Mine should probably revolve around video games, movies and outdoor activities... I'd also like to get a massage at some point... That might be a good one for my 50lbs lost reward. :-)

    I've rewarded myself with mani/pedi, new shoes, and buying clothes! Anything that helps show off your success will help keep you motivated.

    New Clothes is what I would do. The smaller the size and the better the fit the better I feel!

    I'd definitely do the massage. How about this:

    20 lb loss you schedule a neck massage; 30 lb loss schedule a hand/foot massage plus a pedicure; and later on down the road (say your 50 lb loss) schedule a full body massage?

    Great job on setting mini-goals and milestones for yourself!

    My ten was haircut. I have some things on my mental list but haven't put anything down in writing yet. I am 4 from 20 pounds and that reward will be new dvd player for bedroom for my exercise dvds.

    On my mental lists I have pedicure, new bras, ten speed bike and tattoo!

    I am thinking that tattoo will be at onederland (14 to go!)

    Definitely some pampering for yourself depending on what you can afford (mani/pedi, facial, massage or a combo of all 3). An indulgence of something you enjoy like a concert, play, or if you are a big kid like me maybe some kind of adventure park trip. And the best reward right behind the weight loss.........shopping. A pair of shoes, new undies, a piece of jewelry, purse or if you aren't into those things whatever you would like to indulge in. I know my goals are more pamper and shopping related but I'm thinking of making a vitamix a treat for making my ultimate goal. I've wanted one forever but they are pricey. The health benefits are great though.
