Looking for ideas and suggestions for "rewards"

I bought some new workout clothes this past week for my 20lb loss. Its clothing but functional and will motivate me to work out more and look cute!

New outfit or piece of clothing or accessory (belt, jewelry, shoes, purse). Salon trip.

I reward myself with things like a pedicure/manicure or a new book to read, maybe take myself out to the movies (I enjoy going by myself occasionally) or buying a new piece of jewelry like a necklace or earrings. They are treats to remind myself of how good I'm doing and keep me motivated to keep going. The final reward is of course a new wardrobe so I'm saving for that with all that money I save by not eating out so much.

I bought workout pants and some new training shoes. I also buy a new charm for my Pandora bracelet for a bigger milestone.

Congratulations on your 20lb loss

Maybe a pedicure, massage, or facial. Something to help you relax and get pampered. I need to come up with a list too.

Eye lash Dye
Blow dry
Nails painted
New Purse
New Undies
Facial
New Purfume

These are the rings I have rewarded myself with..if only i'd lost some weight LOL

For me, mini goal #1 will be rewarded with a pedicure. mini goal #2 will be some turbofire gear. mini goal #3 (and final weight goal) will be a new tattoo. And final goal which is completing my workout program will be to get certified to teach TurboKick

That is a totally personal thing it really is whatever makes YOU happy

but some ideas i love

manicure/ pedicure

beauty day: haircut or facial or massage

a new healthy cookbook

a new workout shirt

a new health item you've had your eye but haven't spent the money on yourself yet: an oil mister, food scale, juicer, grill pan

if budget is a primary concern maybe just schedule a coffee date with a friend or a relaxation day complete with favorite movie, bubble bath, and sleeping in without guilt

congrats!

Actually I have been checking out the summer clearances online and buying cloths in my expected size for next summer. They are cheap and helps keep me motivated to fit into them. Then maybe if we go somewhere warm in Feb, then maybe I will also have something to wear.

Sounds like the 20 pound weight loss is a reward in itself.

Honestly, I get what you are saying but what I can share from my own personal weight loss experience is the idea and pattern of getting into a reward even if it's healthy may need to be reconsidered. Only because it keeps one focused on the weight. The back and forth with weight loss, reward, weight loss reward...can tend to keep you stuck to the "weight" and though it is a healthy thing to lose the excess weight, it can also politely set you up to continuing to stay stuck to the scale etc. and eventually the food will call. If you lose enough weight and you are in a pattern of a reward, eventually you will consider the food because you have lost enough weight to justify a "treat". Now this may not happen for you but for many people I have coached and trained and even for my own weight loss journey, it is usually the case. So just some thoughts to ponder.

When you go about your new lifestyle and just do what is in front of you and go places that have food items that you know set you up but you don't even think about it or even say to yourself, I know its there but I can't have that...when those thoughts go away, you know you have made a change. When the idea of needing a reward goes away, you know you have made a change (mentally).

Keep up the great work and if you want to still consider an idea of a reward, a great affirmation book is great!

I like to do active rewards. Activities that are a reward, but a calorie burn too. Like swimming or going somewhere else to cross country ski.

However, as I am getting closer to a big goal myself, I am finding less desire for any reward. If that makes any sense.
