    I wish my shoes from 70 lbs ago still fit.
    My feet are smaller. LOL.

    I sometimes go get a tall skinny caramel macchiato from Starbucks. It only has 140 calories and is a nice little treat. I don't do that very often though. :drinker:

    For my 100lb weightloss, I went out and bought 2 new pairs of running sneakers. When I get to goal (another 130lbs to go!) I am going to reward myself with a new car - I will need one by then, and am saving money to be able to get it.

    I also like the idea of a savings account per pound, and per workout! That would increase my savings for the car!!

    Shoes is my number one reward :D

    Facial/massage/mani-pedi are other ones I've used.

    I treat myself by a day out, like window shopping or going to the cinema something that makes me forget im actually on a diet. Also clothes again =] love when you fit in a smaller size.

    I have a trip planned to Put-In-Bay Ohio (only about a 2 hour drive, but a fun place) the second week of July. Those 3 days I'm letting myself not log and have fun. I'm hoping to have reached my goal of weight, fat loss and muscle gain by then. My gift to myself is to be comfortable in a bikini.

    I set big goals!!!! My first 50 lbs I did a Pole Dancing class. I'm 4 lbs away from my second goal of 50lbs and I'm getting a new tatoo.:happy:

    clothing would be my first, but im right there with the tattoos, nothing like showing off a piece of art on the body you have worked so hard to achieve :smile:

    For those of you who like to reward yourself with gym clothes, you might be interested in joining Earndit.com. You get credit for being active by earning points, which you can spend on rewards, like new workout clothing and energy bars. I redeemed a reward from Body Rock and the clothes I got from them are really nice.

    an extra special workout like...

    a sunrise run on the coney island boardwalk
    or renting a boat in central park and rowing all day
    or some fun interesting class on living social

    something that will fuel me til I get to the next goal :D

    Good luck!!!

    Going to see The Stone Roses in The Phoenix Park, Dublin on 5th July. Going to buy a tour t-shirt in medium instead of large. Need to be down 15 lbs to fit into medium. Fingers crossed I'll do it x

    So many great responses and ideas. Thank you guys! So glad I joined this site. Just came back from working out with my trainer and my workout was outside at the park...beautiful but extra hot (I live in Florida). However I kept saying to myself..."you can do it, so you can get another pair of shoes" LOL

    Oh another reward I will do is to take a pole dancing calss. Sure my hubby will be happy about that but this is about me and to bust my sexiness back. I can't wait!!!!

    I also get new gym gear but my new thing is to get a full body massage. Definitely, worth the time working out.

    Y'know I've lost 10 now (actually 13... I lost 3 before MFP) but I haven't really done anything :P I always figured I would reward myself every short term weight loss... but hey, I think I'll just save up and have a big shopping spree once I'm done(; I pretty much refuse to buy ANY clothing (besides workout gear) until I've lost the weight 'cause I've got some really cute blouses that are already starting to be too big for me and it's kinda annoying(; lol

    for every 10 lbs I have lost I have bought myself a new pair of earrings. When I reach my goal of 100 lbs only 1.5 lbs to go I am going to buy myself a bra from victoria secrets because a couple yrs ago I went shopping with my daughter and she wanted to go to victoria secrets because they were having a bra sale well nothing in the store fit me. So this is my reward. I have never thought about getting a tatoo but lately been thinking about maybe getting a small dragonfly to represent never going back....dragonflies go through a metamorphosis and can never go back to what they were......

    I have yet to follow through with rewarding myself. Right now I owe myself a pedicure for hitting my first mini goal of 20 lbs. When I hit my goal weight, I am buying myself a piece of jewelry. I'm also saving $2 per pound I lose to help buy new clothes.

    My goal was to fit into a Victoria Secret Bra, I did not have an exact number of weight to lose. I got fitted saturday at victoria secret and got myself a push up bra :D

    My next goal is to lose 15 lbs more and I am going to splurge on a DEVA hair cut.

    I am a nail polish and shoe fanatic, so I would either buy one of those items are some new hair. LOL. I haven't bought a wig in quite some time. I think that will be my reward when I've lost 20 lbs.

    Very nice. That is something I want on my next tattooo (like my screen name hehe) so hopefully by the end of this summer I have lost another 20lbs.
