I got $100 as a graduation gift (for my master's degree) I normally spend gift money on things the family needs, food, bills, etc. but decided this time I'm spending it on me for something I want not NEED. I want to use it for something that can help me on my journey to lose weight. I've lost 24pounds so far and think it's time for a reward!!!

If you had $100 what weight loss tool/equipment clothing etc would you buy?

What has been most helpful for you?

    My suggestions might sound funny.. but I usually end up rewarding myself (when I've lost weight) with things like:

    A cute pair of heels (makes my calves look awesome).
    With summer approaching.. pedicures are great.
    Clothes- especially for big weight losses.. 24 pounds should make a change in some of your clothes I'm sure! :-)
    ...Not to mention there are some lovely Nike's out there that would look and feel amaaazing on during a workout.. The pair I have right now are kinda run-down and not top quality; I'd feel like I was being treated if I got my ideal pair. :P

    a spa treatment (facial, mani/pedi, wax, maybe a new hairstyle or dye, maybe a massage...)

    Camelback water pack for the long runs in the woods. That's at the top of my list right now.

    Those things work great for everywhere, though, not just running. Long walks at summer rodeos, long shopping trips, car rides where you just don't feel like reaching all the way over for a water bottle.. Seriously amazing inventions.

    If you don't already have an HRM, I would go with that!

    I'd get a REALLY GOOD HRM, and put the rest towards new shoes for workouts. :)

    I think if its for you and you want to spoil yourself, I really believe you should pamper yourself. I'd grad a couple girlfriends and spend the day at the spa. You can get small package deals for around 100, especially at smaller boutiques. Its honestly the best reward I've ever given myself and my sister.
