    I like these ideas. I am unable to set these kind of goals. I feel too pressured. Though I shall try this idea. My reward may be to go out to the theatre and wear one of my many dresses I've been holding on to. Mmmm..... It's set me thinking.

    Same here 3 more pounds and I'll hit a goal. Not sure what to do. Never had a mani/pedi. I already get massages. Have tons of books, dvds. Not sure what to do really. Not at the point for new clothes as mine still fit just a little nicer lol. Jewelry..meh. Kinda lost atm on what to do.

    Any suggestions for a reward when i reach 10 lbs lost?

    I looked at your ticket, and still can't figure out what is your goal. Are you trying to get to 175LB or lose 175LB?

    i'm trying to lose 175...basically cut my weight in half..to get my bmi to the green zone :)

    This may sound silly but I never find time to make my playlists. Perhaps if you meet your goal and you use an ipod/mp3 mark time in your calendar to just sit, listen to some music and create a great, motivational playlist for the new and improved you!

    And once I get listening to music time speeds up with all the nostalgia and emotion. *shrug* It is a cheap reward but may help with your new goals and the time is well spent on you and just you.

    I like your brain. i too never take the time....this is probably the winner! I may even spend $15 on an itunes card and buy a few new songs.

    Your friends and family may have some suggestions. My husband is arranging for me to do "something I've always wanted to do" as a reward if I get all the way through the 30 Day Shred. I have no idea what it is, but the suspense is motivating too! ;) A massage or good haircut (with head massage) is something else on my list of non-food rewards. :)

    I've lost a bit over 4.6kgs (10lbs) and bought myself a new dress, just because! Even though it's only 1/4 of my goal, I'm still catching a look at myself in the mirror and grinning like an idiot. Progress, people! :D

    Next 10lb loss = a weekend in the Greek Islands, c/o an awesome, supportive boyfriend!

    2 weeks ago when I hit 10kg I booked my first paragliding lesson, then set myself a challenge to lose another 2Kg before it happens (this saturday, weather permitting).

    I have a jar that I put $1 in every time I work out. So instead of rewarding myself at a "pounds lost" mark, I save up the money in the jar and think about what I'll spend it on. So that's not super helpful to your question, I know, but if you do that you have more time to think about what reward you want and have an actual monetary fund to use.


    I decided on a new bathing suit, then changed my mind to work out gear, then to a massage, then to new running sneakers, then new sexy lingerie, but haven't officially decided on anything yet...I may spend it on whatever the hell I want when I go on vacation in 2 weeks. The longer I wait to spend that money by not having a "pounds lost" goal, the more money I'll have and the longer I get to think about what I want to get.


    Maybe go to a water park or amusement park?

    I saw on your profile that one of your goals is to be sexy for your wife - so how about an awesome date night with her?

    Also, I know everyone is saying guys don't like shoes - but you could reward yourself with a good pair of running shoes. In your profile pic you're wearing court shoes to run, which are terrible for your feet and knees. Some good shoes might feel great too.

    When I lose 10 lb I plan to reward myself with this nice lavendar bath / skin treatment. It smells like heaven and leaves you very relaxed.
