in Introduce Yourself
So, the other day, I made a list of things I'm going to get when I reach certain goal weight. Like, when I lose 5 lbs, I'm going to get concert tickets I want, 10 lbs, I get an expensive pair of heels. And when I reach my UGW, I get this amazing bathing suit I've been looking at. So, what are you guys' rewards for losing weight/ getting healthier?

    When I lose 10 lbs I get a pedicure! When I lose 20 I get a salon day, cut and color and when I get my BMI below 20% I will get a new wardrobe! ... and a hot body after 3 kids!

    I have 4.4 lbs to my pedicure! Oh yeah!

    At 10 lbs my husband will return his beard to a short 5 'o clock shadow. He gave me an incentive, he is growing it out until I lose the 10. He does have to keep it trimmed.

    Nothing against beards, they look great on some men, it just doesn't fit my husband well.

    After that, my girls get to pick the incentive.... this should be interesting.

    My rewards will be much needed clothes, a trip home eventually, Navy Ball with the hubby, and a roller coaster ride. All for different reasons, but all very meaningful in their own way!

    Mine isn't so much specific things since I change my mind all the time but instead its dollar amounts. I'm starting 25lbs so I'll buy something worth $25, 50lbs is $50, etc. So at each milestone I'll decide what I want and stay around the monetary value. I wanted to do it like this because I didn't think losing 10lbs justified a $100 pair of shoes (which is like 3 times what I normally spend on a pair).... but 100lbs sure would! Plus it cuts down on the frivolous spending since I have to earn it first

    I will reward myself by being healthier and gradually buying new clothes as I get smaller. I tried using smaller rewards but for me it's about the overall lifestyle change and the positive rewards I naturally get from the change.

    I just hit 6 lbs lost and I bought a new Old Navy sports bra and workout pants...I needed them to make my everyday trips to the gym possible. But I still feel sort of special getting them - they are cute! At 10 lbs I will probably do something else special, maybe buy a cute necklace or something. Nothing too expensive. At 50 I want to buy a new purse. If I get to 100, I'm going on vacation!! I'm buying a bikini for that ;-)

    Once I get out of the 110-119's, I'm going to get my hair cut, styled and dyed. Once I get in the double digits, I'm going to get my first tattoo! UGW = HUGE shopping spree. Saving up already (':

    At my UGW I'm getting a tattoo, that'll be my ultimate reward and I know how bad I want it. :) More of a motivation.

    So far i haven't rewarded myself - due to our finiancal situation but i'm sure i will once at final goal, even my 'new clothes' are second hand from good friends xx

    that's an excellent idea!!! I might have to steal it for my own incentives.

    I am doing small rewards at every 5 pounds, like a heart rate monitor, clothes, board games. I'm also doing rewards for accomplishing other goals, like when I finish 30 days of the 30 day shred I'm going to get something, haven't really decided on what though. It's a way for me to rewards myself and control my spending at the same time. =)

    when i finally reach my goal and sustain it for a month or so i'm going on a total all out shopping spree for a new wardrobe, i figure spending that kind of money will be motivation enough to NEVER gain it back lol


    other than that my only other short term goal is to lose a pant size before my bday in sept & buy a dress for it.

    I bought a Groupon that's good for three massages. I've decided I get one every 15 pounds. To me, I feel like every pound I lose is equally hard, so it's ok that they're all the same. The incentive is extra strong because I've already paid for them, and I don't want them to go to waste, BUT I will if I don't lose the weight. No loss, no massage.

    That'll get me through my first 45 pounds, I figure that'll take long enough to think of whether I want to continue that incentive or come up with a new one.
