    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

    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.

    I've bought a lot of new clothing lately. Although, most of it is running stuff.

    Mostly my reward will winning the office "Biggest Loser" and spending my colleague's "buy in" money on beer for all of us. Oh, and drinking beer again.

    the ultimate reward will be the fact that I did it, however I'll probably get myself a new tattoo.

    when i know i'm doing well for a while, i'll treat myself to a cookie or two. i've completely cut out juice and pop, with a cup of 2% milk here and there. i used to drink all three ALL THE TIME. now, i know i just like the taste/texture. i don't need it. so i will have a sip of a friend's just to satisfy my damnable taste buds. or i'll get a slushy if i've lost a good amount!

    When I reach 50 lbs lost I want to go Rock Climbing!
    It's something I've always wanted to try, but always felt too heavy for.
    Didn't really trust someone holding all 270 lbs of me in the air.

    So far I'm a little over halfway there!

    Five more pounds and some muscle tone and I'll get a massage. When I hit my goal, I'll get a whole day at a destination spa :-)

    My reward for reaching my ultimate goal is a new tattoo. I've hit my first mini goal and still haven't decided on my rewards for those though.

    I'm planning on registering for my first half marathon in Disneyworld when I'm under 200. :) Up until then, little things - new workout clothes, a new pair of shoes, possibly a heart rate monitor...
