    Thought I would do something big when I reached my goal wt, but the truth is I really haven't done anything yet. I got some new clothes along the way out of necessity, but nothing just as a splurge. I am trying to maintain and have always found it hard to reward myself. My hubby gave me money for a massage and a spa day, but I just can't seem to splurge on myself.There the money sits in my wallet.What's wrong with me?????

    A body and health I am proud of!

    ^^ this. The results ARE the reward

    This. That's all I've ever wanted...

    I completely agree with you guys, but sometimes it's hard to see the big picture in the day to day struggle. Most of us here were used to a life style of not being very healthy, so smaller goals and rewards can help stay focused on being healthy until it becomes routine.

    I don't find award type rewards at all motivating. If I need something, I buy it. If I can't afford it, I figure out a less expensive alternative. Anything that would be enough to really motivate me would be way out of my budget regardless.

    Having said that, I was really excited with the new workout pants I bought this weekend. I couldn't wait to get to the gym! So I've decided that my 'rewards' will be things that are motivating because using them will make me healthier. So I guess I will be purchasing the reward before of earned them lol. I think my next investment will be a wok pan for making stir-fry.

    Once I lose enough weight that I can't just wear my jeans with a belt anymore, I'll buy myself all new ones. That way I get a reward and I look good in new jeans and can show off my fitter body. I've lose 4 pant sizes so far and have felt better each time I zip up a new smaller pair.

    I'm thinking about having some pin-up photos taken when I get to my goal weight. I did a group retro/pin-up photoshoot as part of a bachelorette party when I'd just started my diet and had a blast. I think I'd like to have some "after" photos to match the set.


    That sounds awesome! My mom and sister are both photographers, so I would love to do this with a few of my friends. Now if I can just find healthier friends lol

    When I drop 18 lbs I will buy a new vintage dress I love vintage clothing

    Me too! I've started making a lot of my own vintage stuff. It gives me something to do when I'm bored at the house lol

    Awesome good for you!!

    I am going to get a massage and have a spa day, get a tattoo, maybe get my belly button pierced and dare I say if I make it to my UGW I want to have some boudoir photos taken (YIKES)

    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 (':

    Have you talked to a doctor about your goals? I saw your profile, and I don't think that your weight loss goals are healthy. You should speak to a doctor before you diet when you are already in a healthy weight/bmi range. Your goal bmi is much less than is healthy or recommended. I just worry that you could make yourself sick, people do die from dieting too much.

    I also make 5 lb goals such as getting a new pair of shoes or getting a pedicure. As I get closer to my goal weight I have picked goals that include date nights with my husband where I can wear certain outfits that I haven't been able to fit into in a very long time. I even hang certain outfits out so I can see them daily to remind me of how badly I want to work for it :)

    I will still be alive. lost 23 kg (51Pounds) after a heart attack.
    Reward enough.
    But 10 kg to go and look like a chop stick at 75 kg.
    Going from a 40 inch waist to a 32 was great fun in the shop trying on cloths.
    Even lost a shoe size so my feet even got fatter amazing.

    For every 5 lbs, a nonfat black & white moch from Starbucks. 30 lbs, a tattoo. Goal weight, new wardrobe ; )

    I hadn't thought past my first reward, but you guys have some great idea. (except no tatts for me!)

    When I lose my first 20#, I will buy a HRM that I can use in the pool. I have a tendency to swim too hard, so get over tired and then won't go back due to pain.

    When I reach my UGW, I want to have my breast rejuvenated. Several years ago, my DD had a breast reduction, so I know a great doctor. I also wouldn't mind a tummy tuck, but most likely won't spend the money on that.

    I'll have to think up some others along the way.

    Ultimate goal weight...I think I'll go on a cruise with my husband. Until then I am making payments on a ring I have on layaway. As long as I stay on track I'll get my ring. Should take 10 months to get to goal and get my ring so it works. :)

    When I reach my goal, I'm going to reward myself by never wearing clothes again.
    Thread-winning post right here.

    so many times i have thought about what i will reward myself with. truthfully, no pedicure/bag/new bathing suit etc can equal the reward of just being happy with my body. my rewards will be, not hating myself in pictures, not feeling self conscious every day, not hating shopping for new clothing, not beating myself up every time i catch a glimpse of myself in a mirror.

    When you get to double digits, you'll probably pass out during your tattoo.

    Well my ultimate goal is once I lose enough, we are going to try for another baby =]

    But every 10 pounds that I lose, my husband is going to take me out to a nice dinner or lunch where I can splurge and eat as many calories as I want. That and for every 10 pounds, I get to buy a new outfit (or something I want at the time)...because honestly if I keep losing I don't see the point in buying a lot of clothes that I'm not gonna fit in anymore..
