My first mini goal is to lose 20-30 lbs by May of this year. The doctor said he'd like me to be under 200 lbs, when I see him again, but it's not mandatory. So, I thought I'd put the pressure on myself and shoot for the stars (within reason).

My "prize" for this mini goal? I don't know yet! Some new jeans, maybe! LOL

I think that's a very good goal, shooting for the stars is great

I love setting rewards for myself My favorite is "taking the day off" Where I send the family away and have the house to myself... usually spend it cleaning, but that in itself can be therapeutic! Also sometimes I let myself buy that expensive seafood item, something that's still healthy but not in the budget for a normal meal.

Thanks, everybody! After I typed this, I found a pair of jeans in my closet that I bought a few years ago while I was visiting my brother in NC for his basic training graduation. I only got to wear them a couple of times, so I think they are my goal/prize. They are a size 14/15 (not sure which).

Ooh I love the reward you give yourself/your favorite one ZoahLia! I bet it is relaxing to have the house to yourself.
