I have listed below my ticker the rewards I have set myself during my weigh loss. I was just interested in seeing if anyone else has set rewards and what kind of rewards you set. Anyone got any good ideas?

This is really expensive but I'm thinking about, once I get down to 240 (the lowest Ive been in about 8 years), sending myself to fat camp. hahaha. I've always wanted to go to one of those adult weight loss programs and, the last time I got down to 240, I stopped dieting because I was getting to a stage where the negative health effects were not as apparent and I was fitting into clothes better and my motivation dissipated. I figure that that is the point when getting expert advice and motivation could help me the most and I'll be having a fun, healthy vaycay to boot!

I was actually just thinking about this the other night...I think its because I saw your signature in a prior post and it made me think about it...lol...my rewards I'm still thinking about but it will go in 5 lb increments and will go something like this.
185: pedicure
18O: New boots
175: This long necklace from Nordstrom its betsy johnson that I've been adoring for simply forever
17O: New clothes!!!! I haven't bought anything new in a while outside of what my school issues us because I want to be able to wear it when I hit my goal.

< 175 - Haircut / Full head Highlights (done)
< 170 - Shopping for make-up and beauty products (done)
< 165 - Mani/Pedi
< 160 - Facial
< 155 - Full body massage
< 150 - New purse and shoes

These are my rewards as of now

I also reward myself spontaneously with salon/spa treatments, new accessories/clothes, mini vacation/trips... when I feel like I deserve it.

You guys all have some awesome rewards, I love Hubby gives you a back rub! Thats a good one, it made me laugh, CUTE.

Maybe I should do little rewards, because mine are all bigger spaced and big things. Maybe I will do little things in between to keep me even more motivated. I have been back on plan for 3 weeks today, I am so proud of myself too, cuz I have stuck with it. I have kind of "Cheated" I guess you could say but I was smart about it. I went to my sister in laws and they ordered pizza and I only had 1.5 pieces. Then we had chinese about 1.5 week ago and we ordered one plate and my fiance and I split it. So I think I handled both situtions well.

I've always wanted to do this, but just never did...so here's what I just came up with:

189 - matching winter gloves and hat
179 - first victoria's secret bra/panties in 6 years!!
169 - new running shoes
159 - open hearts necklace

I luv rewarding myself or I just call it retail therapy.

140: New pair of J Brand cigarette jeans
135: Guitar Lessons (random I know) I cant wait for this one
130: Trip to an exotic place

You gals have some awesome rewards set for yourself. I absolutely love the victoria secret one. I can't wait till I can buy my Bra's from there again, and my boobs are just smaller. Right now I am a 40 DDD, Humageous lol. I hate them, I can't wait till they are smaller, like a B or C would be perfect. I would love to be able to get some sexy stuff from VS.

Mateosmamma: I like the tattoo one I didn't think of that. I have been wanting to finish mine but keep putting it off. Right now I have 9 stars from my shoulder to the middle of my back, I want to get the other side of my back so they match.

I plan on rewarding myself at 159, 155, 149, 145, 139, and 135, but I really only think of the closet mini goal and the ultimate goal:

159 - splurge on getting my eyebrows done, and a nice haircut and fun dye job (I've always been a $13 haircut at the Hair Cuttery kind of gal)

135 - buy a bikini, a miniskirt, and lingerie.

So you ladies had me thinking, and I'm usually not a "rewards-oriented" kind of person - I have no patience...BUT...

Something I've always wanted to do is have professional pin-up girl pictures taken. I just love the style, and I'll never be (nor do I want to be) stick thin, and the models in those pictures AREN'T stick thin - so, when I get to goal, that's what I'm going to do - have professional pin-up girl pictures taken. I know I'll wait until goal because they just won't look GOOD before then, so it will force me to wait and it will be something to work towards

I haven't been doing much as far as rewards. I have bought some clothing here and there as clothes have gotten baggier, but not TOOO much. Now that I'm closer to goal, I want to splurge on my hair though. I'm trying to get it to look nice and be healthier and less frizzy, so I'm going to actually have to put some initial money into it, but maybe I can justify it by reminding myself that I've lost almost 60 pounds. I wants to buy me a satin pillowcase and a good deep treatment conditioner and a very moisturizing conditioner. The satin pillowcase'll set me back but if I can survive for just 3 more weeks, I can go to Sally's when I go home for winter break and buy some products there. But we don't have any in Hawaii and the shipping is outrageous!
Nice to know you guys are giving yourself such nice rewards. n_n

hey stellarosa- what a cool idea! that's really neat.

i know it's bad to be vengeful, but my reward for my christmas goal will seeing my ex-boyfriend's jaw drop when i see him on the 28th... heh. when i want to stop running on the treadmill or i want to get out of a pose at yoga and i can't find any inner motivation to keep going, i think of how good it's going to feel to hear him tell me how good i look. bad, i know. i should probably find a more positive source of motivation but revenge is usually so sweet...

having reward was the only way for me to be motivated this spring. i need to start again though. ive been falling behind.

2 pounds lost =nails done or hair cut
4 lbs lost = 32 oz water bottle from student store at CSUS
6 lbs lost = brown boots from AVON magazine
8 lbs lost = Facial & tan
10 lbs lost = $200 shopping spree!!!! & a trip to Goodwill to get rid of my fat clothes


good luck ladies :P hopefully i will be visiting goodwill by Christmas of this year!
