When I reach my ultimate goal, I plan on getting a whole new wardrobe! I don't have any certain rewards for my mini-goals, I just figure whatever I want at the time, that is a reasonable price, I will treat myself to.

My reward is being able to buy clothes that fit! I'm going to buy myself all new outfits :)

I never thought of doing rewards for certian goal points though, that's an interesting thought! I should reward myself with a hair cut and dye when I hit 170.

50 pounds: I'm getting an iPad!
No Longer Obese: A swimsuit to start doing swimming at the gym
75 pounds: haven't decided yet
Goal: My good friend and I are going to go on a cruise together. We're both working towards 100 pound losses. She started before me, so she's already 57 pounds down, but once we're both at goal, we're going on a weeklong cruise, woo hoo!

1 Year Maintenance: Something big. Maybe a trip to do something I've always wanted to do.

I just had my hair dyed cos I got to 10kg which was my 2nd mini goal. The next one is 5kg (11lbs) away which will be a total of 15kg and I'm going to get a manicure. I think these little rewards are what keeps me going.

besides new clothes when I get to goal I plan on treating myself to a vera bradley bag. I've wanted one for a few years now and just can't bring myself to spend that much on ONE bag. After losing 50lbs I figured I've earned it

mjhart23 05-13-2010 09:45 PM

After 6 months of maintaining I think I'm going to buy one of those Bodybugg things.

I love rewards! I have a few set up :)

199- Pedicure w/ french tips
185- Haircut and dyed (haven't had a haircut in a year!!)
175- Probably have to get at least a few outfits for work and casual. That will be ~90 pounds gone!
165- New bike!
150- Not sure yet
135- New gadget
130- GOAL! New wardrobe (funded partially by my mom as a gift). So excited for this one. Never had any kind of fashionable clothes, or clothes to be proud of. I'm probably going to blow so much $$!!

After I reach my goal, I have a ton of adventures planned for my new body: learning to kayak, go on beach trips more often, travel to new cities and show off my clothes/see the sites, just be a lot more carefree!

I'm pretty stoked about this journey. I've been trying at it since 2007. I'm finally in the mindset of being excited and curious to experience the journey each day, instead of "this journey is limiting me today, I can't live the way I want to". Ironically, being so overweight I was always tired and hiding from people. How the heck is that living?

Lol...what is japanese straightening???

My goals:
199- Pedicure & highlights- done
189 (20 pounds off)- By new jeans- done
179- french tips manicure
169- hot black dress
159- Diagonal Forward haircut- short and sassy but not cute with chubby cheeks
149- New jeans and some other cute clothes
139- Scheduling plastic surgery! Boobs, and a tummy tuck. I have three kids, I am not having more, and I have sooo earned it at this point. YAY!

My ultimate goal reward since I can remember has been a tattoo on my back, probably of a phoenix.. but I would not go ahead with this unless I maintained for quite a while, and I mean a long while. Something else I would like to do at a mini goal of around 50lbs is to get some piece of nice jewelry. I very rarely get to wear 'the real deal' because my mom doesn't really wear jewelry (and thus doesn't have much at all that i could borrow or whatever) and I can't afford anything but the 'cheap' stuff right now.

Well, once I reach goal I intend to buy a whole new wardrobe. Until then I'm saving and not buying any new clothes except for the jeans in smaller sizes and cheap Walmart shirts, just to get by. I cannot justify spending so much money on clothes as a full-time student with a part-time job when I know I'll only be wearing them for a little while. So at 120 lbs a nice new wardrobe and at least one pair of heels. Not wedges, not platforms... ACTUAL heels. And start practicing walking in them. And a stylish new haircut.

Before that, when I reach 199, I'll buy a pair of nice pretty shoes. And at 150, which would be a hundred pounds lost, a mini netbook!

milliondollarbbw 05-14-2010 01:41 AM

I will treat myself to an absolutely gorgeous, and probably over priced pair of heels and skinny jeans, and try and actually look sexy for a change....take myself out to a restaurant and have a yummy salad.

duckyyellowfeet 05-14-2010 01:53 AM

I am absolutely going to buy as many clothes as I can once I reach goal. However, I already know I'm going to be a) still in school and b) still not working, so how much that reward will total will have to depend on if I can convince my mom to chip in ;)

I also might, maybe, we'll see, get engaged. I just have this thing about not wanting to be an overweight bride...

Mikan 05-14-2010 04:12 AM

Bathing suits and shorts :P

stargzr 05-14-2010 10:26 AM

I had some along my journey so far... but I never really stuck to buying what I'd promised myself, lol. I've been having trouble with this last stretch so I thought out mini-rewards... (I also have a stipulation that I either have to continue going down or hold at the weight for 1 week before I actually get the reward)

155 -new undies of my choice, 6 pairs - done
153 -pedicure for the summer
151 -trip to a water park
get below 149 -use my Kohl's gift card for new clothes

I'm also saving other money to be used at Kohl's or other places when I reach goal. I already have a pair of shorts and a pair of jeans for when I reach goal. :)

Alicia87 05-14-2010 10:42 AM

I love hearing everyone's ideas...I'm still trying to decide how to treat myself for most of my mini goals, although for my first one (168) I'm going to buy the DDR game for wii that I've been wanting for a while...fun treat plus it's something that will keep me moving!

And for ultimate goal...definitely a new wardrobe!!
