Sort of. We are returning to Denmark in a few years and I want to be a normal weight (with a full year of maintenance under my belt) before we go. This is a huge incentive for me, but it will happen whether or not I lose weight.

I do have a couple of mini goals, one to lose ten more pounds before I leave for Hawaii on July 28th, and another that I am under 200 by my birthday in November. My reward for the Hawaii trip is a Hawaiian tattoo, and for getting under 200 (whether I make the date or not) is possibly a new wedding ring, since ours cannot be reduced in size.

I have a pandora bracelet. I get a new charm and spacer for every 5 pounds lost. It's a lot of fun to pick charms and such. I get the cheaper charms no more than 35 each for the charm. At 25 pound marks I reward myself with a "more expensive" charm. It's a visual reminder every-time I look at my wrist :) As it gets heavier I know I'm getting lighter :)

As I lose a jean size, I am taking all of my old size pants into a second hand shop and then buying myself some more of the new size.

Every ten pounds I am going to buy something nice for my dog. I love my dog... and I like to spoil her (but she's not spoiled... which is why it's so funny). My first buy was a furminator... but it wasn't a weight loss thing... it was because my dog NEEDS her undercoat to get shedded out. Especially since we live in Texas. ;) But I have five more pounds... and then I'm going to get her a doggy seatbelt so that I can go places with her without worrying about her climbing all over me. :p Then I'm going to get her one of those doggy backpacks so that when we go for runs/hikes I can put my water bottles and such on her... and not on me. ;) :D


But my final weight loss reward (hoping to get to my full goal by my graduation in late May... at the latest) is an entire new wardrobe ($1000 max to be spent). Everything I've always wanted... :)

I havent' set any rewards.... I just want to know that whenever I fly I can fit into the seat belt with room to spare :)

I made a lists of things that I would really like to have but felt guilty spending the money on as mini rewards for every 5 pounds. Then obviously completely new wordrobe after I reach my goal weight. I also have a trip planned next year to Asia, it isn't really a reward, the reward will be me going there skinny.

I ride on a motorcycle with my hubby and since he looks great in leather chaps (size 32" waist) I have always wanted a pair and would not buy them because of all the extra weight I knew it would look terrible. My goal is to buy and wear and look good with some leather chaps on the bike. Yep... it may be shallow, but that is my goal. I am 5 months in on my new healthy eating lifestyle and halfway there. I WILL make it.

I haven't had any specific rewards up to this point. I have been taking more pride in myself and have bought new makeup and some better fitting clothes. Some days, I have actually felt "pretty". That's something I would like to get used to :)

As I have been slowly creeping closer to my goal, I have started thinking about a final reward. We won't have much money to spend since I will be starting college in September (yay me LOL) I am thinking of either a small tasteful tattoo that symbolizes my family, in a hidden place ;) or a family ring with my children's names engraved on it. I can actually buy a ring in a regular size without having to spend a fortune to have a piece put in it now! Not really sure?

I actually book in to a nite at a hotel every 10 kilos (about 22 pounds i lose) I go by myself and its the most relaxing time. I am going again tomorrow nite...planning to take my pjs and book and nothing else!

I'm going to get myself a new camera when I hit onederland. Or maybe a handlebar bag. I can't decide, but I really want both.
