I'm afraid all I can afford for that is a good turtleneck!

Oh, and a clothing exchange is not allowed by 3FC, but I've done the PM thing to send/recieve some clothes.

I love all the ideas, I have recently and I mean very recently hit the goal of being overweight instead of obese, and it doesn't matter if it is only by a thread that I made it. It feels awsome. I think a manicure is due, and I think I will save the Tan for my next goal for right after Easter when I hope to be in the lower 160's. I really love IP and all the postive side affects that come with being apart of the loser club.

Keep up the good work and rember you are worth it.

Reposting from another thread, to help wake this one back up

Rewards

Whenever I've tried to lose weight in the past, I've made a list of things that I want, and I attached mini-goals to those things. On that list, last time around, I had a teapot, some earrings, a manicure. I haven't made a list for this time, but if I do, I think I'm going to put "really nice makeup" on it, somewhere at least 50 pounds down. (I do not "girl" well. I've never gotten great with makeup. And if you buy nice enough makeup, someone will teach you how to put it on!) There's some nice-smelling lotion I want, which I'd probably put on there. I have a bracelet that I got myself at a mini-goal, last time I lost weight, and I haven't wanted to wear it, after gaining a bunch back. I think I'll give myself the right to wear it again as one of my mini-goals, this time, which might sound stupid, but it will be pretty psychologically powerful for me. And I guess that's the point: pick meaningful things, if you can. You'll notice a lot of mine appeal to my sense of vanity. If you can tie your rewards to your motivation for losing weight, that makes them more powerful. (Vanity isn't my only motivation, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't one of them. Ease of travel is another one, so when I make a list, a really awesome vacation is usually my Big Goal.)

Pick-me-ups (or very small rewards)

When I'm feeling down, or snacky, or I just need some kind of pick-me-up...

I start by making myself a cup of tea, usually.

If I had a nice bathtub, I would take a bath. (I don't. It's a bummer.)

If the hubs is around, I might cajole him into going for a walk with me, ideally somewhere with birds to look at.

I play video games where I can blow things up.

Thanks for trying to resurrect this--it's a topic I've been thinking about as well.

Thanks to all the vitamins, my nails are growing in quite nicely, and since I'm always reading these threads, I don't have time to ruin them by biting them (LOL!), so I am hoping to make manicures one of my rewards for weight loss.

I have to admit, with previous attempts to lose weight, I have rewarded myself with food or increased eating, but even though it is very early in my current journey, I have no desire to do so. This plan has been so different from any other I've ever tried...and I'm so motivated by that!

It's kind of embarrassing to admit, but my "reward" for reaching my goal was to buy a too expensive designer purse. I rationalized to my husband that it was a combined Valentine's and birthday gift from him, but it was really an atta-girl from me to me. I also have a gift certificate from my son for a massage. The thought of having a stranger kneading at all my fat was not at all appealing, so I never used it. I'm going to finally use it!

For my first 20lb. loss I'm going to get a decent pair of jeans that FIT! I've been fooling myself too long that my current pair make me look thinner because they are tight. And I'm tired of taking then out of the dryer damp and wearing them so they stretch a little, LOL!

I think I'll work on a list today of special treats for milestones. I've always used food or wine for rewards and it's time to find healthier preasents.

You should definitely not be embarrassed by that! That's a great reward! (And it makes you happy to carry it, I bet! It's a reminder of an accomplishment! I also bet it makes your husband happy when you carry it, because he's proud of getting you a gift you like so much. Everyone wins!)

I want to do something special for my half way mark that is just around the corner...but I am having trouble thinking of something so I think I will wait another 5-10 lbs and buy some new clothes to hold me over for a bit
