So Jelly... what did you end up choosing on your day off?
Well I ended up getting a pedi! but just a couple days later I am not suffing from a pretty NASTY ingrown toenail.. I will spare you all the details!)
My mom also took me shopping to get a new purse and wallet for losing 30lbs... now this morning I told her that I had lost 50 now... I dont think she believed me so I had to send her a pic of the scale this morning! It even had my pretty toes in it!
As a reward for reaching goal (almost), I just bought a discount (half off) for a full three hour keratin treatment for my hair. The timing was perfect and I've been interested in trying one for months.
Of course, it goes without saying that I am in the market for new pants (I need to buy tighter pants so that I don't have room to regain!).
I had to reread this 3x because I misunderstood it. I thought you said your husband bought you an earring when you replaced your son, when you meant you are replacing an earring that was given to you after you had your son.
haha
Haha, I did too. I didnt know we could replace our children. Maybe they make a whineless model
I was there this past weekend!! I will be back there the weekend of the 24th!! I am originally from Kaplan! I went shopping at Drug Emporium, World Market and Sweet pickins....lol
lol- i'm just readiing this now. My parents are from Gueydan. Small world! next time you're in town we should have coffee or something.

No way????....I was there last week from Wednesday to Sunday for my nephews wedding. I'll let ya know next time, probably toward the middle to end of October I'll be going back home again
Well I was offered to go to the Seahawks game this afternoon with a girlfriend of mine... I'm pretty stoked!! I figured it was worth the money as a reward to myself!! Unfortunately ill have to smell all of the garlic fries!! But its ok.... I know I'm looking HOT.
I would love to go back to Las Vegas when I reach goal. My hubby and some friends went last January and it was a little(no alot) heartbreaking to not be able to zip line over Freemont Street because I was too heavy. Shopping with the girls would be way more fun the 2nd time around too.
This is another one I thought might be interesting to some of the newbies it was way down in the threads but gives you a few suggestion how some of us reward ourselves with our losses
Hi, I am a restarter, but I already have my rewards set up for each time I loss 10lbs.
First 10lbs: get my nails done.
Second 10lbs: buy some nice clothes in my new size.
Third 10lbs: get a complete "hair makeover"
* I've been very depressed ever since I started gaining weight again, and after not being sucessfull at my other retries, I figured out that seting up rewards would help me continue and reach my goals, they give me motivation to keep going!
So I told my mother that for my birthday... not until January. That I want her and I to get our pictures done professionally... We haven't had out pictures taken together since I was about 6 or 7ish...
I bought a fashion magazine as well to look up brand names and see what's hot Then went to the thift stores and looked for some brand name clothes @ cheap prices I even got a pair of Gasoline jeans which I can fit in now. Yahoooo
I know name brands and labels don't mean anything. I have just been fat for so long and have no fashion sense excpet for sweat pants and sweat tops, beer shirts and elastic band waisted pants. Now I can get into a pair of pants with zippers

HI, Junetwin it feels amazing when you are able to fit into the clothes you really like, and when you realize that buying brand names clothes is worth it on your new body, you begin to dress according with what you look and feel now. Good luck to you.
Finished Rewards:
First 10 pounds lost: Haircut and perm
Next 5 pounds lost: new jeans from NY&Co. (ok so this was both a reward and a definite need)
Upcoming Goals:
5 pounds (total 20): A pair of red heels
5 pounds (total 25, at goal): Spa day! And of course a shopping spree for new clothes
I think the hardest part of coming up with rewards was finding things that weren't food! I lost five pounds, I'd really like some ice cream! New jeans had to do :-P
