Milestone Rewards
 
I need some more ideas for my milestone rewards. For the first 20 lbs, i bought a smart phone, I did private tennis lessons for both 30 & 40 lbs rewards. I am thinking about a new scale (like my coach) for when my BMI goes below 35 (getting closer). I am thinking about a massage for 50 lbs... But what else?

I already do mani/pedis fairly regularly. I don't want food rewards. I got a gym bag as a reward on a diet 2 years ago and a new tennis bag for my birthday (that was going to be my 30 lb reward). I am going to a local charity gala in December, i could consider that for whatever lb i am near at that date?

What does everybody else do?

Just because I have a passion for purses - particularly Coach and Michael Kors - I have to throw that out as an option. How about a gorgeous new Fall/Winter designer bag? :-)

I've bought myself a new leather coat.........the old one was getting a bit baggy, figured it would be a good 30 pound reward ;)

I love the new outfit rewards. That is what I have done along with my new COACH purse when I hit my 50 pound loss. I am 1 pound away from 60 so I bought a new sweater dress, leggings and boots. Outfits can be very fun rewards. Some people do charm bracelets.

Each time I drop a size I get several new outfits. I got a Miche Bag at 25 pounds. When I get below 200 I get a pink ribbon tattoo. (Should be in the next couple of weeks!) When I get to my size goal I'll shop for a motorcycle suit, along with more new clothes.

I get a new charm for my pandora bracelet for every 20lbs

cute new outfits for me, because they really showcase my weight loss accomplishments and keep me motivated to never, ever go back to that dark place :D

I've never given myself a reward and I'm down 25 pounds! What a great idea! Pandora charm is good, but new clothes? I plan on losing so much more, that I'm hoping they won't fit in a month! Iphone 5....oooo, that's a good one. Maybe when I reach goal weight...now you've got me thinking!!!

austintacious 10-21-2012 01:57 PM

thanks for the new ideas. I am thinking a revised wardrobe will be needed at goal but like the handbag and jewelry ideas until i get there. I also love the idea about the charm bracelet -something to wear when you are at goal to remind you of how far you have come and to never go back.
Keep up the rewards everyone!

I can't wait to fit into a pair of skinny jeans and those gorgeous flat heeled knee high boots that you see models walking around in. I have always had large calves and am hoping that soon, maybe another twenty pounds, I can fit into a pair of those jeans and boots.... and when I can, the pair I buy will be FABULOUS.. I will treat myself to a beautiful pair of designer all leather boots.. The kind I normally never even look at..... I am on week two and down 18 lbs. Maybe twenty more !?

I get myself an Alex & Ani bracelet for every 10lbs - I can just look at my wrist to see how far I've come! When I hit my goal I'm going for a day at the spa - hair, nails, skin, the works!

Me too, Scorbett AND a massage! If I start saving my pennies now, I might include a shopping spree for new outfits, too. 110 lbs will be WORTH celebrating! I'll have to take a day off for that (wait. I'll probably be on summer break...)

I got a facial for hitting 30. Massage in the works when I get to 45.
Then the half-way point...hmmm...need to decide that when I get closer...that'll be 55. After that, I'll probably celebrate every 10 lbs.

I really love to reward myself with stuff that supports my weight loss journey- things that help me focus on taking care of my body. Massages, pedicures, new appliances like Soda Stream or Ninja Blender, iPod and iTunes for light exercise are things that help me stick with the program. My major reward will be a nice long weekend spa trip with DH!
