These are the rewards I like the most:
- gift cards (instead of the actual clothes while I'm still losing)
- new workout clothes, something cute I can run around outside in or not be embarassed to wear if someone pops over while I'm working out
- trips to places I can't usually go to, can't get my husband to take me to or wouldn't usually go to because I was embarassed about my weight.
- stuff that will help me keep going like new workout videos, cds that will make me get up and dance, new running shoes or hiking boots, a bike or skates, etc.
My first motivation was losing 30 before a trip to New Orleans and some new clothes to wear while there and I got to 22lbs, but went anyway.. because 22lbs was a big deal since I haven't lost weight in years.
My next goal is 25 more and then I get to buy a whole new set of clothes, get a total beauty makeover and go on a bunch of new adventures (go kayaking, take a rock climbing class, go to seaworld, go to Florida, learn a martial art). So yeah, that's what motivates me... not only looking cute in some new clothes with a new hairtsyle, but getting to make a ton more exciting memories and having the satisfaction of knowing I was physically fit enough to do certain things I haven't been able to do in a while or never could before.
