What will you give yourself when you reach GW?
 
Anyone have a plan for when they reach GW?
My husband and I are on SB for only 2 weeks now but I want to have something fun to work towards! Every 20-30 pounds (or sooner if we need it) we are going to treat ourselves to a new outfit or something. But I want a BIG present at the end! My plan is to go back to Vegas when we are at GW and feeling sexy again! I love that town and can't wait to get back into my sexy dress and go out and paint the town! :lol:
The other goal is once I am at GW for a little while DH and I are going to start trying to get pregnant for the first time! yay!!:)
Anyone else have a big present lined up as a goal?

I was just discussing this today with my friend Sadi. I have NO idea what I'm going to do! Thought about a full-body massage, but that doesn't seem like a REAL reward since I've had them in the past, just for the :devil: of it. My 2 yr anniversary with my fiance is next month, however, and I told him I'd like a little something(s) from Victoria's Secret.....that'll make me feel pretty good. But for the GW? I have NO clue. Someone toss out an idea! I'd say a trip to Key West (my FAVORITE place on earth) but I have limited vacation time that starts accumulating in October, and I've got a honeymoon in April and a trip to (duh) Key West in September. What's a girl to do? I want something to really look FORWARD to!

This is a really good question. I don't think I am going to do anything totally big -- maybe go to the beach or something. But the best gift will be a new wardrobe. I can't even tell you how much I've spent thus far going from a size 24 to a 16!!! Now it'll be from a 16 to a 12 [10 maybe???]

A really expensive french manicure at my favourite beauty salon :D And a pair of jeans I want! I've got just under a stone to loose, though!

I'm getting a really nice new wardrobe. With good classic clothes, not the Walmart and outlet mall-end of season, get rid of these clothes $1-4 specials (Hey, remember I'm frugal!).

I've been rewarding myself all along, instead of eating. Every 5 pounds I got something I had been wanting but put it off, then recently it's been every 10 pounds. I've bought myself a blender, a chair messager (heaven-it even has shiatzu massage) and new clothes.

Each week I buy a special treat like a new tea or sb approved food that might be a touch expensive like the Wasa crackers. Those are good, but close to $4 a pack.

This is a tough one
 
I've though about this thread for awhile.

I guess my treat for reaching goal weight is to STAY THERE!!!!!

I do not want to gain a thing. I'll continue to live this way for life.

But, I do want to buy clothes......a lot of clothes.......maybe my husband will have to move out of the bedroom because I'm going to have so many clothes!!!! :D

The goal is so close I can almost taste it, but the scales won't budge. That's OK, I'm doing what needs to be done.

Good thread!

I agree that a new wardrobe is what I'm looking forward to most probably. I mean I want to go to LV really bad but if I had to decide between a plane ticket or to use that money for clothes.....the mall it is!!
I can't wait to shop in the normal stores again not the "hey, you're fat but you can be hip still....really.....spend $50 for a fat girl tank top.......sure, you're hip" stores. Or like you said, the Wal-mart type stores.
Can you guys imagine going into ANY store in the mall and fitting into something? wow!!!
I told my husband he should want to keep me fat because I'm spending a lot less of our money this way!! hahaha!!! :lol:

hmm...what would I give myself....I think a trip to some place tropical...or just a trip to anywere...and new clothes...it will be nice to just go into any store and be able to wear stuff

The biggest gift we are going to give ourselves when I reach goal is a baby! :o :bb:

And the clothes will be a big gift too. :D

Hmmm...I have not really thought that far ahead. Trying not to get ahead of myself. I know at 180 I am cashing in on my spa certificate and getting a hot stone. I am hoping to be 170 for a wedding in October, so probably a spa event will happen then also.

I know I *should* weigh less than 170. WW says my upper limit for my height (5'6") is 155. But I seriously do not think I have weighed less than 170 in my adult life so it just seems so odd to me to even think about it.

When I get to 170 I will see then. Right now my plan would be to keep losing until we get PG again. Hopefully not long after the 1st of the year.

Guess I need to set a true goal weight before I can reward myself.
