Celebrating goal.

I am kind of almost at goal with just over 30lbs to go. Starting out I had over 170lbs so the finish line feels close. 

How Did you celebrate reaching goal? Or how do you plan on celebrating reaching goal? 

Congrats keep up the great work 

Congrats on being so close! 

I'd planned to celebrate by buying myself a certain brand of purse that I'd wanted for a few years now, but jumped the gun and bought it a few months before I reached goal. ( It was 70% off...I couldn't resist. I knew I'd never find another brand new one at that price again. ) 

Of course, I also "celebrate" Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, etc. by buying purses. 

I still haven't bought myself an official "at goal" gift...hmmm. 

I plan to buy a new car, since before the surgery I didn't fit in most cars.

Congratulations on being so close to goal.  I haven't even met with the surgeon yet (still having difficulty getting a referral from my PCP)  so I haven't thought much about celebrating meeting goals for weight loss.  However when I finished my MS degree I gave myself a gift of the Harry Potter book set.  It's one of the few set of books that I will read from beginning to end over and over.  I also promised myself that I wouldn't read anything academic for a full year.  I made it pretty close to a year on that one.  I started reading academic sources when I started researching WLS in January, so 11 months of not reading anything academic was close enough for me.  Anyway, good luck on reaching goal.  Let us know what you decide to do.

I bought myself a ridiculously expensive (for me!) long soft leather coat in a US size 8.  Keeps me on track as it is fitted and so just a few pounds makes it too tight!! 

While I was losing, I attended Weigh****chers ... And there, when you get to your goal weight, you get a little "key" charm.

When you get to Lifetime, you start to attend meetings for free .....so, I bought myself a Pandora bracelet with the first charm being a heart with a "keyhole" in it.

Then, each month that I maintained my weight, I bought a new charm.  Instead if paying for WW, I went shopping for charms.  I did that for about a year ... And now that bracelet is a permanent reminder of my success.

Good ideas, thanks! I was thinking of maybe a Tiffany necklace, something a bit delicate :)

A cute woollen coat sounds nice too, although where I live it doesn't really get cold enough for a woollen coat.

Clothes maybe, but then if I lose more weight or put some back on that could be a waste of money. Maybe I will just cross everything off my wants list in one go, and get a fitbit, some new running shoes, a dexa scan, new fitness clothes, some nice clothes, some pretty bras.... BUY ALL THE THINGS!

When I reached my goal my husband carried me over our threshold, which he certainly couldn't do on our wedding day.  I didn't buy anything memorable but I did go to one of the best hairstylists in the city and spent a small fortune on a makeover.
