How do you "reward" your goals?
@Highfuntioningfatman I am getting visuals of you wearing a Nacho Libre wrestling mask and diving off the top turnbuckle onto the bed....
Laughing my big butt off.
Goal rewards are a dang important idea.
My first few weight loss rewards, other than the health benefits, were two vacations and then recently a nice shotgun that I've been drooling over for a while.....long while. The vacations were fun and I cut loose and didn't have a care in the world.....a celebration of much improved health over the prior few years.....felt great relief that things were gonna be alright.
Now......I've gotta get in much better shape and quickly so I can use the new scattergun to it's best capabilities. Chasing turkeys and paddling after ducks against a current is going to require me to be a bit more streamlined and stronger.
I've got another goal reward in mind that I'll entertain once I'm at my stretch goal weight.
LMAO! I'd be lying if I didn't say that you are darn close with the Nacho Libre visual!

Hahahahahahahah.
Nothing better than a wrastling mask to turn it up a notch in the ring...er....bedroom.
Live, love and make the most out of what your surgeon has done for you...........live your life without excuses and without regrets.
I opted for a new firearm for each milestone. That idea was shot down. Literally. I am working on new ideas. 
When I read your "reward structure", I immediately thought of the scene from High Anxiety with Nurse Diesel in her bedroom. I could not find the appropriate youtube video though. 
I've pretty much got the guns I need for the stuff I do........but there is a dang near endless list of wants.
The two on my short list now are a lever action Henry (.45/70 ) and a ~5.5 lb 20 ga for long turkey walks and other light birding.
Always something on the "want" list.

Years ago I was standing and talking with a friend and Mrs. LittleBillJr. My friend asked me, "How many guns do you own?" Mrs. LittleBillJr turned and said, "Yeah, how many!?!"
"More than I need. Less than I want." 
I've been putting my money into reloading lately, but there is always room in the safe for one more. Maybe when I hit 300 she'll come around.
As a fattie, I never ever ever bought boots. They didn't fit my calves because I was fat but I was athletic.
Now I am athletic, but I am not fat. I own 14 pair of boots. Good boots.
I don't consider them a reward, I consider them a reminder of where I am. If I gain, they won't fit. I won't gain because I love them SO much.
ISO ... New "clique" members. You must be kind, warm, welcoming, honest, intelligent, and have a sense of humor. The words "shamed" or "victim" can not be in your regular vocabulary. Sarcasm is welcome (and wanted!), but cruelty is not. You must not be a coddler or a shamer. All members are free to classify themselves as vets, newbies, grasshoppers or anything else they desire.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, puppies, sunsets and taking off my bra as I pull in the driveway. If you are like minded, you are in!
And remember, we are ALL worthy of love, humor, and dignity.
I started a new group here for my old BP friends and any new friends who have a sense of humor. Link to join:
I'm a cyclist, so I would buy myself new bike swag. Man oh man are there a lot of goodies out there you can buy! Not just cycling kit in smaller sizes, but gloves, tools, lights, socks, saddle bags, repair kits, bluetooth speakers, water bottles... And of course a snazzy new road bike when I was close to goal.
