My first weightloss goal is getting under 200 pounds(about 29-30 pounds away)!!!  I am going horseback riding for my reward when I hit that goal. It should be getting warmer around that time, and it would be a beautiful time of the year to take a ride through the woods!  I'm really excited!  I used to ride all the time, but haven't riden in about 3 years.  So, it will be a big treat for me!

Since none of my jewelry fits anymore--I've been buying a new piece here or there.  For my onederland treat I bought a sterling silver and turquoise ring.   For my first 50 pounds gone I bought a sterling silver watch.

For getting below 200lbs I bought myself a Coach purse (my first and I swear I will be buried with it!!).  I am below surgeons goal/personal goal and close to my new goal set by my NUT. I hit the first two goals around holiday time so I didnt really reward myself with anything... I went to Florida for Thanksgiving and took my BF - that was kind of a reward because we hit all my favorite spots and got a hotel on the beach.  I have always wanted to go skydiving.. maybe once it gets warmer out I will do that. But for now I am hoping to reach my goal of 145 by my birthday next month - as a reward I am going to have an awesome birthday party with all my friends and take myself to Universal Studios in March to celebrate! Last time I went to Universal Studios I was too heavy to ride the roller coasters comfortably :(

The reward you have set up for yourself sounds great!

I've done a mani/pedicure. I might do a massage. Sometimes it's to get something that fits that I have to pay "full" price for. I bought a swim suit to work out in ... A new suit for a wedding, a dress for a wedding, portraits to help me see the "new me."

Hey Andrea,      Glad to see you posting. Hope you're doing well.      Horseback riding? OMG - one of my favorite passtimes many moons ago. My best friend Tina got a horse for her 13th birthday. We rode constantly. Then my first "real" job was working at a stable my friend's parents owned. Never knew how much I loved riding, till then. Seems like the perfect gift to give yourself.       I lived & breathed tennis. I would eventually love to take it up again. So perhaps a good racket or membership to a club?? Seems weird to think about things like that now when I'm still so "limited." Nice to have things like that to look forward to again, though. xoxo Mare

Hey, Mare!!!  Let's make a date!!!  When you get to one of your goals, we can go riding together.   That can be one of your rewards, too!!   There is a place in J'ville were you can rent horses by the hour!!   Sounds like fun!!!!!!!!!!!! Andrea

I bought a pair of black leather boots, not the wide calf ones, just gorgeous black leather boots. I was SO excited!

I think the lady in the boots department at Dillard's thought I was absolutely bonkers, but she just didn't understand the feeling when they zipped all the way up!

I think all of these rewards sound fabulous too!  I was thinking that when I get into the 200s  (is there a name for that??)  I will go to a spa for a facial, or mani/pedi.   I think horseback riding would be awesome!  You will make it before you know it!  and hopefully it will be warmer!!!   Connie
