How do you reward yourself for reaching weightloss goals?

Good question!  I don't think I've done any reward yet... gotta start thinking about that.  I spoil myself anyway... LOL  I don't wait till I should get a reward, I just take 'em when the urge strikes!  LOL I don't care for manicure... hands in water too much.  And I get pedis anyway... religiously... couldn't live w/out them, so that wouldn't be a "treat" for me.

I should just start putting $5/day in a jar like I did first couple of years when I quit smoking. Did you realize that $5 x 365 = a nice $1825!  THAT is nice vacation (or "reward") money each year!  I put it in a skinny neck tequila bottle so I couldn't snitch from it... but had to wait to end of year to break it open!

If you go locally let me know and I will go with you. I have had horses since I was little and used to show them all the time. I had to sell all three of them when we bought our house last year and I miss it

Goal presents so far LOL I go get a massage and a pedicure from the spa, going to Disneyland California and Knotts Berry farm next month and when I get to goal I am going to Ireland which is my favorite travel destination to go Fox Hunting by horseback with the Galway Blazers. I always have had my own horse and used to ride and compete in shows every weekend and had to sell them when we bought our new house. I still have all my riding gear and tack because I WILL have another one someday

Hi, Darcie!!  All of your rewards sound wonderful.  I also had a horse and had to sell him when I moved to NC back in 2000.  I am hoping to go to a vacation ranch when I hit my final goal.  It is located in western NC and includes all the riding you can handle.   I've already checked it out online and it sounds really neat!  And yes.......I will own a horse again someday,too:)!!!!  I will definitely let you know when I go riding!!!  That would be GREAT!!!!  Equine Country!!! Andrea

Let me know about that vacation ranch, maybe we can do a getaway LOL

Darcie

That would be awesome!!  I'll try and find the website and send it to you! Andrea

For my first 50 I bought myself a pair of Rainbows and kept them in my closet until I hit that mark.  :D  For my 125, I bought Sperrys.  But I am llike Wendy.. I spoil myself anyway.  And hey.. any pound here and there is call for a GOODWILL RUN!!!

My first vacation after WLS was to climb to the top of the hatteras lighthouse.  My reward for making it to the top was a comfort bike. This is a bike with a big cushy seat and a good set of shocks. When I first got the bike  I couldn't ride up a hill; now I can ride 10 miles hills and all. This last year at the beach I rode my bike 100 miles in 6 days with my longest ride being 20 miles. I'm seriously considering learning to hang glide off the sand dunes this Septmeber. Belinda

Is it just me, or does there seem to be a LOT of horse people in here?

I'm NOT one... B.A.D. horse experience, 2 of them... and I grew up owing about 40 ponies (my daddy raised them for fun) and riding (English) during high school.  NO desire to ever get on one again! I live in the middle of LOTS of horse people and they ride all around me... there are 3 standing at my back fence right now that are owned by the fellow who lives down behind me... I look at 'em, feed 'em apples and carrots... and WATCH everybody around here ride.  LOL

Andrea- What a great thread! Thanks for posting it! I have done mini treats along the way- 50 lb mark, as I entered onederland, etc.... I treated myself ( and WORE!) a bikini for the first time in almost 30 years and I also bought myself some sexy long black leather boots. When I hit my final goal and keep off for couple months, I plan to buy myself a Tag Heuer watch- I have it bookmarked on my Laptop and look at it often for continued motivation. My tummy tuck surgery will be my ultimate reward for this journey! Keep up your good work! The horseback riding sounds like fun! Sheila
