I was wondering if anyone gives themselves little gifts when they are losing weight? I need some advice, I would like something worthy of losing 100 pounds. So far I have lost 80 pounds and I have been trying to reward myself with non food related gifts. So any suggestions would be appreciated.

I purchase items centered around continual progress in a successful WLS lifestyle. I measure them by pizzas NOT eaten. For example, a $10 tube of lipstick in a jazzy new color equals one pizza not eaten. An $80 Nutribullet to make protein smoothies is eight pizzas not eaten. You've lost 80 pounds (!) so maybe a Nutribullet would be appropriate for you, too? Go Cajunlady1958!

Edited to calculate: Grim's hooker equals 15 pizzas--I'd take the pizzas this time.

Haha! I love this - how cool! I could (when I finally have my surgery - joys of univesal health care) measure it in fast food meals- that's my poison more so than pizza. That's a Big Mac Combo, that's 2 chinese food meals... :) Great idea.

RNY Jan 12, 2017 Lost 137 lbs but regained 60.

77 lbs lost and counting!

Losing the regain! I got this!

Purses. All my rewards were purses, or wallets, or anything purse related. ( wristlets, bag charms, more wallets..rinse and repeat ) I ended up having a transfer addiction to shopping ( mostly for purses ). I think I "rewarded" myself almost every 10 lbs lost.

Since I'm a recovering shopaholic, I'd recommend rewarding yourself with something fun for you that wouldn't have been possible 100 lbs ago. ( Parking way far out in the parking lot of a shopping mall ? Kidding! )

So many things! A mani/pedi- new hair do, shopping trip, a girls weekend - plus all the other great ideas on here like fitbit or a new bike. It really depends on what you love.
