Great thread! I think I'll take a trip to the beach, have some tropical drinks and enjoy the sunshine and sand in a new bikini.

I also have a points rewards credit card so I cashed in for some gift cards that I'll be using for some new clothes when I reach my goal weight. :)

I think that is a great idea! I like the adding money to the jar each time you do something healthy for yourself. But since I'm not working right now, I thought of using play money instead. Each "dollar" equals a point value. At the end of the week, I could reward myself with something special, like a manicure, aromatherapy bath  candlelight and music special alone time or lunch out. I could even look for "freebies" in the newspaper for events at museums and parks and reward myself some special time away. Of course, shopping for new smaller clothes are a definite reward for hard work!

I hope to read more posts!

I have bought new panties that were smaller and kind of sexy.  I have bought new jeans/clothes that fit and that were a size smaller.  I have gone out for ice cream with the family.  Went out for a nice dinner, my rewards are also ways of reaching goals.  I think of it like a job, the better i do, the more money i make and the more goals I reach, the better the rewards.  When I lost my 55 pounds 2 years ago, my reward was taking a romantic getaway with my husband. I bought lingerie he had never seen and i had never worn.  It was like being a stranger with him, it was VERY rewarding.  While we were out, he and i went shopping and bought me about 10 nwe outfits, it was so much fun to get to share such a huge thing with him.  He had been there for 4 months and watched me go through it and it was awesome!!!

 So what are some of the things you do to reward yourself?

    Some thing I like to do, and really motivates me, is to put a simple sticker in the calender on the days I exercise. It's like a small reward for taking care of myself.   Of course there is a much larger reward for living healthy. Today I am starting to add a dollar for every workout and each time I lose 10 pounds, I will spend it on myself, (new makeup, scarf, book, exercise DVD.....etc.)

  Do YOU have a reward planned for yourself? If so please share with us. 

  Have a great day!!!
