Gold star for a job well done? or new shoes?

I know some wont like this idea because I might regain weight but when reach my ideal weight I want a tattoo! I have always wanted one but always felt to fat to get one !

I have always wanted a tattoo and even had my nephew (he is a tattoo artist) designed one for me. I know I won't regret it when I am old because I am already there. (A very young 55)

You should definitely reward yourself.  I started a Pandora bracelet before surgery. I purchased a glass bead and one silver bead called "journey" during my pre-op phase.  I now purchase a new glass bead for every 25 pounds I have lost.  I have my original glass bead I got, then my 25 and my 50 pound glass beads on it. I'm hoping to get my 75 pound bead by the end of next week - 5 pounds away. :)  It gives me something to look forward to for hitting my milestones and every time I look at the bracelet I'm reminded of how hard I'm working and that it does add up.

Good luck!

I LOVE that!!  Not that I want to start over, but if I did that is what I would do!

For 100 lbs lost I gave myself a ruby and diamond bracelet. I haven't decided 150 or 200 lb loss gifts yet.  My friends and family give me "happy's" about every 10 lbs.  Its been awesome!!

I love all of these ideas!

Breaking 240 after long, grinding stall--fake nails in copper and cobalt.

Breaking 220, if it ever happens--get my scraggly, raggedy-azz hair cut. If it ever grows back, which I doubt, I'm getting it colored purple again.

Onederland...my Promised Land--fly to see my grandkids in Chicago, with no seatbelt extender.

Hey, thanks for the reward reminders and ideas! 

Such good ideas!  Congrats on the weight loss.  I am just beginning my journey with ;ap band to RNY on 1/4/13 and 2013 is my year to get healthy.

I will have to think about what I can give myself to remind me what I have accomplished and where I never want to be again!  The Pandora idea is wonderful but I do not wear bracelets and have a ton of jewelry.  I am 60, so I am at the stage of giving things away!

Perhaps I will make a large size bead chain for the wall by my computer, using different beads for special milestones.  It would be something I would see every day and be a reminder to keep on track as I am on my journey and as a piece of art when I am done.

Blessings!

Awesome news about the feet. I'm a size 12 in shoes (and rings too). Can't wait to no longer have plus size feet.

I LOVE the bracelet idea. Will start googling now.

My dream is to do the Disney Princess Half-Marathon at Disney World. It's in February/March every year, so thats where I am hoping to celebrate my 1 year surgeversary in 2014.

I plan to do the same thing so I'll see you there in 2014!
