Hi Pam,

I LOVE, LOVE this list.  It is awesome.  There are great ideas for each stage.  I've already printed it out and have it hanging on my refrigerator.  Thank you SO VERY MUCH for sharing it with us.

Jewelry is my main reward as well!  My very first post-surgery trip out of the house was to the jewelry store to buy a Pandora bracelet.  I've worn it every day for the past 13.5 months and I add beads and charms to it as I achieve goals.  Each glass bead represents 25 pounds lost.  I got a new charm when I finished my half-marathon (a tennis shoe).  I have the Queen Bee which represents the strength and power of a woman.  I bought a special charm for my 1 year anniversary and wear it on a necklace instead of the bracelet and plan to add similar charms for each year.  

I also reward myself for the small things too.  Candlit bubble baths, a pedicure, new books or CDs, a weekend getaway .... I love rewarding myself when I've worked hard to hit a goal!

Here's a picture of my bracelet.
