That's what I have done in the past. Every 10 pound marker I allow myself to be a new outfit or pair of shoes. After 40 pounds I even let myself get the tattoo I had been wanting for years. 1 thing to remember though- the reward shouldn't be food. (I've read this in numerous magazines)

I do this too.
One of the best rewards is finding something that I like and then trying it on and it fits! I don't even have to buy it a lot of the time! Just knowing I CAN is wonderful! I have also rewarded myself in the following ways: Gotten a new hair cut or color (10 pounds total) A pedicure (20 pounds total) A day out visiting a tea shop where I got several new teas I would not normally buy (30 pounds) A massage (40 pounds total) When I hit 50 I am going to do something special as well but I have not decided what that will be yet. Any ideas??? :) Dawn

i totally agree, i think you have to do something special for yourself, i plan to buy myself a bunch of flowers or a health book. 22.5 pounds which is 10 Kg for me.

I think positive reinforcement always works to change behavior. I like your suggestion to start small because I think a small pleasure every 5 pounds would be more motivating for me that a bigger pleasure at 25 pounds.
