Mini-goals and rewards

Do you have mini-goals? And how or do you reward yourself for achieving it? I haven't had mini-goals before, though I haven't needed to lose this much before either.

I've been thinking about mini-goals and here they are:

1. Get BMI to 'Overweight': 87kg - Achieved without realising it
2. Get to pre-Lilia weight: 79kg - Shopping for new clothes
3. 75kg - Facial
3. Get BMI to 'Normal': 70kg
4. Get to pre-Oliver weight: 69kg
5. Main goal: 65kg

I'm not sure about rewards though. I'm probably going to do some shopping, but then that will be more of a necessity rather than reward as I plan on not fitting my clothes anymore

What do you reward yourself with?

I would do something nice for yourself - manicure or facial maybe or a new book you have been wanting.

You are both doing so well I did it about 7 years ago, through WW. I started at 78.1 and finished at 65. I am currently 62. My first goal was 5kg, then 10% of starting bodyweight, then 10kg etc.

Non food/drink rewards are important.

Hmmm yes, non-food rewards are a good idea! It's been ages since I've done anything for myself like a facial. I think when I get to my next mini-goal, I'll do a little bit of shopping, then I might pop another mini-goal in there and make my reward a facial or something similar. That *should* be about the time I head back to work so should all work in nicely

smw85 what good ideas

am still thinking of mine & will come back & change it later

& yes no food rewards..that was a past problem

I had tones of rewards.

Magazines (Those things are expensive).
Pedicure
Massage
Facial
Shoes
Clothes
New watch

I still reward myself when Ive done something a little out of my "reach"

I love the idea of mini rewards, I'm going to sit down tonight and think about what I would like to do at each stage

my first mini goal reward was getting my eyebrows threaded (ouch lol) & that cause I am under 100kg again & it cost $5

mummydee we have the same goal wight

i am getting a reward in may - a trip to oz!!! yay going to hang out with emma for 3 nights! Dont know how much i will weigh by then but i think it might be 102 if i go on the premise that i lose 1kg per week.

Ooh Bizzy your reward sound awesome! Like Jazzy, I wouldn't be surprised if you in double digits by then, you are doing so well!

SMW85 - Far from amazing, lol No real secret, I guess I made up my mind that I was going to do it this time! To start I joined in the 'Weightloss girls thread' and they have been great for support and encouragement and the occasionally kick in the backside I started using my old Turbo Jam DVDs (I love this workout, it's fun!). Then tried to eat better food and watch how much I was eating.

I got put on to www.myfitnesspal.com (thanks to the weightloss girls) which is a free website where you can track your food and exercise and can even have 'friends' (like FB) to support you. On this site I've also learned a bit about nutrition and fitness (though I'm still working on putting it into practise). And for the past 2 weeks I've been using Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred as well.
