Question

I decided to try a reward chart to help with my weight loss journey. This may sound over the top but i do a reward for every pound. That's right every pound because I've earned it. Some are little rewards and others are bigger. new shoes, a shirt, a new lunch bag, new sunglasses, hair accessories etc. Does anyone else do this and what are some unique ideas to use for rewards?  

Answer 1

LOVE this idea, I'm gonna do it too

Answer 2

I do this! When I got under 200, I bought myself a Coach purse and when I reached 185, I got a wallet to match!  

Answer 3

I have gone from a 3X to a 2X to a 1X to XL. My reward is clothing and Drunk Elephant Makeup

Answer 4

30 lbs cole haan sandals

Answer 5

Fantastic Idea  

Answer 6

I do this for every 5 lbs.  

Answer 7

New panties!  They don’t have to be pricey, and you’ll feel great!  

Answer 8

I give myself $1 for everyday I am on program and if I stay on all week I give myself $10 for the week instead of $7 for the week.  

Answer 9

I have given myself rewards for every 5 lbs. And it makes it easier to lose when my goals are 5 lb. increments. Instead of looking at the long-term goal, I just focus on a little one. I reward myself with a new piece of clothing or a book or an activity I enjoy.  

Answer 10

I have a paper clip chain for each pound I lose. If I gain a pound I have to take a paper clip off. I love watching it get longer. My family likes watching it too.

I go up and down so much, I'd have to be putting my rewards in a closet, and then have to earn them back, over time.

Answer 18

No weight loss is my reward

Answer 19

I don’t do it for the number. I have a list of rewards I want and I choose one only if I followed the plan 100%

Answer 20

How about a manicure or pedicure!  

Answer 21

For every pound I lose I buy a 1 pound bag of rice. When I reach my goal all those bags will be taken to my local food pantry.

@jedthus88518 :That's a great idea. ☺. I've also pledged to donate the money I spend on my WW membership to sponsoring a needy child once I meet lifetime. ☺. I sponsored two children for years and I want to do it again.

@voronezh was this through Compassion? I have sponsored children in the past. Great way to change the lives of children!  

Answer 22

Sounds good I may start for every 5lbs I lose thanks for sharing

Answer 23

We did a goal chart before starting our journey. We were really good at doing it at the beginning but not so good about it lately.  

Answer 24

Great idea !  

Answer 25

I don't for 1 pound. But I do for 5!  

Answer 26

Every 5 lbs I buy myself flowers.  

Answer 27

I started that just this week. I'm doing every 5lbs.  

Answer 28

I keep a daily journal. Write in it everyday. Some good days some bad days. When I am feeling down I go back and read it. Motivsted me!  

Answer 29

I like y’all s ideas. Going to have to try something like this.  

Answer 30

A great idea is for every pound you lose, buy a pound of beans, rice, or other non perishable item. Put them someplace where you can see them. Donate to your local food bank or put them in a blessing box when you reach different goals - maybe after 10 pounds.  

Answer 31

I do this! I take myself to Kohl's or Macy's after every 3 lb loss
