Nibby's post of hitting the 100 lbs. lost has got me thinking about celebrating. How will you celebrate when you've lost the first 100 lbs? And are you visualizing it now?

I haven't completely decided, but am thinking I'll either treat myself to a great new outfit in a smaller size, or maybe a day at spa getting the works done. Or maybe both. How about you?

For those that have already hit the mark, how did you celebrate?

I'm going horseback riding!! tina

I am oh, so close and dreaming of a shopping spree. Got on the scales this morning and am down to 148 from 235. Only 18 more til I hit my final goal. Can't wait to go shopping! Barb 235/148/130

I think I'll buy some nice dress shirts and pants. Maybe a tie also.

I combined my rewards to make the 100 pound mark a great reward. I paid myself $5 a pound lost each week in a bank account and told myself when I hit the 100 pounds lost mark I could go on a shopping spree. That way I had mini rewards along the way to keep me going and had a big one for the 100 pound mark. I didn't spend it all cause I'm a real tight wad and it has been growing now as my shopping spree for when i reach my goal weight.

Spa sounds good. Really, really good. A massage--deep tissue or Shiatshu (sp?) with LOTS of water before and after. Then a facial. Maybe even a pedicure and/or a manicure. Where I'm thinking of going, that would probably cost a LOT more than a new wardrobe!

I've been trying to be nice to myself the whole way down, so I'm not sure I'll do anything different when I hit 100 pounds. I bought a lot of new clothes this fall because I had too -- I didn't have anything I could wear to work. I also have been taking time to do things I enjoy -- walks in the woods, movies, etc. However, stay tuned, I may change my mind in another five pounds when I hit 100 pounds off and decide that there really is something special I want to do to celebrate that milestone. I'll keep reading this thread for suggestions.

I'm going to Disneyland with my family! I figure by that weight I'll be able fit in all the rides and handle the endless days of walking. I've got my goals set at 2 pounds a week (I'm ahead of goal so far...), so hopefully we can go by Spring.

I reward myself for every 10# with another charm for my necklace. Did the same thing at the 100# mark but, didn't do anything special b/c it was 100. I have over 200 to lose, so even though 100# is a very significant amount of weight to lose, it's not like I'm near goal or anything.

Like someone else mentioned, I've been getting clothes as I need them and doing other nice things for myself. My reward for weight loss is better health and ease of movement so living my life is easier. I don't think any reward I could give myself would be better than that.

Mine will be something simple...like taking up golf again after a 20 year absence. (Last played 11/8/83!)

When I lose 100 lbs., my SO is going to buy me a tri-colored chain bracelet I want. I am almost halfway there.

Ok, this may sound childish, but I'm off to an amusement park at my "100 lbs. off" mark! I love roller coasters and thrill rides but haven't fit on them in a while. I can't wait to not have to worry about being embarrassed cause I can't fit! yay!

I sure don't want to be a wet blanket, but I'm a little leery of celebrating when I hit minus 100. The last time I lost a lot of weight I gained it all back. I am determined that this time will be different, and the difference can only be in my attitude - I want to look at what I am doing now as a permanent change in my life, not as a goal to be reached. This may seem like a fine distinction, but for me it's important. I've been celebrating all along, though! Not a day goes by that I don't feel happy, even joyful, about my improved health and smaller self I want to KEEP that feeling (which may be hard to do) after I've lost about all the weight I need to. But that's a topic for another time.

I had to think about this one.....at first I would have thought a professional massage, but after having a day at the spa a few weeks ago - I was more sore after the massage then I was before! I have a reward in mind for when I get to goal - but I didn't think of anything for when I lose 100 pounds. Since we will probably (hopefully) be living in Florida by the time I see that milestone - I think I will celebrate by just DH and I going to Disney for a day, so I can ride all the rides!!!! I would love to ride the Rock-N-Roll rollercoaster, Space Mountain, and a few others that we couldn't try because we had the kids with us last time. I don't know - I guess I just want to ride those rides because I know I'll fit when I lose 100 pounds!

I think I'll go to Glamour Shots and have a really good picture taken for the first time in my adult life. Would be a good way to document the change in weight, and hopefully I'd see a more glamorous me!

Onward....
