First 100 GONE! Topic

Amykee1 06/24/18
Hi, I've lost my 1st 100 lbs!! Now, on to my 2nd 100 lbs. I thought I'd never get back to where I'm at now, and I'm glad to see it! I'm trying to imagine myself when I lose the 2nd 100 lbs.

I know I'm going to end up with a lot of loose skin; but, that's much better than weighing +200 lbs extra!! I have one "little" personal part of me that will need fixing, but, that's all I will be able to afford. I'm not a spring chicken anymore, as I'm in my mid 50's, already!! Life just goes by so quick.

Congrats to you Amykee! What an accomplishment! I hope you are treating yourself to a non-food reward! I always encourage people to make a list of non-food rewards as a go-to when meeting milestones! It doesn't have to be expensive or really big.

Here are some ideas:
new bracelet, earrings, or necklace
flowers or a new plant
a new toy, ex: I got a cool red, floral bell for my bicycle. I also got a market basket for my beach cruiser

If you set smaller goals, like reaching each 5 pound milestone, you can reward yourself more often with little things, like going to a movie or a bubble bath. It can help with motivation, make it fun as well as remind us to treat ourselves with non-food rewards.

Anyone else have ideas for non-food rewards when we meet our goals?

Way to go Amykee!

Hey Brenda!! My Floridian friend!

I did decide on a reward and got myself something I've really been wanting during my whole weight loss. I got a FitBit Versa watch. I'm so happy with it, because it tracks everything--even when I swim laps in the pool.

Brenda, thanks so much for your great ideas that I can use at other points while losing my next 100 lbs!!

Strong work Amy and all of you have have been working towards a long term goal!
I am curious what other non-food rewards have worked for folks as they meet milestones along the way to a BIG goal?

For rewards along the way I am a fan of a new workout top or workout pants, or a subscription to a fitness app or taking some time for myself like a long bath:). Cheers to a great week! Joanna (Dietician)
