What little treats are you giving yourself to reward you for all your determination and slimming body (the slimming body is a pretty good reward).

12kgs down = goldclass movie with hubby.did this last night.

20kgs= new clothes

30.8 = Goal weight + new diamond in my engagement ring that has been missing for years. It might be a slightly bigger one too!!

the rewards will be so many........

Kids will have a healthy mum
Hubby will have slim wife
I will like looking in the mirror
I will join in more and not be as self-conscious
Beach wear is ok to wear
etc etc

What is everyone else doing to motivate their cohen's journey??

Goodmorning Losing

I haven't done anything to reward myself yet. Just getting back into some of my smaller clothes has been reward enough.

I will go and have my hair cut and styled after my 8 week weigh in but beside that I am saving it for the BIGGIE getting to Goal, then I will shop for new gear.

I would love to buy a formal dress. I also have lots of impulse buy's [small ]clothes that i look forward to trying on for the first time.

I think the major reward is feeling so much better health wise my back and knee's which gave considerable bother has gone and before Cohen's I was starting to get migraines and they seem to have disappeared as well.

Not sure about swimmers yet i would need to tone up and their is still the cellulite is consider [yuk!!]

I'm going to get a hulking huge diamond eternity ring when I get to goal weight!! I want flashy big diamonds!

What a good question! I have the goals sorted out, but not the rewards as I have only been daydreaming of "normal" sized clothes!!! I am going to really think about this and post my goals and rewards later! Thanks

PS: HL and Losing, I looove the sound of the sparklers!!!!

Hey losing

I'm going to reward myself with a brand spanking new skinny wardrobe.
Everytime i lose 10 kilos hubby gives me a full body massage, oh how sweet.
I think thats about it. i think a nice dinner out somewhere in a flash new outfit will be enough for me. and been able to go to the beach and not hearing people call greenpeace.

Another big reward for me will be seeing a relative that has never been shy in telling me I need to lose weight - probably won't even recognise me at the end.

Hubby is very fit and goes to events and stuff and another reward will be not feeling like people think = "gee that's his wife - she's a bit fat"

Hey everyone!

i dont reward myself in terms of 10 kilos down,20 down etc but instead reward myself after my cohens weigh in!

After my 4 week weigh-in i went to Garden City (big shopping centre across the road from my cohens clinic-how convenient hehe!) and had my nails done

this friday (my 8 week weigh in) i will go and get my nails re-filled and add two little fake diamonds to the tips of the thumbs.

At my 12 week weigh in i will get my nails re-filled and get a pedicure.

If ive reached goal weight by 12 weeks i will get my hair jazzed up too, but i think it might take a few extra weeks so i will prbably hold off till my 21st birthday (1st of march) where i will ask everyone to give me $$$ for a humungous shopping spree and a new hair do!!

so thats me in a nut shell hehe

(psh and another thing im going to reward myself is to find a nice good looking boy for the winter! hehe!)

happy losing everyone! xx

i live 1km away from garden city, where is the cohens clinic? i used to go out of my way to east brisbane

Hi Netski,
I think FatCat means Garden City Shopping Centre in Booragoon Perth - that is right across the road from the Cohens Clinic on Risely Street. And oh yeah very convienient - I love going there I buy a new scented candle from Dusk every time I go!!

I used to work in Garden City at the radiologists there. Wonderful shopping!
Gee I haven't thought about that place in years.
I'm over the other side of country now and am six hours away from shops like that. Might have to pop over when I get to goal to go shopping.
I wish!

That sounds like a great idea! But - I know that diamonds are a girl's best friend, but Eartha Kitt (who was married to an Estate Agent) modified that to 'Real Estate is a Girl's Best Friend' and I know that you would agree with that statement!

My idea of a reward was to become a slim person, and of course there was all that retail therapy required because absolutely nothing fit anymore, and there is no greater thrill than wearing size 8 stretch jeans (with stilletto heels!)

So perhaps the reward was the stillettos?

Cheers

My husband and I are doing this together, so when we do well all week we treat ourselves on Sundays. We go to our favorite sushi restaraunt and then see a movie. We allow ourselves to eat what we want that night at dinner,and treat ourselves to a candybar and diet soda with our movie. Works for us, and in the long run doesn't inhibit our weight loss all that much. I refuse to act like I don't love food, because I DO, so this is a great weekly willpower booster for both of us!!!

I have thought about it and I have decided...drum roll please...I am going to have my teeth whitened!!!! There are two things I have always been self conscious about and that is my tummy and my teeth. So I am going to get a nice figure hugging gown and some new teeth, he he
Of course there are little rewards just along the way. This morning I tried on a dress I wanted to wear to my BILs wedding on the 4th Feb and it is way too big, that gave me big smile!

i do it for a living- if you need advice send me a message.

I think my husband would be even less impressed if I said I wanted to buy an IP than about the diamonds!
