celebrate making each one of your goals?   I am thinking mani/pedi's, facials or a massage.

I collect a charm for a bracelet my daughter bought me for Christmas. Every 10 lbs I get to go get a new one. It keeps me honest, I really never want to take one off!

I mostly just bragged to my husband, but when I got under what I weighed on our wedding day I went and got sparkly pink gel nails.

When I'd lost 100# I bought yarn to knit myself a cardigan. That was significant because other than socks I've never knit a garment for myself.

When I finally slipped into Onederland I ordered a set of really nice interchangeable circular knitting needles.

Yes, those 3 things happened close together. I'll enjoy using my new needles to knit the cardi.

My next significant number is 180 - what I weighed when my hubby and I met - and my doctor's goal for me. I'm thinking a weekend away with said hubby would make a lovely celebration. Of course I also wouldn't complain if he felt a need to buy me something sparkly to wear.

What goals are you looking forward to?

I have my eye on a pair of martini set diamond studs for when I hit my goal weight, just add a zero to my pounds lost and I will be able to afford them!  enlightened

When I lost 100 pounds I got my wedding ring resized!  I was going to wait but there is no way my knuckle would get to a 6 so I am so excited to get it back next week.  When I got to goal I got a nice shirt.  I guess I should have done something more exciting!  Since I have now revised my goal I will think of something more awesome for when I hit it!

I collect refrigerator magnets, and when I had my surgery I bought 10 of 'em, one for each 5 pounds I wanted to lose (I'm a super featherweight).  Every time I lost five pounds I took one out and stuck it on the fridge.

Honestly, by the time I made my goal (it took me a year -- I'm a super slow loser, too), I'd kind of forgotten about the magnets because LIFE was so freakin' exciting by that point!

I'm 5'2" and 55 years old.  VSG 3/17/10
