I am not sure I meet the health requirements for bungee jumping - back trouble amongst other things. But paragliding sounds good...I had a few looks around on youtube and stuff, and it looks very interesting, and a little less frightening than a skydive.
Something to look into for sure, thanks for the suggestion.

I used to fly at a little place just past Owestry.
Paragliding is easy to pick up and you can be in the air after a very brief orientation. The canopy is very light and easy to carry so I used to really enjoy the weekends. I don't think there's another form of flying that is as easy for beginners to get the hang of.
You just need a hill and a sense of adventure.

There are two, though I won't get either of them until quite a few months maintaining.
1. My first tattoo. It will be a large tattoo on my right forearm and I've already commissioned the art for it.
2. This one isn't as sure as the first one, but it's possible that I will come into the money that will enable it and that is... plastic surgery(arm lift and tummy tuck) for the skin I've ended up with after losing all the weight.
There is sort of a third one, but it's more of a motivation than a reward, and that is a week and a half trip abroad this summer. I've only got 15-20 lbs left before I reach my goal, but it's taking a long time while at a healthy weight, so it's a fantastic reason for me to keep on plan every day.

Crest WhiteStrips... is that weird? It is sort of a two-pronged goal - if I am diligent about flossing and drop some weight, I will drop the $30 on WhiteStrips. It is one of those things that seems extravagant to me.
Can you tell that I am a student and have no money? Thirty dollars on something unnecessary is a splurge.

I never thought of this, paragliding, sounds like fun.
small voice:I am suddenly realizing that all of the things I want to do when I lose the weight finally are things that will cause my mother endless worry and more grey hair,
do you think I have a rebelling child somewhere in me trying to get even. end small voice.

Heehee, same here, only that it's not my mother, it's my husband. When I mentioned the skydiving, he wasn't a happy bunny for sure. I haven't mentioned the paragliding yet....*lol*

A new wardrobe.
I'd love to ditch the 'XL's' for good and get some nice looking outfits.

I'd kill for a wardrobe in XL's. Even at my lowest, after losing nearly 130 lbs, I was still in XXL.
Sometimes it sucks being nearly 6 feet tall and having the shoulders of a quarterback...especially when you're a girl....*sigh*

Works out your shoulders on a windy day
Raising the canopy, especially a large one, is a struggle at first. Practice with heavy cable fly's.

What a fun thread
I'll give myself 2 rewards
Going to a beach (if its summer time) for the first time EVER! I've always felt too self-conscious about wearing bathing suits, I still do, so hopefully at my goal weight that'll be gone.
2nd reward will be to go to a fancy restaurant and eat with gusto Of course I'll work my ass of the morning of.

Those sound like great rewards! Congrats on the 50 pounds lost so far!!

I debated whether or not to share this, and if this gets deleted then I understand, but it is honestly how I plan on rewarding myself. I've only been married 3 years. I can count on my hands the number of times me and my husband have been intimate in the last year, and it all comes down to my weight. We have a very honest and open relationship and have discussed it. I don't feel comfortable with him touching or seeing me, and he just isn't attracted to me at this size (very understandable!).
So when I get to my goal weight I am jumping my husband
I have this huge battle plan, oh he is not prepared and has no clue what I am plotting. From the set up to the room, to what I'll wear, everything. I can't explain it, other then I am determined to let nothing hold me back. Maybe it's my reward because, for the first time, I would be 100% able to just relax and love my husband without thinking about my weight or how much I'm jiggling.
There is a vixen under all this fat just dying to claw her way out
Hope I didn't make anyone feel too awkward with that...

Uhm...okay. For some reason reading that post above made me feel sad, and somewhat angry at the same time. And lucky to have a husband who actually loves ME, not the way I look.
I am not going to go into details, because it would be a very long and unpleasant rant...but it's your choice. Not a place for me to stick my nose in.

~ Off Topic: I just want to say that he does love me, and has given up a lot for me. My struggles have put him through so much. He quit college baseball, his dream since he was a child, and put college on hold for us to move to a better area for my physical and mental health. He wouldn't do that if he didn't love me. These were struggles that I had before I got married yet he still wanted and adored me.
There is more to it then that, but I understand that people only know whatever I tell them and I am not going to give out every nuance of my story. But I do know that there are many women out there who have husband's who aren't honest with them in this, their husbands just treat them coldly and push them away and some even divorce over it without ever kindly sharing with them their feelings. I'm glad that my husband values me enough to let me know that it bothers him in a loving and respectful way and has given me a chance to fix it. I wouldn't want him internalizing it and letting it destroy our marriage while leaving me in the dark. To me that is love, being willing to remove potential obstacles even if it is unpleasant to bring up because we want to be together forever and happy. I don't think his wanting me to be a healthy weight is wrong. Attraction is just one aspect of love, just because it is suffering at the moment doesn't mean love is now gone. I now have a chance to change. He didn't rip me apart, call me names, or treat me rudely. He was so uncomfortable he started shaking and tearing up. He didn't want to hurt me. But I asked him point blank if that was the problem. I'm glad he didn't lie. He isn't asking me to be stick thin, and it didn't bother him until I got over 240lbs. I personally don't feel that it is unreasonable.
I'm excited for my final reward and plan on making it a big deal
~I also want to reward myself with a full makeover. New haircut, new clothes, new makeup. I can finally give myself the style and look I have craved but couldn't have because, generally, they don't make that stuff in my size. Oh and to feel the victory of shopping in normal sizes!

Argh, personal things! I shall just skim over that!
Well ... Man, sometimes I can't even imagine being at goal, which probably isn't a good thing - more positive thoughts!
I will definitely be buying new clothes. In particular I've always wanted a really tiny little dress to show off skinny toned legs. That's the dream. Vain, I know.
I would also consider a belly button piercing but I think I'm a bit old now to be getting one, even though I'm only 22 lol.

I'll probably reward myself with a chinese. Ha, how bad does that sound? I know some people say you shouldn't have take aways as a treat but if you don't have them as a treat then when can you? Aslong as it's not a regular habit I don't see the problem. So yeah, i'll probably reward myself with a chinese and then go out and buy lots of new clothes!
