Finally, 10 lbs!

I logged on here for the first time on May 26. I started cc consistently on June 13 or 14, and have had two weeks of vacation since then. As of today, I am 10 lbs and some inches smaller! It is a great feeling and now I am going to look for a charm to put on my new charm bracelet as a reward for hitting my first milestone.

What do you do to "celebrate" and how do you set your goals? Every 10 lbs will be a charm, but at 30 lbs and 50 lbs I have something more planned: a tattoo and a belly piercing (in that order). I'm not sure what I'll do to celebrate hitting my GW, but a year AFTER that (a year of maintenance), I will get a puppy

Best of luck to all. Remember that the tortoise wins over the hare!

wow wtg and congrats!

Awww I love puppies....dogs rule!

Keep it up!

congratulations!!!  I like your attitude. I buy myself clothes when I get to be a size smaller--but not too many, since I hope not to be that size very long. And I buy something really nice.

I started on May 15th and just reached a 10 lb loss. I plan to celebrate with a massage.

I haven't really celebrated my progress so far, but when I get to 180 (about 25 more lbs to go) I will be the same weight I was in high school...at this point, I will be getting a tattoo of my son's name that I have wanted for about 8 months now.

At that point I will have lost 50lbs and I think that will be a good time for a reward.

Congrats on your loss though :) The charm bracelet is a neat idea!

I know your not supposed to, but I reward myself with food (that I'm not supposed to have, usually Taco Bell). I've lost about 50 pounds but I haven't given myself a big reward yet. I think I'm going to buy a heart monitor and scale and call that my 50lbs reward.

I'm 9.8lbs down since I started CC in July. A good reward is a bit of clothes also like to get my hair done.

**edit now I'm officially down 10 lbs!

Way to go!! Go carry around 10 pounds of potatoes, they aren't light at all!! That's terrific!! When i get down to 180 i so want to get a nose ring (tiny diamond) like Christiana Aguillera has.  I love those!! Then i would eventually when i get to my real goal of 150 i would love to get a belly ring!! THat would be cool.  I set small goals of 5 pounds usually and if i can get to those i celebrate i may buy me a new bracelet or something small.  My mom said she is going to buy me a new outfit when i reach my final goal.  So it's something to look forward to!!

That's great! I was also just on a vacation and lost a lot of weight on it. It's so rewarding; to me it felt like I lost it overnight without a struggle. Best feeling in the world, congratulations!

I celebrate usually by going into my closet and trying on old clothes to see how much bigger they're on me. Sometimes I'll buy more clothes or get rid of the old ones, and if I pass by some sort of place where they're handing out free samples of food, I'll allow myself to have a sample. It always makes me feel happy.
