20 Best Weight Loss Reward Ideas
1.Do A Photo Shoot.
- Snap a full body picture of yourself in a mirror or have a friend take one for you. You deserve to celebrate your progress!
- Take That Selfie on the mirror that you always wanted to when you reach your goal either by the swimming pool or by the shower mirror.
- Your photos can be casual or professional, of you alone or alongside family and friends—however you feel most comfortable. Having them taken can help boost your confidence, and show you how far you’ve come.
2.Get New Gear.

To reward your work so far, and motivate you to stay the course, add some new tools to your healthy bag of tricks:
- a quality pair of yoga pants or mat,
- Buy a new fitness tracker.
- nice walking shoes or beautiful reusable water bottle, or splurge on something bigger—
- like a high-powered blender for smoothies and shakes,
- a road bike or even
- hiking poles.
3.Buy Sessions With A Personal Trainer.
Reward yourself and take your training a notch higher by getting a Personal Trainer to help push you further!
4.Take A Hike.
- Look on Groupon for discount local activities like escape rooms, indoor skydiving, painting lessons, etc.
- Some days (Not hot summer), the weather is so perfect you can nearly hear nature begging you to go out and enjoy it. We get busy and forget how much good some simple fresh air and outdoor exercise can do for us.
- Search online for nearby hiking opportunities. The internet is a perfect place to figure out the hike’s location, difficulty and length.
- And a hike can cost you nothing, unless you want to buy some snacks ,hiking boots or need a leakproof water bottle (which is a great investment anyway!).
5.A Little Pampering Won’T Hurt.
- Massage therapy can improve your blood flow and relieve those sore muscles, according to a study from the University of Illinois at Chicago that was published in the Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.
- Another study from the University of Alabama at Birmingham found that massage therapy can lower blood pressure, help prevent colds, and even enhance skin tone. So book that massage, stat!
For some that could mean a full-body massage, others a fancy facial and for extra tender loving care (TLC)—a day at the spa. 
- You could get a relaxing pedicure, which often includes a little skin scrub and mini foot massage.
- Or create a spa experience in your own home with some bath salts, candles and relaxing music. (And if you have kids, add in a babysitter.)-Get a babysitter and take a nap, read a book, or watch a movie.
