Celebrate with lots of fruits. 

Trying not to associate food with success but thanks 

A new outfit! 

New clothes!! 

Great job by the way!🙌 

Go out and do something fun and no edible. 

Do something ONEderful! So excited for you!!! Maybe, since you're in this brand new place in your life, you could do something brand new: one of those "paint in an hour" kind of classes? Take a sample ballroom or salsa dance class? Get a friend and go to a honky tonk bar and do some step dancing? Head to the biggest body of water you can find and throw rocks that total the weight you've lost?  

Try on new clothes or just window shop. You'll be walking so you're exercising and plan something good for a treat - not food. Maybe new earrings or makeup. Hug yourself! All of us who are doing this are amazing people-unless you've been on this journey you don't understand how hard it is. I have a wonderful husband who is so slender! But my first goal was to weigh less than him! I did it! Now it's getting away from still being a diabetic. Last blood work I went from A1C of 7.3 to 6.00 It needs to be below 5.6. But everything positive is progress! But I still will walk into the kitchen and want to eat like I did before - cravings never go away from me but most days I'm a lion tamer! 

Thanks, you guys are wonderful as always 

Great suggestions!! I love the idea of something experiential -- like dance lessons or maybe some day trip to visit a local attraction. Congrats! As it gets easier for me to move around, i am loving doing pretty mundane things that just would have been too hard before. 

New outfit 

That's great news! New outfit. Celebrate the transformation in healthy eats!! 

Take measurements - so you can celebrate the next milestone with both weight lost and smaller measurements! 

A new outfit will be nice 

Small glass of wine and toast your success! 

Hang in there. You’ll do it 

Yaaay! Almost in One-derland! Good for you! I’d splurge on expensive concert tickets and just lose myself in the evening. 

wooo! congrats! I'm almost there myself and I've been wondering the same thing. I think a little spa treatment (mani/pedi) is in order 😊 

I called it OneDerland too :) my suggestion... do whatever the heck you really want... pamper yourself, get that tattoo if you wanted it, eat a meal you’ve been missing with someone special.
