So I had an idea to get one of those silicone bracelets similar to the Livestrong bracelets that were popular awhile back, except with my goal weight stamped in it as a constant motivational reminder.
Has anyone ever tried this?
I actually found a place to make it that doesn't require a minimum order. I'll report back on the results.

I'm a vegetarian, trying to be better at eating whole foods and exercising 6 days per week. I've been off this site for a while, but I think I'm back for the long haul. Wish me luck!
My rewards for goal weights:
200 pounds: Order a body fat % calculator (I've been wanting one for awhile)
190: I can buy $40.00 of books that I've been wanting lately
180: He'll buy me a wedding band (we just recently got married, and at first I didn't want one to wear with my engagement ring, but I've changed my mind. So now we're making it a reward).
170: Professional full body massage (If you've never had this done, DO IT -- it's amazing).
160: New clothes (because my old ones -- even my old skinny clothes -- probably won't be fitting at this point).
150: Here's the grand prize -- we're going to go to either Africa or Europe! My husband grew up in Africa, and we've been talking about going for a long time. He has a lot of family there, and he hasn't been himself in several years. However, if that doesn't work out, then we'll go to Europe for a couple weeks. I'm SOOOOO excited, I've been wanting to go back for years and now I've finally convinced him to go!

That is something I would love to try -- not necessarily my goal weight, but a similar reminder. Definitely let us know when you find the site! Thanks!

My name is Carrie and I am a proud Navy wife with 3 kids. My youngest was born September 07. My goal is to lose my baby weight and go beyond to my goal weight. My real motivation is to fit into the size of pants I was before the 3 kids. I want to be healthy and look good for myself and my husband. I WILL lose 50 pounds this year.

So, what does yours say? I think it is a great idea, I just don't know what I would put on mine?

I have been hanging onto the last 15 pounds of baby weight since my daughter was 6 months old. I am ready to break through and get the last of it off!

A new job in a new state. Seems like a good time to make some changes in the rest of my life as well. Getting older and a little scared about how much harder it is to stay in shape now; really want to get back on track with exercise, hydrating, eating right, and sleeping enough (a lifelong struggle).

holy cow this is a great idea - also glad to see there's still some action on here - I just heard about traineo but after I had set up my page some and took a look in the groups there didn't seem to be much activity - glad the site is still alive!
