I decided to re-post this because of making a new account, and I figured some of my new friends would enjoy seeing it. Mind you, this picture is from when I first made them, so my marble count is inaccurate. I bought all the supplies at Wal*Mart. I'm pretty sure it was less than $10. I "splurged" and got the fancier stickers. ^_^ Anyway, this has really motivated me. I have them in my bathroom, so I see them every day. It sounds kind of silly, but moving over marbles is very exciting!

If any of you are looking for creative ways to inspire your own journey, I would definitely recommend trying this. You could do other variations as well. Maybe exercise goals, miles ran or something pertaining to your weight training goals. Another idea someone suggested was hours worked out. Whatever your goals are, keep it up guys/gals!

What a great idea, will be going home via shops to make my jars. Think I will keep them in my kitchen near the goodie cupboard - make me think twice about going in it!0

Nice!! I made motivation jars too, after seeing some really cute ones on Tumblr!
Mine are tiny and shaped more like a fishbowl, and have clear stones and pink rhinestone letters for the words!

What a great way to visualize weight loss! I am DEF going to do this.. I'm so excited lol. I love using items to visualize how much I have lost (15 lbs so far) but this idea is just super cute and fun! Thanks for sharing one of your motivators... and admitting you love stickers lol... I do too and get some weird looks for it sometimes lol..0

Wow, that was soooo much fun! And motivating. Each represents 1/2 lb. My containers are too big, ohwell.
16$0 -
What a good idea! I have a sticker chart. I get a red sticker everytime I workout and a blue sticker everyday I stick to my eating plan.0

So creative and fun, love this!!!!0

OMG! What an awesome idea!!!! and I love stickers and little crafty things so I'm TOTALLY making myself some of these this weekend.
AWww.... thanks for sharing0 -
this is a fantastic idea! I love hearing how people keep up their motivation!
I have a white board and a piggy bank, I track every km that I run (have set a goal of the distance between my home town of Ottawa and Marathon Greece) and pay myself per km. The first 500k were $0.25 per km, the next 500 is $0.30 etc. By the time all is said and done I'll have saved up just over $4000 and the friend I am doing this with and I are going to run the Athens marathon0 -

I made mine out of tequila shot glasses and pretty buttons! I'm keeping them on my coffee table as a friendly reminder when I snack or am being lazy.
And you're right, moving a marble, button or stone over to the "lost" container is incredibly rewarding.
