I'm using the imagery of house bricks as motivation--an average brick weighs 2.75kg, and I'm aiming to lose weight at around half a kilo a week, which seems to be the rate medicos generally agree is sustainable and has fewer side-effects than more rapid loss. So every 5-6 weeks I will have lost another "brick", which is a pretty good interval for a mini-celebration.
I lost a little over two bricks before starting MFP, but on my ticker am just moving bricks from right to left based on progress since joining the site.
Anyway, today I put another brick behind me. Yay

PS: For the record, I didn't actually start using MFP until almost a year after my official joining date. So it hasn't taken 14 months to get this far!0

What a great way to look at your weight loss! I know it helps to have something to equate your weigh loss to...as an incentive.
I found setting up a jar with marbles (each one = 1 lb) and moving them to another jar as I lost helped visually, especially since I set the jars on top of my refrigerator! At this point I can honestly say, "I've lost all my marbles...and then some!" Makes me smile and keep on track when I see that "Lost Pounds" jar!
Keep on tearing down that brick wall, one brick at a time!0 -
