take a jar and fill with beads or coins, each one representing a lb, and transfer as you lose :)

    So if you gain a pound do you put the bead/ marble back? Makes since!!! great for seeing progress :)

    Wait, how would you put the cookie back if you gained?

    Well for some of us who have even more to lose, it would be fun to stick in $5 for each pound so that when we're done we can go out and buy new clothes that fit. If you have 40 to lose, you'd have $200 and that would help with some new clothes.

    Great idea! I like the dollar idea too! But I would have to hide my jars or my DH would be eating lunch out every day!! I've already lost 66 pounds. Wish I would've started this at the beginning of my journey. Where were you a year ago!

    this is wonderful idea. I think I will try this. because if I do lose my 90 lbs goal I will end up with $450.00
    I also like the bead idea. I think I will do both. double the motivation. trying hard in Northern Saskatchewan. cheers
