Motivational weight loss jars!
Great idea! Thought I'd share!
- Get two glass jars & some marbles for this project.
- On one jar write "Pounds Lost"
- On the next jar write "Pounds to go!"
- Now dump the marbles equal to the pounds you want to lose into the "pounds to go" jar & each time you lose a pound, transfer them over to the "pounds lost" jar!
Not sure how to post pictures on here yet, but here is my weight loss blog facebook page with the idea and picture of these jars!

It's really a good idea. I'm going to be doing this! Love, love!
And Pinterest has other cute ideas on how to make your jars look cute and all that! Just search motivational jars!
Just thought it be a good motivation fun kraft thing to do and share!
Enjoy!

That is a really cool idea! I have plenty of jars to do that! It doesn't have to be limited to marbles, but I think it's a great idea!0 -

I was thinking the same thing!!! Great idea!!0 -
I've been doing this since I started. I used little "floral" marbles from the dollar store. But I guess I need to dress up my jars a bit more, especially as they approach "equilibrium" lol!
Anyway, here's mine:

I did this abut 2 weeks ago. I love it. I have it setting right in my kitchen. It feels amazing every Friday when I get to move marbles over. Whats more exciting is to see the pounds to go pile get smaller and small! I'd reccomend this to anyone.0

Wish I would have thought about that! I promised myself $5 for every pound loss to buy new clothes later.The $1/workout would have been so much better.0 -
I just made those last night! Great motivation0
-
Me to, me to. But we will have the marbles gone in no time. We got this.0
-
Fantastic idea and I liked your FB Page lots of good stuff on there : )0
-
I love the idea of a $1 per workout jar! Definitely going to set that up tonight!
And since I don't have a jar big enough for the marbles, I think that I'll do 5lb or 10lb per marble.0 -
Brilliant Idea and something nice to look at and remember how far you have came when you are feeling disheartened! Will def have to invest in some marbles or something similar!
Also, I had a look at your facebook page....brilliant!!! I love some of the pics and the cauliflower pizza idea!!! YUMMMMM
Keep it up, very inspirational

This is awesome! I'm totally going to do this.0

I started putting a dollar in a jar for every pound that I lose that way at the end I will have some mula to buy new clothes. I also add in money when I feel I did something worth rewarding (a whole day without diet coke, veggies with every meal, etc.). It's weird but I LOVE putting the money in the jar and watching it slowly grow knowing what it is going towards.0
-
This is awesome
Totally going to do it. I have jars and marbles already, too! Thank you for this!!!

The money idea is a cute idea to! Lots of good ideas!
And another thing that is cute for the jar idea is you can use those cute small fish bowls as well!
I love krafts! Can't wait to post a picture of mine when I finish making it!
Post pictures of your motivational jars or other things you use! Thanks all!0 -
I do that too! for every 30 mins or more that I work out I put $1.00 in. Every day I don't drink soda I put 25 cents and every day I don't drink wine or alcohol I put 25 cents in and If I lose weight I put a dollar for every pound lost and fifty cents for every half pound lost.0
