I'm thinking of getting some custom workout t-shirts made. Like listing why I'm dedicated, and how much weight I've lost. Can you think of any sort of method I can make a shirt where I can change the weight amount on it? Like "______ lbs lost since July 2013" and a dry erase or something? Probably can't make it work, but it would be cool!

    Apply velcro to a square of material (use a paint pen for the numbering) and stick that in the blank spot (where you will also have velcro). If doing a bunch of numbers gets pricey, make a square for every 5 or 10 lbs lost instead.

    Genius! I might just do that!

    You could stitch three sides of a square of a clear vinyl (from a fabric store) onto a tshirt and then inserted and change out a printed number inside. Or you could stitch a square of the clear vinyl to the shirt and write a number on it. I'd experiment whether a dry erase would be easy to use and non-smeary,

    You could get some peel and stick vinyl numbers from Office Depot, although I'd worry it might leave a bit of gumminess on the shirt when you peel it off.

    The vinyl idea went through my mind too. Maybe I'll try a couple different ways and post what I liked best :)

    Or you could do a version of this and cross out the numbers as you go...once you hit 25, you could have a shirt start with 25

    Didn't get anything out of the TshirtOS page....the maternity shirt is a good idea. Less to deal with when washing...
