    I have tried to replace one physical reward (food) with another (massages!). For every month I'm 'good', I book a massage. That or workout gear. Anything that will get me in the gym to try it out. Probably both unnecessary, but they work for me.

    oh yea. a massage is in my near future!!

    I have a plain mason jar. It held 150 marbles, one for each pound I need to lose.

    When I go down to the next lower pound, I move a marble to my beautiful, sparkly, purple vase.

    I never move them back. Twice since I started I have gone up by 10 pounds before I started losing again.

    So far, there are 123 marbles in the "new me" jar and only 27 in the "old me" jar!

    It's a really stunning reminder of how much hard work it takes to lose weight. When I show it to friends and family they are left speachless!

    Love this!!! I may do it too!!!

    I've been doing dietbets where you bet that you can lose 4% of your body weight is 4 weeks. If I win, I get my money back and split the pot with the other winners. I've been saving up my winnings other than what I put out for the next bet, and I'm going to buy new clothes with it! I've done 4 so far and won each time.
