    What a cute idea! As someone said, I might have to do this with Pound coins and see how much I can save...

    Here's what I came up with!

    The red ones are hearts and I'm going to put one in the jar for every 5 pounds lost! :smile:

    I love this idea. I currently put $10 away for every pound I lost, but I think I am going to try this too! :smile:

    I love that! Would give me nearly $500 to spend on a trip!!

    I'm doing this with coins instead of marbles... coins in the "lost" jar get to buy me a new article of clothing!

    Check out this motivation idea!!

    Good idea: Put $1 in a jar every time you complete a workout. When you reach a certain goal, say $100, treat yourself to a massage or a new pair of jeans. Great motivation!

    I think I will use pretty colored stones for each pound lost, and will put away a dollar for each half hour of workout. That will motivate me to have good workouts, lol.

    Bumping for later; where did you find the colored hearts?

    At a craft store! You can usually find the gems in the flower/vase sections of stores as they are usually meant for vase fillers. I just happened to find some that came with white ones and heart ones!

    I just found this picture on Tumblr and I think it's such a cool idea!

    I think it would be so motivating to move each one every time you lost a pound! I really want to do this!

    where's the "LIKE" button?!?!?! I will be doing this for sure! :flowerforyou: :bigsmile:

    I bought a BUNCH of different heart stickers:heart: .....now is valentines season good time to get them everywhere. Everyday I workout and/or eat right I put a different heart sticker on my calendar that hangs in my bathroom. That way when I am in there I am reminded of all the self love/dedication I have.....simply by glancing at that calendar. It is a quick reference to see how many days of eating right and exercise I have also. .....Its super cute. Each day has all these diff hearts. It works for me, thought I would share. :heart:
