Has anyone ever made a Weight Loss Journey scrapbook? This is my newest idea that I am excited to start. If anyone out there has, what sorts of information did you put in yours? I have some questions from a book I am reading and, of course, progress pictures. Other input would be great, thanks!

    This is a good idea, because losing weight is a journey and something to be proud of

    I'll bump this up for you, I haven't had significant amounts to lose so no on that from me but hopefully you can get some good feedback on here, love the idea!

    I'm just starting out, but I'm putting together a folder of photos (buried deeply within my password-protected non-work laptop!) so that I have something to look back on to see progress. I have underwear photos of when I started, planning on taking them each time I've lost a stone (14lb), plus photos from yesterday when I started Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism (Jillian Michaels DVD). I'll take new ones after a month I think. I also have a spreadsheet with weight and measurements that I intend to update monthly. When I reach my goal (it's definitely a "when" this time, not an "if") I'll put it all together and keep it to remind me of everything I've done and how far I've come.

    I have been making a presentation of 2012 and trying to take pictures each week if I can and hoping this will show how well I am doing it is not specifically about my weight loss journey it is about the whole year so includes my son too - but I know it will show the changes I am making - good luck and its a great idea

    I don't have a scrap book but i do have a vision board with motivational quotes. Success pictures. Pictures of styles I would like to wear. Progress pictures of me. Note: I have enough privacy at my house that I can put this in the back bedroom and no one will see it :)

    I'm blogging my journey. Right now, I have it on the setting for only me to see. That way I can write down my thoughts - my struggles and triumphs of that day/week, progress pictures complete with the underwear shots that I know will show a great comparison when I reach goal.

    This is a great idea! I've heard that taking pictures is a great way to keep on track and get inspired. :smile:
