    I've definitely seen this all over Tumblr haha :)
    Can't say it's a bad idea!
    However, I won't be doing it because I don't have that much to lose.
    My "Pounds To Go" jar would be practically empty with 10-15 marbles!
    Lol but good for you guys who find this motivating :D

    I'm so glad I came across this idea on a blog! I put them right in my bathroom so I have to see them every single day. It's really going to help me stay on track. I got everything at Wal-Mart for under 10 dollars. It would've been cheaper but I wanted the pretty stickers. :D

    I am so excited to move the little marbles over! (Oddly enough, there is about 100 marbles in there, doesn't look like that much though!)

    This is a fantastic idea for a visual daily reminder! I may have to do something like this as well! I actually just started putting $10 in an envelope for every pound I lose. I figure by doing that, I'll have money set aside for when it's time to replenish my wardrobe! :)

    I am definitely going to give this a go! And those of you who are worried about children playing with it, just keep it on a high shelf that you can still see daily, but that they can't reach.

    i love this idea. but ive lost most already so im thinking of using them for something else... maybe exercise... dont know yet. anyone has any idea for what else i could use them?

    What about using them to track miles at the gym, or something similar?

    I'm glad everyone likes them. I am very excited to use them. For the person with the cat, I had the same issue. I put mine in the bathroom because we keep the doors shut. :)

    I get so smug every time I don't eat that Twix bar or whatever - I am going to have a smug jar of what I could have eaten and didn't :D

    Cute idea! My husband and I have a mason jar that we add $1 to for every pound lost. We're going on a nice date when we've lost it all!
