My motivational gem jar!

I had this idea a while ago, but never actually took the time to go buy the supplies for it! Well, I was at the dollar store tonight, and everything cost me under 10$!

One jar is marked ''Pounds Lost'', the other one is ''Pounds to Go''. Every week, I transfer one gem per pound lost to the first jar. That way, I can visualise how far I've came since I begun.

Just thought I'd share! :)

    I love this! I have some jars of my own. I like being able to visualize how far I've come and how much I need to lose still.

    I use M&Ms! So pretty and colorful! (And I don't like them, so I don't get tempted to eat them, lol!)

    I have a jar but instead of jems which is a really cute idea. I have been putting all the change i used to spend on snacks and junkfood, so that when i lose the weight i can go shopping for new smaller clothes without breaking my budget. My kids would keep moving my jems from jar to jar LOL

    I have one of these too! Totally awesome idea!! I ended up using 1 marble for 0.5lbs since you don't always lose things 1lb at a time!

    I've seen this on Pinterest and love the idea. I really like the 1/2 pound idea because let's face it - the weight loss Gods love torturing me.
