Welcome to the Charmed Ones. First off, everyone needs to go buy a charm bracelet. It does not need to be expensive. You can get one in the bead section at Joanne Fabrics for $4.00. Every time you lose 5 lbs, you get a charm. Watch that bracelet fill up!
This is going to be a fun group where we reward our accomplishments and help each other out. We work hard to get through this and its good to get that pat on the back. We also are always open to tips and such. Just a good circle of supportive friends.
Here's to many Charms!!!

Great Minds think alike. I went and bought a Chamilla bracelet about a year ago, but the charms are expensive so I only bought one. I decied to make it into an incentive bracelet, I never take it off. For every 5 pounds under 300 lbs. I get a new charm. I am finally under 300 lbs. Only 1.7 pounds from my Pinnocio Charm. It says "Dreams really do come true." I has a wishing star on the other side with a blue stone. I can't wait to wear it.0

Oh that is great to hear. I started doing charms with my friend Reesie. They aren't expensive, but what a feeling of accomplishment when you get to add another charm!. I am finally under 300 and am so excited to be getting in shape.
Welcome to the group, we are happy to have you.0 -
Looking forward to this group and making new friends!! Welcome everyone!!

That is super that you made it under 300!! I was over 300 but lost about 5 pounds before doing my first weigh in on MFP. I know how it feels to get out of the 3's. You will have your charm before you know it!! Keep up the good work!!0 -
I hope it's okay I joined too- I love this idea! I hope to be able to go get a bracelet this weekend- I do much better when I have little goals to work towards. I look forward to making new friends too- grapeeyes1 has been so kind to me! Have a good day all!!0

LOVE this idea. I'll be getting myself a bracelet (and my first charm...yay!) this weekend. 0

Hi all. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone. My name is Cindy and I plan on getting my charm bracelet tomorrow. I have a new puppy who is very active. I get lots of exercise chasing after him!!!

Welcome Cindy. I love puppies, but they are a lot of work. I have 2 grown dogs.0

I love this idea!!! I have the mini goals on my profile but they are small things like a pedicure and such, things that won't last but this bracelet will always serve as a reminder of my accomplishment! I have 110 lbs to lose so that would be 22 charms. Do you think that is too many?0
-
Hi, I'm Aerin. Krystie encouraged me to join here and I really love the idea of a charm as a reward. I have a family charm bracelet that has been passed down from aunt to neice since WWI. Charms hold special meanings to me and I think the idea of a charm bracelet for every 5 lbs is a great idea and something to work towards! I can't wait this weekend to go out and get a bracelet to get started.0

Hi my name is Michelle, I have about 50lbs that I want to lose in the long run! I have a pandora bracelet... I always get so much joy from getting a new charm! This is a great idea!0
-
I am new to this site but not new to trying to loose weight. I did WW for the last 1.3 years and it worked but i needed something new (and FREE!) I started the braclet idea when I hit my 10%. I have a pandora bracelet and love it. I hope everyone does great.. WE can do it!0
-
@underthecherrytree- 22 charms isn't too many. I have another 110 lbs. to lose, so I'll end up having quite a few myself! 0
-
I have 150...well now 132, to lose. So not, not too many charms, If it takes 2 bracelets, then so be it. But I think it will work fine.I love this idea!!!

That is great about your family bracelet. My dad used to travel a lot or work. He would bring my mom a charm every time. I used to love looking at her bracelet. It is great to have you as part of the group!0 -
It is so great to have so many great people in the group. We will do awesome and we will have a nice token for our efforts (besides the fact that we will look amazing!).0

Love the idea. My boyfirend got me a charm bracelet for Christmas 2011. I currently have 2 charms (dragonfly & dauschaund) I'm soo looking forward to a reason to buy more. Maybe when I hit my ultimate goal, I can find one that is a scale. LOL!0
