Visual Incentives and Accountability
Love the idea of a visual incentive. Grab some marbles and 2 containers and lets get busy. Take 20 marbles, rocks or whatever you want to use and place them in one jar. Everytime you drop a pound, move a marble to the other jar. Super simple and it's something that you will see daily. Might want to keep it in the kitchen…
