DrmBig4Evr 152 Posted February 10, 2013 Ok, I was just watching something and it reminded me about this post! So this really isn't on the subject of "tracking" weight loss, BUT it is about our commitment to weight loss. What about putting a ring on our dominant hand so that when we reach for food we are reminded of our commitment to ourselves, our family and our life? Similar to a wedding ring, just a regular ring that can hold up over the years that can remind us daily of this commitment... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zoekids 120 Posted February 10, 2013 Hi I found this idea online the jar on the left says pounds lost and the jar on the right says pounds to go... Obviously I have a long way to go! Lol I I color coordinated the marbles green for the morbid obesity bmi, blue for obesity, purple for overweight and pink hearts for my healthy weight range. I like it good visual! It's pretty too! Thank you, I went to Hobbey Lobbey and bought dazzle beads. They were so small I did one for each 2/10 of a lb lost per BMI scale. I made one for my bathroom and one for work.

atelux17 135 Posted February 10, 2013 I've been wanting to do an outline. Just have someone trace you on some poster paper. U can do side& front. It really shows your shape& how big u used to be. Anyone remember that Alfred Hitchcock show where he walks into the outline of himself in profile? That's where I got the idea from. I also take a monthly picture.

Just tell them you are on another "diet" and thought this might be helpful way of keeping you motivated. it is true and if you are like me, they are used to being on a diet "of the month".

MOMW 71 Posted February 10, 2013 I do the pictures but never thought about the silhouette. That would have been neat too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
