Wanted to share this fun idea with you.
 
I have started putting $2 in a jar for every pound that I lose. The idea being that, by the time you lose enough weight to fit into a smaller size, you'll have enough money in the jar for a new pair of jeans. (or shorts or a shirt). You win all the way around. :)

That is biriliant! I wish I had done that at the beginning, now I'm almost at my goal and too broke to buy new clothes!

Good idea! I've always wanted my own a Lear Jet. :daze:
Actually, I will probably need to raid the money jar several times on my way down. Won't mind a bit!
Thanks for the suggestion!

Good idea, Angi!

I think I'll use this idea, but modify it a tad... I'll put $$ in my jar (actually a LARGE bottle) for a swanky vacation to someplace warm.

PS- MisterE, you totally crack me up!! ;)

Beats the heck out of rewarding ourselves with FOOD!!

(Which is how all this mess started for me... :D )

That's an awesome idea, I've lost almost 20 lbs. so far so 40 bucks in the jar ASAP! Thanks!!

What a wonderful idea!! I have to agree with the above statement about this being a healthy reward as opposed to food! I just don't get how one can reward themselves with naughty food for losing weight? Seems a little counterintitive! My food reward is like 5 strawberries or a few nuts!

Lessara Wed, May-28-03 10:54

With a slight addition...
 
I love the idea too but like MisterE, I could buy a motorbike! So I think when I hit a mini goal of 25 or 50lbs I'm using the money to get clothes, Now that would be fun!! :)
