    Default Visual for your weight loss for motivation

    Here is an example of what I'm doing as of today. I want to lose 100 lbs from my highest weight prior to surgery 2.5 weeks ago so I put the 29 marbles (one marble representing each lb lost) in the second jar and now every time I lose a lb or more I just add that many marbles to the second jar until they are all gone. I am keeping in the kitchen where I will see it all the time.

    You can decorate the jars too but I am not that crafty......maybe put Pounds To Go on the 1st one and Pounds Lost on the second.
