Random Acts of Craftiness #8 - Weight Loss Jars

When I did Weight Watcher's a few years ago, I went to the meetings. One of my favorite parts of the meeting was at the end, when the leader would pass out the gold star stickers. These gold star stickers were for anyone that had reached a 5 pound milestone that week (5,10,15,20.... pounds). Everyone would clap as the person's name was called out, and it was my favorite moment of the meeting.

I saved all my gold stars in my weigh in booklet. Now that I am doing WW online, I really miss those gold star stickers. (Yes, I require the same motivation as a potty training toddler.)

As soon as I saw this on pinterest, I knew I had found my motivation tool. I looked around my house to see if I had the right container, and ended up using some of my old canning jars from my collection.



I used two bags of glass filler from the Dollar Tree, and made a label for the front (just like my pantry labels). I put 50 little glass marbles in the pounds left jar.



Then I took out 17 marbles and put them in the pounds lost jar. I felt so accomplished as I took those marbles away from the jar of 50.



Every week after I weigh in, I will be able to take some marbles and move them to the pounds lost jar (hopefully). That's almost as good as a gold star sticker.

    Thats a great idea, way better than a gold star. But keep them up high because them pretty little stones could just disappear if left where little hands can reach. lol

    I am going to do this tomorrow. I just started thinking of things to improve my health and wellness. I saw a couple of videos on youtube with women making these jars. I did a google search and your blog posts was among the top 3. 

    Thanks,

    Woah! I'm really loving the template/theme of this website. It's simple, yet effective.
    A lot of times it's hard to get that "perfect balance" between user friendliness and visual appearance. I must say that you've done a awesome job with this.
    Also, the blog loads very quick for me on Chrome. Exceptional Blog!
