To me, the numbers on the scale are so amorphous that I need a more tangible way to track my goals, so I spent $4 at the dollar store and set thistracker up. I have decided to count my goals in sets of 50 lbs, so I bought 50 marbles- 25 clear and 25 blue. As I lose pounds, I will move the marbles from the first container into the second. I get to feel the cool success in my fingers, here the joyous tinkle as is bounces into the glass, and constantly see the reminder of where I want to go! I can't wait to move one over!!! Hopefully tomorrow ... :)
