As mentioned yesterday, I’ll be sharing some of my favorites from your tips to get rid of the 39 pounds I still need to lose.
From Wholefoodnut – in order to visualize the damage that the excess weight is doing to my joints, pick up something that weighs 39 pounds and carry it around for a while. So tonight I bought 39 (16 oz) bottles of water - as pictured. Trust me, I didn’t carry it around too long!
I decided to take this one step further. I am keeping the water in the basket. Every day that I lose a pound I get to take one of the bottles out and drink it. This will give me a tangible record of my progress.

Wow! What a creative and great idea both for visualization and accountability! I have been picking up bags of sugar to see how much I have taken off my old body but your idea seems to be much more motivating. Think I am going to be a copycat, my dear! Thanks....

Amyskids - this is the first time I've ever tried these "visuals". Time will tell how well they will work.

Gwen - Copy away! I had debated what to use for the weights. Then it occurred to me that I can actually drink the water so nothing will be wasted.

THAT is very cool ~ great idea!

That is a fantastic idea! Let me tell you that you are also looking pretty damn fantastic too. I loved doing visuals and this has inspired me to do the same again. I still have my crystal beads that I used for each kg I lost....a reminder of how far I have come and where I never want to return.

BuffyBear you are really inspiring me with your visualization ideas.
Seeing as I am a lover of all things relating to images, I found this cool idea:
New App Shows What You Would Look Like Post-Weight Loss. Do you ever picture yourself a few pounds slimmer?
Thanks to new app Visualize You, users can now better visualize their post-weight loss bodies.
The app allows users to transform an old photo and generate a realistic depiction of their bodies at a new target weight.
The app was developed as a method of motivating weight loss by creating a visual cue.

Tracy - I remember those crystal beads. Sure takes up a lot less room than 49 pounds of water - LOL

Love it!!! Great idea! Me, I would put the water bottle in my car. I keep them in there so when I run out of water in my cup I have a quick refill handy when there is no handy convenience store or fast food place to refill it.
