Before After

Paper Clip Weight Loss & Glub Glub Glub

I know you are saying "Paper Clips".  I read about this a long time ago where you can use paper clips as a visual reminder of the weight you have lost.  What you do is for every pound you lose you add one more clip to your chain.  I will be changing colours every ten pounds.  Since I am only one pound down right now I have a lonely little paper clip on my chain.  Here it is:

This paper clip will not be lonely for long as I plan on adding many to it. 

Water:  I did it!! I managed to get in my 8 glasses yesterday!  It felt so go to get this done!!  I am already on my way today to reach my goal.

I have a very busy weekend so I am not sure if I will be abel to post.  If I don't have a great weekend Everyone.

How great!

I love the paperclip idea and will definately  be doing my own. Plus that gives me an excuse to buy COLORED paperclips!! Exciting!!
Have a great weekend! And congrats on the water!

Great idea

I really like that.  I might try that.  You are doing great!  Awesome job on the water!

Great job!!!!

Congrats on getting in that water  Can't wait to see that paperclip chain grow!!!!!!!

I know what you mean about Paul on TBL and I too am happy he got another chance. I'm not attached to the Blue team yet, but I am impressed by their work ethic. So far I don't really have a favorite, but I'd love to see the orange team do well because I understand the mom's guilt over contributing to her son's obesity. Thankfully my children are still young and skinny/healthy - but I also had that lightbulb moment of what I was doing to them with chicken nuggets. It's a great show though, isn't it?!?!

Cute!!

I love the paperclip idea!! Congratulations on getting your water in!

Love it!

I've never heard of that one - what a wonderful idea! 

Enjoy your weekend!

Neat

I might have to start a paper clip chain of my own! I'm proud of you...you got your eight glasses down! Great Job!

Awesome!

That is such a cute idea that I am totally going to steal it! I want a chain of pretty colored paperclips! Thanks for sharing with us!

I'm stealing your idea

I Love your paperclip idea!  I'm stealing your idea.  :-)  It's good to have a visual reminder especially on those days you feel weak/"bad." 

Also, congrats on the water.  It definitely takes some reminders to make this a new habit. 

Question:  Do you belong to a "support group" yet on line through extrapounds.com?  If not, maybe you/us should start the "Paperclip Club" or something like that?  what do you think?

Have a good week.  I'll be off line until Friday - I'll catch up with you later.

Keep at it!!

Very Cool....

I LOVE this idea!!  I will be doing this myself, now:)  Thanks for sharing!!

Hugs!
