Illustration of progress helps me keep the steam up

[PippiRuns]

Last week I saw that one of you had made herself a motivational board with (among other things) an illustration of her weight loss progress. Itsbab has two jars with coins symbolising the lost and the to-be-lost pounds.

It inspired me to do this, and now I can see how far I have already come. Nice.

EDIT: It wasn't until right now looking at the bullets again that I realised I have almost lost 1/4 of the kilos already! Woo hoo!

Hi IbenCophenhagen,

Does each counter represent a kg or a pound? I know you give your weight in kgs when you weigh-in at the Monday weigh-in group, so I'm assuming it represents kgs?

Either way, it is a very motivational representation of your achievements to date. Great idea!

It's kilos, yes. I want to lose 13 kg and have lost 3.2 kg so far.

[Zest Healthy BMI in reply to PippiRuns]

That's what I thought, but wanted to double check. You're doing brilliantly!

Oh thank you Lowcal

Very effective! Makes it look all the more of an achievement so far. Aiming towards intermediate goals works for motivation too - e.g. 5% of body weight lost, then 10%, and so on

[PippiRuns 6kg Restart Jan 2025 in reply to Hidden]

Definitely! My first intermediate goal is a healthy BMI of 25.

Well done PippiRuns 😀 fantastic visual to motivate you. Onwards and downwards x

Brilliant in its simplicity Iben! Great job!

Well done for being over a 1/4 of the way there too

Well done on your weight loss so far, I wonder how many motivational ideas we can come up with? 🤔

Love it!
