Motivational boards and charts

[Caz]

I don't know about anyone else but sometimes I really struggle to keep myself motivated but have found that little things help me keep going if I remind myself of them. So I've spent the past hour or so making a 'motivation board' for myself. Lots of different pictures and things to keep me going. Here it is..



I get to colour in a star for each lb I lose



The hotel at the bottom is where we're going on holiday in August and those are two bikinis that I WILL wear there... well, maybe lol I wrote down all my reasons for losing weight too, they're the purple bit at the bottom right, here's a better pic...



And this sums up how I feel about this year!



Has anyone else done anything similar to keep them motivated? Thought it might be nice to share them and ideas, might inspire people to make their own

It looks fantastic! I wanted to do this but I was worried my flatmates would see it in my room and think I was weird! Silly really!

 

[Caz]

Haha I know what you mean but who cares what they think, it's for you!

 

[Lottagirlie]

What a fantastic idea! Mind if I pinch it?

That's brilliant Caz! I may try to make one myself. or else plaster unflattering pictures of myself (mostly all pictures of me that exist! ) all over the kitchen. LOL. I especially love the bit where you get to colour in a star for each pound!

No feel free, that's why I posted!

I'm pathetic enough to look forward to updating things TOO much so colouring in lbs works for me lol I also put £ for lb into a pot for goal shopping

last time I did this I had a picture of a gremlin stuck to my fridge so that when I felt the urge to cheat it reminded me nit was the gremlins not me. He worked quite well when I was at home. My problem is when I go away or something, that's when I crumble so maybe a mini gremlin in my purse might do it....

Need to dig him back out again....

You know I have Mine has pictures of clothes I want, celebs that I'd like to have a figure like (Martine McCutcheon, Nigella), the names of shops that I want to be able to walk into and pick my size up off the rail, and events that I want to be slim for:

I'm loving the tracker ideas thank you!



inspired by them all this morning I made my very own rainbow star chart!

 

[Caz]

Love it! I've booked a holiday for me and my boyfriend this summer, it's currently 180 days away! I've decided that for every half stone I lose (which I've put as numbers instead of stars on my chart) I'm going to treat myself to something I'll want/need for holiday, like a new book, suitcase, some nice moisturiser etc.

thats a great idea caz! i also thought that your idea of putting a pound away for each pound lost (i might even see if i can budget more per lb).... good shopping fund!

its been funny today, i put my little chart on my notice board in my office and you can see people looking at it and trying to work out what it might be for!
