WEIGHT LOSS JARS - A visual inspiration

Hello Everyone!

I'm so sorry that it has been so long since I've been able to post!  My life has been undergoing a little 'remodeling'!!  LOL!  Seriously... I am undergoing a transformation of the 'healthy' kind!  I had to make a commitment to my local 24HR Fitness gym and my oldest son, Patch, who has now become my personal trainer.  Let me just take this opportunity to caution all you mothers of young sons out there... just be cautious when yelling at your sons, because they could one day grow up to be your personal trainer! LOL!

So far I have lost 59lbs and I because I am a 'visual' person (surprised?), I decided to make some 'Weight Loss Jars'.  Check it out:




Hope you like my little project!!

Creatively yours,

Tammy

I love this idea Tammy! Your jars are cute and practical. I'm can be a visual person too, so I think this is an awesome idea. I want to lose weight too becuase of my health problems. I have Lupus, RA and Fribromyalgia-so it would be a good idea to loose weight if I can with all the meds I take. You are doing great with your weight loss!!! How great that your son, Patch is your trainer now?!! Just watch out that he isn't to hard on you because you yelled at him as a kid. lol, lol Congrats on your weight loss thus far, you always amaze me!

I love this idea, Tammy! And congratulations on your weight loss! I've lost 46 pounds since February and still have 90+ to go. I'm also very visual and will probably be using this idea. Keep up the good work!

Wow Tammy you are an inspiration to me. 59 pounds lost is fantastic!!! Keep it up. The good (and bad) thing about having your son as your trainer is you can't make up excuses not to go because he'll know where to find you!

Mindy said...

Congratulations on your weight loss, I love the idea and because I myself have started on that same journey I need that visual to keep me going in the right direction. I am working on a metabolic program and I also have a personal trainer but, thank the lord he is not my son. hahahaha Thanks so much for sharing your journey and talent. I will continue to check back in to see what you have up next. Keep going you can reach that goal. Mindy

Hi Tammy! Congratulations on your weight loss!! You don't know how much I needed to read this today! My almost 4 son is in the worst part of his trying/terrible 3's & your comment made my day, lol!
On another note, I know there was no Texas Stampede this year. Any chance we'll have on next year (finger's crossed)?
