I cannot thank you all enough for your feedback on my last post. As much as I hate it that so many of you have had similar struggles, it helps so much to be reminded that I am not alone. You all are seriously awesome.
Know what else is awesome?
I have found my motivation today. Hello little friend!
I REALLY want a new iPhone. Between the audio and video recording and the improved camera and the increased memory, I spent my day covered in drool.
But wait. What in the world does this beautiful piece of technology have to do with my stubborn scale?
I’m investing $10 per pound lost. Actually putting the paper money in a jar. That way I’ll be able to actually see my progress AND we won’t really notice the money if it is $10 at a time instead of $300 at once.

Alright, boys and girls, hang on. Get ready to watch me shrink and watch the jar get full.
And make sure you’re following me on Twitter! I’m hanging out with these awesome girls tomorrow! I’m sure we’ll tweet all about it!
Great inspiration! I’ve been drooling over iPhones–any iPhone–too. *Sigh*
You will lose more weight. Awareness is power. Your body will naturally plateau at certain set points, but the only thing you can do is ride along, do your best and eventually you’ll bust through it.
Here’s to 218 & below!
Now that is one of the best plans I’ve heard in a while! There is nothing like “earning” something you really want to make it special, is there… You go, girl!
Krissie,
I LOVE this idea! Be sure to keep us updated on your progress – see you in just a little while! :)
Oooo, that is such a good idea! I totally want the new iphone, but I am content with the one I have now (3G). If I had the money available I would totally upgrade for the video feature – so cool. You can totally lose the weight and “earn” the phone. I know it!
OMG. I got my iPhone on Friday (3GS) and I LOOOOOVE it. It is so unbelievably fantastic that I can’t put it into words. All that wants to come out is YOUSHOULDSOBUYIT!
I guess what I’m trying to say is that it is way worth it and I think it’s an excellent motivator. PLUS it has MANY free weight loss/tracking apps available. So really, it’s going to HELP you. :)
