Ok, I probably need to loose some weight. I got to go back to the doctor in June, and would love to be down a few lbs. So here is my plan, for each week I still to my program I pay myself in cash in a fabric jar instead of a ww program! That money I can only use for my hobby! What an incentive! I mean really! Has anyone came up with this idea before? I wonder.

With that said, I am off and running with this idea Monday, plus I am meeting a friend in NC in a month. She is doing ww and doing quite well. So that is double the incentive! WhooHoo!

I might add this has nothing to do with my normal fabric budget! A Bonus if you will. I firgue $12.00 a week! That is very reasonable if not including the cost of gas, teehee!

What a great idea! How much is ww weekly?

Sounds great....

Great idea! Just talked to somw Church ladies tonight about just us meeting to encourage each other, one has lost alot of weight! on W.W. I know how to do it too. Its just doing it!Also have check up in June. Good luck ! I can see all the new fabric in your sewing room now!

That sounds like a fabulous idea.

Did you know that there is a thread on the board called Fat quilts for fluffy people? The incintive is that for every pound you lose you get to make a block for a quilt just for you. We give each other wonderful support. I have about 20 blocks made for mine.

I am planning on $12.00 a week. Depend if you go monthly I think it is around $40. Not included the gas to get there.

I seen that Fat quilts for fluffy people, but haven't checked it out! It is all a good thing!

Good luck! I need to lose some more too until snow goes away and ground dries up can't go out and walk! How much do you have to lose in the week for $12.00? Are you following any specific plan? Maybe I'll do it with ya!!

I love your plan. I may be a copy cat.

great idea! along with your diet try drinking ice water. it can't hurt but and keeps you hydrated.

There is also a monthly weight loss thread that you sign up the FIRST day each month. Person with greatest amount of weight loss earns a fat 1/4 from each of the participants.

Good Luck and keep us posted!

Great idea!

I think she will reward herself the $12 for sticking to the ww plan for a week, every week. (Itself a very good incentive.) the weight loss per week will vary, but just sticking to the plan over the course of many weeks will have excellent results.

Great idea!! Wonderful way to build the stash cash..and maybe a great road trip as well!! :thumbup:

I love this idea!

I lost 30 pounds between September and February just by cutting out sugar and flour.

That would be great! I started today, I am using a program on my iphone called "lose it". Free program very simular to the ww app. Check out 'sparkspeople.com" another great program! Also free! I like free, leaves more money for fabric :)

I have heard of people just cutting out certain foods and loose. I try not to have white flour, white bread. I am trying to stay with fruits, veggies, and protein as much as possible! I just bought a new set of scales, since ours broke a month ago. I was very pleased to see I was down a pound from last weigh in! Yep, just knowing I am saving money for fabric is motivating me, so far anyway!
