There was talk on the email list as to what helps people keeping motivated. Somebody mentioned the tracker I am using on this site. So I commented to that email with the following:
Hello fellow “beaders”. Yes,having a ticker was always very motivating for me. On the http://accuweight.marlyse.com section I have a ticker which ONLY encompasses my time on the beads diet, on my main site, http://www.marlyse.com I have a ticker which shows ALL dieting progress (40 pounds or such) and that ticker there I love especially, it’s a plane taking off to the right of a sunset and further to the left there are some clouds and I have a red balloon which traveled all of those pounds with me, through the clouds, into the sunset and at the end took off with me and the plane. Really neat stuff to have.
