Wink sponsors for motivation

For those with motivations issues, like lack of, what I found very motivating was to get sponsors. My mom and my sister each sponsored me for $1 per lb. You can get $0.25 per lb. or whatever, just get several people who care about you to sponsor you. You have to set a weigh in date and that is the weight loss they pay for. You need to let them know your goal though, so they know how much to sponsor you for. Then, you have money for a new wardrobe, which you WILL need! When I was faced with temptation, I thought about the $ I would get if I didn't eat that pie, or whatever. I hope this helps even just one person. You can do it!

Re: sponsors for motivation

I have to pay my daughter a buck for each chocolate bar i sneak at work. I'm sticking to this or I'll feel like an eel if i'm dishonest. Your idea is good, i think i'll ask my husband to sponsor me $5.00 per pound.

That is a good idea. My grandpa is sponsoring me $1 a pound. That way I'm on my way to a new wardrobe. I hope we all reach our goal weight and celebrate!
