Height: 5'11"

Default 1 lb. = $10.00

I've decided to start a "reward fund" as a little oomph of motivation. On Monday, when I weigh in, I'll start putting $10 for 1 lb. Our funds are limited as we are newly married, new house, etc. & I'd like to start saving for new clothes once I hit my goal (obviously a long ways away) & thought it might be a fun idea. But, I'll only be counting full pounds, because the xuanfe might start getting obnoxious lol. Not perfect, but I think it'll help . Just wanted to get the idea out there, really just to think it out myself

That is a great idea! I know I would spend it though. I suck at saving money.

I think that's a scathingly brilliant idea! Just think, when you drop 20lbs. you'll have 200 saved already for clothes. You could even do $5/lb. and still have a nice sum to spend.

Will you take the money out of your lb. piggy bank if the scale goes up?

I like that idea and with your goal of 90 lbs that would be $900. That will make a nice new wardrobe.

Yep, I will take it out if I gain some! I have a lot to lose, so at the end of this, I might finally have the wardrobe I've been dreaming of as long as ive been overweight ... My whole life, lol!

I think it'll be just another extra push to stay on track
