Start a Piggy Bank

Put the money that you would spend in the vending machine, at the bakery, etc., into a new clothes fund. That small change can add up quickly.

Ohhhh, good idea! Or maybe even a pay yourself plan for every pound(s) lost or OP day/week, etc. The money certainly would add up fast. Great tip Kim, thanks!

Just wanted to say that even though I don't respond, I read these every time you post. This is a great one--I put $50 into my vacation fund every time I lose 5 lbs. Hawaii here I come!

Hey Kim thanks!!
You know what I'm going to do... everytime my family orders out fast food. I will choose to make something healthy for myself at home. Then put the money that my sandwich/fries/drink would of cost me had I ate there in an buy me something nice fund!
Thanks you just made fast food less of a temptation.

What a great idea!!! Thanks Kim - I'm loving these tips!

I think I will put money into a vacation fund too! Steve and I plan on going to Mexico next year for our 5 year anniversary and not only do I want lots of money but I want to feel comfortable to walk down the beach in a dress or a bathing suit! So, I'm going to start putting away some money everytime I meet a mini-goal.
