Hi friends! I'm sure I'm not the first person to come up with this idea, but it's new for me! I went to Wal-Mart and bought a pad of 800 stickers. My plan is to award myself with a sticker on my calendar each day that I work out. I know that I'm 39 years old, but there is still power in the gold star! I remember when I was a child and how delighted I was when I received a gold star on my papers! I look forward to my calendar to being filled with motivational stickers for a job well done!

That's such a cute idea! I think I'll go out and buy some stickers.

You cannot deny the power of the sticker. I am using some right now to help my daughter with potty training. Since I started letting her put a sticker on a poster in the bathroom for each successful trip to the potty and a second sticker for washing her hands she has had far fewer accidents and has even taken herself to the potty! Before the stickers she stubbornly refused to even try.

I bought some really cute Hello Kitty ones that I thought about adding to my calendar for each 5 lbs lost, .

Kelly, I hope you do! You deserve every sticker that you award yourself!

Diana, Do it! There is no denying the power of the gold star! You deserve them too!
P.S. I love Hello Kitty!

I think that is a wonderful idea!!! Good thinking, maybe I should try that

Thank you Nichole! It will definitely make me feel good to see a month full of 'Good job!' stickers! That will motivate me to persevere! Now all I have to do is do it!

With my luck, I'd forget to put the star up! But you are right that visual reminders are excellent!

I think stickers are a great thing!! The visual of seeing the colorful stickers everyday should definitely be a great motivation! Good luck...I hope your calendar is filled to the max with stickers of every color

I think you need to do whatever gets you to do it!!! That is the one thing I need to start doing more is moving this body of mine LOL. I have started but ugggg I am allergic to working out hehe

awesome idea! I think I need to start adding stickers to the calendar hanging by my desk for days OP.

Huh, I never thought of this before. Maybe I should get a calendar and try it out. It can't hurt right?

Thank you Kim K. I love Hello Kitty and it rubbed off on my daughters. They have no choice. lol.

Thanks to the dollar store I now have a supply of Hello Kitty, Star Wars, Spongebob, Dora and Strawberry Shortcake to share with my daughter, lol and for this month some cool sparkly Halloween ones.
