My wife and I have considered this idea just for comedy sake and because it will be a good solid memorial.

Every time you lose 25 pounds, buy a bag of dog food, cement, soil - whatever you like. Make sure its a 25 pound bag though.

Then place it in a large and humerous stack in your garage. Every time you think "mmm chocolate" or "mmmm mc donalds". Walk into the garage and look at your "stack o' whatever".

Then try and pick up your "Stack o' whatever".

When you see those 2, 3, 4, 5 (and so on) 25 pound bags, I suspect your motivation will be... enhanced.

Feel free to join us in our insanity!

GOOD IDEA!

Although I prefer the non perishable items;0)

I have thought about this myself! Every time I watch my husband carry the big bags of chicken food to the chicken house, I think, "Good grief, that's how much I have lost, plus some!" When you see it like that, it really gives you something to think about!!

I regularly jog up and down the aisle at the grocery store carrying the biggest bag of dogfood I can find...usually 38 pounds, which is roughly what I have lost with the band. No wonder I felt like crap!!! My 2yo wonders what's going on, since I never buy any of the bags I pick up, I just heft to one shoulder, the other, on a hip, on my head, walk, jog, heave and ho. I just make sure the aisle is empty, but then I don't care if I get caught. It's a great idea! Especially since the frozen food aisle is next over...easier to pass on by the evil ice cream.
