My charm bracelet
My sister came up with a great idea! As a reward to ourselves for losing weight we are creating a charm bracelet and getting one charm for every 10 pounds we lose! We started with a bracelet and two stoppers, then two charms (since at the time we had lost 20+ pounds). As of today, I have now lost 30 so it is time for a new charm already! The last picture is the new one I am going to get!
