These DIY Marble Jars Make It Easy to Track Your Weight-Loss Goals

When it comes to setting yourself up for weight-loss success, small tricks can make a big difference. One fun way to visualize progress that's popping up on Pinterest and Instagram is a good old-fashioned DIY project: marble weight-loss jars.

The concept is simple. You take two jars, either mason jars or other clear containers, and label one "pounds lost" and the other "pounds to go." You can count the number of marbles you want to start with, and then remember to put marbles in the "pounds lost" jar as you're making your way through your weight-loss workouts and clean eating. This isn't the only way jars can help with weight loss, so clearly people are onto something.

The tangible act of grabbing a few marbles and transferring them to the "pounds lost" jar makes you feel that much better after measuring your progress! Seeing the "pounds to go" jar get emptier throughout your journey is inspiring motivation that'll fill you with determination. To get some inspiration for your own DIY version, take a look ahead at how some people are sporting the jars in their own homes, and if you're not the crafty type, check out some prelabeled jars sold on Etsy, too.
