That's a neat idea. I have nothing on my fridge, but I think I may try something similar. Maybe I'll post pics of my progress.

As it is, our fridge has my sister's spelling tests and grocery lists. If I didn't live with my parents, though, I'd probably have a (relatively recent) picture of myself and a picture of a Victoria's Secret model or something to remind myself what I'm working for. :D

Well. I used to have photos of skinny people and lists of "good" foods along with a piece of paper with the number 1200 on it. That kind of fueled unhealthy thinking habits, so now I've got lots of positive quotes and so forth.

Right when I started actively losing weight and exercising, I got a fortune cookie that said, 'Eat your fruits and vegetables to ensure a healthy life and mind.' I thought it was pretty funny with the timing. I was at my parents house, and my mom was giving me a container of multi vitamins to start taking and she taped the fortune onto the lid!

I left it on there, so its not on my fridge, but I still see it every day and it makes me smile knowing that my parents are supportive and this is all to be healthier inside and out.. not just to look good.

Throughout my weight loss, I never put anything on the fridge. Never thought of it, to be honest. After the weight loss, and in maintenance mode, I stuck a picture of myself up on the fridge -- a recent picture after losing all the weight. Then, when I got engaged and bought my wedding dress, I stuck a picture of a wedding dress (not mine, of course! can't let the fiance see it!) above my computer (this is where a lot of the snacking occurs) to remind myself that I want to keep in shape and look damn good for my wedding... and that I have a wedding dress sitting at my parents house that I'll still need to fit into! Hah...

On another note... a couple gals at my work found out I used to be 40 lbs. heavier, and so asked for help and advice. I then showed them a picture of myself and my parents (they've both lost 60-70 lbs also) before and after... one of them took the picture and stuck it on HER fridge for motivation.

i really like the paperclip idea...however... i want to lose atleast another 60 pounds lol  wonder how 60 paper clips would look lol

This is in my kitchen - not on the frig, but I put 2 empty clear glass bottles on my kitchen windowsill. In one I loaded 45 colored marbles; each time I lose a pound I move it from the "fat" bottle, to the "thin" one as a visual reminder of what I've accomplished. Oh yeah, the "thin" bottle was from Orange Crush soda, so it says "crush" on it which is what I'm doing to this extra weight. Just crushing it.

I don't have anything on the fridge because it's not magnetic.  Now that I think about it, I don't have anything motivation related anywhere.

(but I do havea drawer full of magnets and things that were posted on my last normal fridge!)

I just have a single, very dirty fridge magnet in the shape of a cottage (a Thanks-for-looking-after-the-cat pressie from a neighbour, if I remember rightly). I'm not much of a quote person (find them cringing), but I think it might be a good idea if I put a big STOP! sign or something up!

weeks menu (when I remember to do it), kids' school lunch menu, grocery list

I like the paperclip and marble ideas.  I may have to steal one of those.

A magnet that is about 6 inches square.  It says Fat Chicks in black and it has a red cirlce with a line through, just like a no smoking sign.  NO Fat Chicks! 

You know, I just read through all these posts feeling puzzled, because why the fridge?  And then I realized that it's a place people go to for easy food, and can be a detriment to healthy eating.  My fridge is filled with raw veggies for the most part, so I don't generally think of it as my bad snacking place :P

My cupboards, on the other hand, are metal too.  Mayhaps the paperclips on the pantry cupboard would be really neat :)  Double-strings, one for hubby and one for me :)

I often make out meal plans and put them on my fridge. Right at eye level where I think I will notice it when I open the fridge. But I never do because there are so many magnets and things my kids have made or drawn. Just to many things to notice one particular thing. On the Side its full of schedules. Husbands work schedule....soccer schedule....and so forth. And on the other side? Recipes I clip out of better homes and gardens magazines! Some are Entree recipes but most of them are really decedent cakes and cookies! Not good, lol.

I LOVE the marble idea! I'm going to do that too!

Nothing weight related.  It's all my son's artwork and some photos of my kids.
