I'm on SparkPeople.com, which is free. You get points for doing different things and you unlock trophies and such. I'm doing their Bootcamp Challenge which will earn me a virtual trophy when I'm done. It's kind of fun.
I also reward myself for my own milestones. Right now I'm 4lbs away from a new handbag. It's sitting in my closet waiting for me to reach my goal so I can pull it out and start using it.Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.Comment
