Weight Loss Quilt

"I'm making a weight loss quilt! Want to join me? I'm making a 5" block a day that indicates whether or not I ate healthy, if I exercised, and if so for how long, and then for each week there is also a block that indicates whether or not I lost weight. I'm using this quilt as a fabric habit tracker and motivational tool to help me stay on track and also to give me something to focus on other than eating! If you would like to join me click the link to my blog and you can download the free Weight Loss Quilt Starter Kit that has all the info you need to get started as well as templates for the circles I'm using in my blocks. Lets do this together!"

Each block you complete can signify a healthy choice you made that day, whether it be eating well, exercising, or both. As you see your quilt grow and fill up with positive blocks, it can serve as a reminder of your progress and motivate you to continue making healthy choices.

2. Habit Tracking: Using the quilt as a habit tracker can help you stay accountable and see patterns in your daily routine. By assigning specific meanings to each block, you can easily track your habits over time and identify areas where you may need to make changes. This can be a helpful tool in establishing new, healthy habits and breaking old patterns that may hinder your weight loss journey.
