I made these little progress bottles after seeing something similar all over Pinterest (I'm in love with Pinterest - I find that looking at pictures of delicious cookies actually helps me not want to eat delicious cookies - weird I know), but they were too gaudy and had things like "pounds lost" written all over them. I wanted to keep these in the kitchen and have them blend in with the decor so they wouldn't shout "hey! look at all the weight I have to lose!" I figure my butt shouted that loud enough.
