February Accountability Challenge Day 7: Make It Public!

[Cafe MichelleP]

Welcome to Day 7 of the February Accountability Challenge

Being accountable in your weight loss/maintenance journey is going to be the key to your success!

Whether you are trying to lose weight or maintain your current weight, being accountable to yourself is where it begins.

Make It Public

One way to be accountable is to make your weight loss journey 'public'. Making it 'public' will help to keep you on track. Here are several ways to make your journey public:

• Join and regularly participate in an online weight loss community
• Blog about your weight loss
• Join a weight loss support group
• Join a workout out group
• Have an accountability partner

These are all excellent ways to receive support, motivation and accountability.

Other than participating in the Healthy Weight Loss group, what other ways do you make your journey 'public'?
Do you think being open about your journey is an effective accountability tool?

I talk about it I share my pics with friends,family.it is affective everyone knows what I'm doing so they remind me not to eat something while we are out

I am on mfp so anyone that's friends with me on there can see. Co workers know and although I haven't publicly announced my goals or anything on fb, I have commented about accomplishments ago people do know

I used to post my results on my FB all the time. Once a month I even included pictures. I have not done any of that lately. I really need to reboot and get going again.

I would not want to post that publicly.

I am too shy to post it where people that personally knows me can see it. but when they ask what have i dont to loose the weight i tell them. :-) im proud of what i have accomplish and im proud i was not sucked in on one of those extreme 500 calorie diet that a few friends wanted me to.

*done. Omg sorry for typos

[Docgirl2000]

I discuss my weight loss and exercise with my friends. Every now & then i'll post something on fb. Other than that i keep it kind of private. So many people dont umderstand my reasoning. When i started my journey i was only 10 lbs over my goal weight. Everyone would roll their eyes at me and make a rude comment when i would talk about losing weight.
