Hello, new here. Nice to meet you all.
I have found that one of my biggest problems in my weight loss journey is not having accountability to anyone but myself. That's a problem because it becomes easy to convince yourself that you can just start over tomorrow (or the famous Monday) and it'll all be okay. Only it's not okay because you keep doing this over and over and over again. So I'd like to see if there are any guys out there who feel the same way and would like to join me in posting daily (or however your schedule permits) to at least put your progress out there. I feel if I (we) make this public that it will be encourage me not to get off track. If you are with me, let's do this! If not, hopefully no one minds, but I will post my progress here. At the very least maybe it will inspire someone to get on track and do it too!
What I will post:
Day #
Starting weight:
Goal weight:
Current weight:
On track today: (yes or no)
Days on track: (consecutive days on track - set to 0 if you get off track)
What is on track? Stayed within your daily goals, whatever YOU set them to be; calories, exercise, etc. There are no rules but YOUR rules.
Good luck, gentlemen!

I find adding active friends on here reading/watching your daily status updates to be good for accountability. The forums get a little stagnant at times (some of them) and you do not get alerts of replies (at least I do not).
I won't have updated stats to use until July 1, but will do my best to contribute to keep this active.
Day: 160
Starting weight: 305
Goal weight: 222 (ish)
Current weight: 275 (June 1)
On track today: Too early to tell.
Days on track: 22 (I think)

This sounds like a cool idea - do you plan to post daily to this group page, or simply on your own wall?
Day: 171
Starting weight: 186.6
Goal weight: 150
Current weight: 166.0 (I weigh weekly on Friday, so this number won't change too often...)
On track today: so far...
Days on track: who knows??0 -

For accountability, open your food diary. Helps keep it real.0

Problem for me became that the food diary on its own lost the effectiveness. I've been calorie counting for years and keeping a log of the foods I eat. Sometimes it gets a little stagnant, unfortunately.0 -
This was for yesterday, since I wanted to wait to see if any binges occurred.

Hopefully will be able to get back into my gym routine next week...this week has been INSANELY busy at work, and I haven't been leaving until like 6pm or so...much too late to work out when I'm the one responsible for feeding the family...
But hey, healthy food has seemed to be working for now!
