The Ultimate Accountability Thread

newmeat30

Anyone who knows me on MFP knows that I LOVE hosting 12 week challenges full of progress tracking and colorful charts. If that is what you are looking for, you will NOT find it here. I am starting this thread for all of you (and myself) that are looking for a place to help keep you held accountable. Maybe you have a lot to lose, maybe a little, maybe you are just maintaining. This thread is for anyone who wants to be honest with themselves and is looking for a public forum to post weights and/or measurements to stay accountable. You can set a goal and/or mini-goals for yourself or just post your weight.

Join me for (x amount of time) of accountability, motivation, support, and encouragement.

What do you need to do to join? Simply choose any day of the week that you want to weigh in and post weight and/or measurements, introduce yourself by stating your current weight/measurement and goal. Then just post your stats weekly for as long or as little as you want. You won't receive any reminders to post weight and you won't be "kicked out" of the group for not participating. EVERYONE is always welcome at ANY TIME.

Cheers! :drinker:

I'd love to! I had started 2 different groups and they have both just fizzled out..

I weigh in every Wednesday and this past Weds I weighed 162.2 (my starting weight was 175.6). My measurements are:

Arms: 11"
Ribs: 30"
Waist: 28"
Lovehandles: 35"
Hips: 40.5"
Thigh: 24"

I hope we can get a good group rolling!

I started at 225. I'm currently at 185.6! My goal is 115!

I started at 178 and am down to 174. I am only 6 days in to my new accountablility. I feel really good because I am eating better and feeling better. I don't know what my goal is because I have always been over weight. I think maybe 130 or better, we will see.

Awesome, I'd like to do this. I will be honest, I have not been good with keeping track of other challenges. But this seems nice and flexible.

I've been doing this since April 2011. I have lost about 34 lbs so far. I just watch my calories (of course) and I workout at home with the Leslie Sansone videos. I am currently at 239 lbs. I don't really have a goal weight in mind yet, although I have seen that around 130-150 is a healthy weight for me.

My mini goal this week is to NOT overdo it this weekend for the huge BBQ I am hosting for the labor day weekend. Beer is my enemy at these functions!

I would like to be at 235 by September 9th.

My name is Vic. Since January I have lost 33 lbs and I am in my goal weight range. I'm having a tummy tuck in December to get rid of the skin that didn't shrink along with the rest of my body. My goal is to lose 5 lbs by December or maintain my current weight. I've completed 60 days of Insanity, 12 weeks of TurboFire, 12 weeks of P90X, and I'm about to start 12 weeks of P90X/TurboFire Hybrid.

I'm def joiing this! I love being able to see my progress. I'll be weighing in on Thursdays. I copied your weigh-in times Vic, I love being able to see my progress on a weekly progress. I usually measure myself once a month, so I'll measure on my mini-goal weeks to remember to measure.

You are so sweet. Thanks to all of my MEAT friends that hopped over here. I look forward to doing the Christmas challenge that Falisha organizes with you too.

I'm jumping on! I love having something/someone to be accountable to. It helps to keep me going and, to be perfectly honest, I haven't been doing so well with my tracking lately. I'm hoping when summer's over (and therefore the BBQs, parties and travelling) it will be easier and I'll be able to jump right back in.

This chart is from a challenge I'm participating in (Merry Christmas Challenge) with, I'm sure, many of you.

Current weight: 217.2 lbs.
Goal weight (12/22/2011): 189.2 lbs.
No. of pounds to lose (12/22/2011): 28.0 lbs.
Weight Category: Reduce

9/1: 251.4

9/15:
9/29:
10/6: <<<mini goal weight: 244 lbs>>>
10/13:

12/8:
12/15:
12/22: <<<challenge goal weight 225 lbs.>>>

I'm going to set my weigh-in days to Friday, that way I have one day leeway in case something comes up and I can't get on the scale in the morning.
