I've seen this done in other groups with pretty good success and thought I'd give it a try here and see if you all would like to try it. Starting next Monday Oct. 1st if you'd like to join weigh yourself and then put that number and your goal for what you'd like to lose for the month. We will break it down to 4 weigh-ins so keep your weekly goal reasonable for where you are at (1-3 pounds a week probably). So for example it could look something like this:
Monthly goal: down 10 pounds
Starting weight 10/1: 300 pounds
Weight on 10/8:
Weight on 10/15:
Weight on 10/22:
Weight on 10/31:
From what I've seen in other group it seems to give some accountability if you can get past the nervousness of putting your weight for everyone in the group to see. Also it can build comraderie as we encourage each other to stick with it on our weekly weigh-ins. I'm going to try it starting on the 1st so I hope you all will join me because the more the merrier right!
