    It's just a number. If someone asks I'll tell them. This number doesn't define me, nor is it a gage of my health or fitness level.

    Starting weight 291+

    Current Weight: 225

    Goal Weight 120

    No. I dont like the whole notion of 'being held accountable' to someone else for my choices. I know if I miss a goal. An Internet random pointing it out isn't going to make me go "oh no I better get serious now because WeightLifter872 will see I slacked a little". Really, how does announcing everything make you accountable to strangers?

    I keep my stuff closed because there's too many people the just jump in with "helpful advice" (ie their judgements) when it's not requested. If I want help, I'll ask.

    Personally, I'm indifferent about announcing my weight. I don't generally do it because I don't feel it's necessary, but I've also had no problem stating my weight along the way if someone asks. However, seeing my ticker move on MFP has actually really helped to keep me excited and motivated about the process, and I measure myself regularly. As long as I can see some progress in the right direction, I'm happy. :smile:

    my weight is on my ticker and my own actions or lack of them is what keeps me accountable. I don't mind sharing my weight on here but I don't tell random strangers or my family in conversation my weight or anything like that.

    I don't mind telling either. I'm 118.2 as of this morning - down from a high of 178.

    No, I don't like to share my weight.
    My husband doesn't know how much I weigh, nor do my best friends.

    The kicker is that I'm not over weight.
    But I'm heavier than I could be for my height.
    I'm 4'11", so People think I weigh 90-100 pounds, so when they lift me up (yeah, another thing I don't understand about the need to pick up small girls/women), they have stumbled with a weight they weren't anticipating.
    CW = 118.

    I should get over my insecurity about not being lighter and enjoy the fact that I'm not heavier.

    Starting weight was 259
    Current weight is 229.5
    Goal weight is 144

    Looking at my weight motivates me to a point and I have no problem telling people here what my weight is.

    I don't mind sharing my weight on this site, that's why I'm here after all. I do not wish to share my weight with coworkers or casual acquaintances. I don't mind sharing my weight with my family or friends. They probably wish I would talk about it less actually.

    HW - 240 (2012 after struggling for over a year with severe depression)
    SW - 225 (MFP starting weight August 1st)
    CW - 216
    GW - 165
    UGW - 150

    I'm 5'8" and my REAL goal is to feel good everyday. I want to fuel my body appropriately for the activities I want to engage in. Losing weight is great, and it's definitely on my to do list, but ultimately I need to learn how to eat. Seems silly but I was never taught these things, I always just ate whenever and whatever I wanted. I absolutely love the science behind tracking calories and macros, and collecting the data everyday from my weight, and my weekly measurements.

    I don't mind online. I started at 338lbs, I'm now 293lbs. I've lost an amazing amount and I'm super proud of that. With my friends and family I have a little more trouble letting them how much I started at, some of them know, and eventually I plan on telling everyone. For now, it's still a little sensitive that I let myself get that heavy.

    I don't have any issues disclosing my weight, as we are all kinda in the same boat (or have already swam ashore), started at 245 and made it down to 218.5 (well in that rang) . I don't think that it would change my accountability either way. I feel like my FL on here are ithe most valueable tool to my weight loss and accountability. When I don't feel like getting up and moving, remembering that a friend looked forward to seeing what my burn for the day would be motivated me to not let her down.

    I weigh 170.2 lbs as of last Thursday (last time I weighed). I do not feel it's beneficial to announce my weight, but I don't mind announcing it.

    I'm not sure what you mean by "stay accountable". Accountable to whom?

    No - my weight is my personal business. But that's just my opinion :bigsmile:

    people don't believe me when i tell them i'm 210. :-) or that i'm "plus sized" - so it will be interesting when i get back in the 180's to see if they notice. :-) weight is a number... it's more about how you feel. I don't care if people know, but i also don't care if people know my age. it is what it is.


    I agree!!! :drinker:
