Hello--

Feeling good about taking this step but it would so much more fun and real if I had an accountability group...let me know if you are genuinely interested and would find this helpful.

    That would be helpful for me too! Send me a request! I'd do it but I just got on this a few days ago and I really don't know how! :O

    What do you have in mind?

    Funny I'm reading this.. I just made (and I mean they JUST finished printing!) two excel sheets - one for workouts and one for meals. I don't like meal planning - I hate it. So, I left *some* room for flexibility - but I've got to force myself into some structure. I'd be happy to share them, if anyone's interested.

    Hi there!

    Yes, meal planning is a challenge for sure...who has time (argh), but for example just read a good idea on having a weekly goal of # of calories that you are aiming to burn per week...isn't that a great idea? and we can help cheer eachother on....love the "push" and the celebration piece...any thoughts?

    I can never remember if I do this right.. but here's samples of what I did. Hopefully.. you get the images! If not, I'll try again shortly.

    This time?

    Funny, when I read that topic title, for a split second I thought I wrote it! I had just said to my friend here that my biggest issues is accountability because I'm way too nice to myself and I forgive myself for every indulgence! LOL. I'm far more accountable to others than I am to MYSELF! I'm new here, found it actually, on my Iphone and have learned to use the app today and already I can tell how much more likely I will actually keep track of what I eat and how much I exercise since it is right there on my phone.

    Pictures... I haven't posted any *real* body pics... really don't want to. BUT... imagine what it'll do if everyone posts them and you see over the span of weeks everyone's getting slimmer............................................

    Just a thought.

    sounds good. Although that photo of all the exercise - daily zumba and Jillian Michael's makes me quiver!!!

    I tend to log my food one day in advance, just before bed. I find it fun thinking up what I can eat and playing around with my allotted calories. Having the app on the iphone is a bonus, so I can cross things out easily if I don't have them, or add quickly. I couldn't face doing meals for the week though.

    having some form of weekly target would work well - then bad days could be counteracted by good days eg. doing a massive workout to make up for ones you hadn't done during the week.

    I need an accountability group too! I always do better at something if I know there are others that are doing the same thing and have my back! Send me a request and we can all work together!!

    Thanks for sharing...I need to have some sort of guide that someone has actually used and can report back.
