Also a good option. At least sidesteel provides a good amount of personal engagement.3 -
What about paying the money to yourself? Have you heard of healthy wage? You sign up for a specific # of months, dollars per month and a weight loss goal. I'm doing 6 months, $25/month and a goal of 22 lbs. but you can do more or less and if you make the weight loss goal, you get all the money plus some. You can make additional money if you sign up friends.2

Similar, my PT sets my macros and is also a friend on here so he has access to my diary.
Occasionally I'll get a little email about my food intake...
I find that knowing he has access to my food diary helps me stick to what I'm meant to be doing. By and large. For the most part. Unless, you know, there's free cake. Or cheese. Or wine...
But I make sure to do my best to log everything. The good, the bad and the ugly. Then I at least know where to point the finger when I'm complaining about why I haven't lost the last bit of back fat!3 -
Not sure how useful that would be (unless they are literally following you around slapping food out of your hands). Plenty of freely available equations to tell you how much protein & fat you should make sure to get, and you'll be the one cooking and weighing and logging the food. I can maybe see it for highly competitive athletes, where it might be custom tailored per one's individual performance and competition schedule, but otherwise, I doubt it would be particularly customized.1

i realized how little my last post made sense re-reading it...

HOWEVER, I do use and continue to use ETP and can't say anything bad about them if you want to check them out - should not post pre-coffee apparently3 -

I haven't heard of that. That's pretty cool!0 -

We all need help in different areas, mostly our thinking. How long did it take you to lose the wt? I've been on here for yr & half & found my new habits have become habits, as I don't WANT to go back to how I was eating. Also, I struggled through having smaller portions of things I loved & didn't want to give up but used to eat a lot of at one sitting, sometime I failed but kept pushing thru. Now a days, if I have too much sodium, fat or just extra food,(as I did some at other ppl's house) I feel sick to my stomach. There must be some other way to get accountability help without paying lots of $$, some good ideas on here0
