    Have you ever considered an accountability partner? They can be amazing if you get the right one.

    While I'm not super opposed to that, I strongly feel the only person really accountable is me. I know for some people it really works (groups and whatnot) but at least for me, I need to hold myself accountable. I hope that makes sense.

    Yes. I had an accountability partner, never met, different gender, honest and supportive. We both made great progress. Sometimes you need a distant 3rd party to support, commiserate, challenge and even be critical. They end up being really unique and special friends.

    I am not focused on the number of pounds I have to lose. I am focused on staying on plan today. Sometimes I am only focused on staying on plan for this meal... the scale number will happen eventually. I am only focused on what is in my control.

    I’m on the last little bit too and just take it 1 day at a time.

    I really like this. I used to say one bite at a time, one day at a time, one pound at a time. Same line of thinking. Thank you!
