in Motivation and Support
Hi all

I lost over 40lbs recently but unfortunately 14 lbs have found their way back to me! So I am trying to get back on the wagon before it all comes back on me. I have been wracking my brain as to how I can motivate myself again

I was thinking of doing a photo diary of my progress and putting myself out there, It would make me accountable to someone rather than me as I am far too soft on myself!! I don't know if anyone else on mfp has done anything like this before.

So I am proposing to weigh in each week say on a Monday, upload my picture (headless as I am far to shy to show my face!!!) say how much I have lost. If anyone was interested we could support each other. Part of my thinking is how motivating the before and after pictures are in the success stories and I always thought one day I would love to show mine, so I thought what the hell why not show my journey.Weigh in each week but with a photo to hopefully see the progress visually. Is anyone else interested in joining me? If a few people are interested I can get the ball rolling!
EEEKKKK

    I'm currently doing a video diary on youtube. I get on the scale and weigh in on Mondays (today was the frist monday). I can also start doing body shots as well to show progress. My screen name on youtube is missladygray, but add me as a friend here and if you start a group for weekly progress pictures, i will participate. :) I'm on board with I can do to keep me accountable and motivated. :)

    Edited to add: if anyone else is doing video or picture diaries, please add me as well. I like to support others as well.

    I weigh in each week but I don't post photos until every month...me personally I don't see changes weekly. I see major changes monthly though!

    I sayyyyyy would love to but its like youre still hiding so why not challenge yourself and do something different (show your pic) and lets do it... this would be a big challenge for me also...
