Hi Tiffany!
In my opinion, weight loss is tough enough dealing with YOURSELF when you need to face YOUR OWN reality of what you weigh let alone adding the anxiety of being forced to relinquish that information to others! I am very much an individual who values being able to make my own choices. I would find telling my weight to others a real invasion of my privacy IF I HAD to do it and really felt uncomfortable doing it!
They had a weight loss contest where I used to work. I continued to lose my weight, but I CHOSE not to enter the contest. To me it just seemed counterproductive to tell people what I weighed at a time when I was STILL trying to come to terms with that information myself!
Do what you want, and don't let something hurt you...ever!
