ACCOUNTABILITY
ACTIONS THAT REFLECT THE INTEGRITY OF THE PERSON YOU WANT TO BE
This is NOT a Challenge - it is a place for us to record our daily behaviors (behaviours) toward being personally responsible for our EFFORTS. We cannot control our OUTCOMES - weight - however, we can control our EFFORTS - daily actions aimed at losing/maintaining weight.
If you want to give this thread a try, just post 1 message on this thread. Each day during the month, the Age 50+ ladies are invited to add to their original message (using the "edit" button) by updating information about actions they have taken toward meeting their goal of losing/maintaining weight.
There is no single format - feel free to be creative. The winners on this thread are all of us who continue to work toward being accountable for our actions!

If we find you've stopped posting for a week without first mentioning that you will be MIA for a while, your post may be deleted. Starting weight Jan. 1st 131
