As the holiday season approaches, I don't want to gain any weight. I want to lose weight. Sort of the gift to myself. I thought perhaps I wasn't the only one out there that might feel like a good old fashioned challenge might be helpful. I'm competitive with myself to stay on plan and making it a challenge, especially acknowledging it publicly, will make me more successful.
What I'm proposing is that each day we post a short note saying whether we are successful that day (night posters) or were successful (day posters) the previous day. Doesn't matter what life style you're following, just that you've stayed on plan. I know that Turkey day I won't be in my calories but that post I just won't get a "way to go", but that I will posted that I counted my calories and posted them. Whatever way of keeping yourself accountable would work. For me, it would be posting my day's calories. For WW followers, the day's net points, for low carbers, posting the carbs. Or just saying the wagon didn't leave you in its dust. Or if it did toss you off, getting cheers for you to jump back on.
My thought is that there are lots of support threads that we get into our lives and thoughts. This would be mostly just quick posts with "atta girls" and the such.
I hope you join me as I'd not like being the only poster. I'd hate for it to be a blog. There's 89 days left till the New Year and not a pound is going to be added to my body. In fact, my pre-resolution is that pounds will be deleted.

To be accountable here, daily, makes a person think twice before going over your calories/points/etc., but more importantly, gives you a place to wag your own tails while OP, and a chance to encourage others while facing the holidays!
gives me no guilt when I have the planned goodie (aka mocha). I must say I feel so relieved to be eating on plan again.
