Okay guys, I know...I have not posted much in a long time. I have kind of fallen off the wagon. I haven't gained much back (I'll weigh myself tomorrow morning), but I did gain a little of it. My main issue is that I've lost my motivation and drive. It's so hard to stick to a diet for this long, for me I started July 21st 2009, so it has literally been almost a year. That is just a LONG TIME. I realized something today though. I need to stop thinking about it as "sticking with my diet" and realize that it really is just a lifestyle change. That isn't just some polite phrase for diet, it really does need to be a change. I need to embrace that change and run with it, so that I can become the person who I know I can be.

ANYWAYS, I figured that I needed an accountability thread to get myself back on track. I know there are a lot of you out there that might also be struggling with accountability, so if you want to join in feel free!

I am with you sister! I have not lost much at all the last couple weeks! I think the meal/ww points posting is a great idea! Lets get serious (those of who need a boost, I mean)!

Im somewhat new here but definitely looking for accountability! So Do I just copy & past one of your guys' things above & just write down everything I do every day?

my recent history is the same as so many...a story of success mixed with a bit of backsliding. it so evident to me that there are things i do when i am losing that i do NOT do when i am not.
1. check-in and post here at 3fc
2. go grocery shopping!
3. make conscious food choices

i usually still exercise occasionally even when i'm not tracking. and i generally shoot to eat veggies and grains, buuut i don't restrain myself. SO yay! i think this is great! serious accountability in a one week chunk!

and hey, yes daughteroftheking! copy one of the calendars above or list out the aspects of your plan that you need to watch/measure.

daughteroftheking, the things you should post under the days should be things you want to track or hold yourself accountable for. For me, I need to track my weight every day or I'll go crazy. The reason I want to track my WW points is because I am supposed to stay at or below 24 points a day (for my food and stuff)....and I have not been keeping track of them, so knowing I have to post that number on here will hopefully hold me accountable. I also DO NOT exercise. About 50 lbs of what I have lost was without exercise. I know I need to start exercising, especially because I don't want to be one of those skinny/fat people who has no muscle when I reach my goal weight....so that is on there to hold me accountable as well.

If for you, the things you struggle with are different then you should list different categories (ex: calories eaten, calories burned, steps taken...etc...)

I plan on just editing my original post every day and then we can talk and support each other in the rest of the thread, but however you guys want to do it is fine too =D

Man! Great timing. I seem to have forgotten where I parked the wagon and should find it again quickly. I went in just now and had to move my ticker up 9 pounds and delete some of my happy "five pound lost" animations. I must get back on track and get going in the right direction.

Thanks for starting this thread!

Since I wont have the availabilty of a scale for a couple days Im just going to check in and say how Ive done.

I know we can all do this.

Cool sounds good! I'll try to follow along & see if Im doing this right, but here goes

I'm going to join you guys also. I feel like the closer I'm getting to my goal the more slack I'm giving myself and it's affecting my losing.. I'm working out just the same as before but my eating is my down fall right now, so that's what I'll be posting on. We can all do this!!

Great thread, I'd like to join! I haven't incorporated a formal exercise routine into my plan yet, but I lead a pretty active lifestyle. I plan to add in some exercise very soon, but for now I'm trying to focus on my eating (calorie counting 1,400-1,600 a day). And I'm also a daily weigher, it helps keep me accountable so here goes!
