The next thing I learned is to have good accountability. I have had in the past well meaning people as accountability partners for losing weight but here’s the thing, if they are trying to lose too they will not be as hard on you. Then you have others that don’t want to offend you. When I entered this contest and got that phone call that they chose me I freaked out that night thinking what have I done. All of Lake county, my church family, family, friends and neighbors will all not only see what I weigh but also if I give up and fail.  I realized that it was OK. It had to be out there for people to know so I would be held accountable.  A day does not go by with out someone asking me about the contest. Even strangers come up to me about it. Now I know everyone cannot be held this accountable but be sure if you are serious to tell your family, coworkers etc so they will be asking. Maybe start a meeting at your church or work for everyone to meet and weigh in once a month and support each other. Give awards. Maybe have everyone contribute a dollar and the most percent loss gets the money. Have fun with it but most of all just do it.
