I am on the fence. I sucked so hard at the last round. But I really do need to lose some weight.
Just do it! We'll do our best to help motivate you.
I got sick and forgot to do it and dropped out - but I did lose some weight (not sure if I gained it back yet, we will find out) - totally worth it even if you suck. The accountability is great!
I'm seriously prob going to (if everyone is ok with it) do public accountability this time and force myself to post my actual weights on the board every week. I need SOMETHING and maybe that would be it.
I looked into switching to WW meetings just for the action of having to go and weigh in front of people, but it's like 3x more money and we can't afford that.
Whatever works for you! I told J and my dad to help me be accountable and they were. I cringed when I told them my starting weight and it was encouraging to hear along the way they could see changes and also congratulate and celebrate with me when I weighed in. Support systems work!
Eta: did you see the before and afters some of us posted? Those motivate me more than random ones I find on the Internet. It helps and you know you can do it!
Sent. I've gained majority of the weight I lost back thanks to the steroids I'm currently taking. I think it's water weight but seeing the number on the scale still sucks. I'm excited! Thanks for organizing.
If it's any consolation - a friend of mine had to be on steroids while preggo (eep) for insane migraines she had. I just saw her after not seeing her for 6 months and she lost all of the weight, and then some!

Where are the before and afters? I missed them.
Some of them were in the final weigh in thread from the last WLC. There was also another thread created that day (last Friday, I believe) asking for real inspirations,so some before and after pics were posted there as well.

Thanks! Mine were short term to try to shrink my nasal polyps, so I'm hoping some clean eating and exercising will help it shed off. My last day of taking them was Tuesday.
