Public Weight Loss

One way to make sure you stick to your weight loss goals is to make them public: tell your family members, coworkers, and friends about your intent to lose weight so they can keep you on track.

But possibly the best way to make your goals public is to write a blog about your weight loss journey. And, in fact, this trend is growing in popularity.

Two examples. I periodically read My Big Fat Ass (http://mybigfatass.blog.com) and Mark Askey's Weightless (http://maskey.typepad.com/weightless)—both blogs dedicated to the personal sagas of two individual men trying to lose weight.

If you're currently trying to lose weight, then you may find some encouragement from reading these blogs. Even if you're not, you'll find interesting insights and helpful information about obesity and losing weight.

Speaking of sticking to goals, I imagine these two guys will have a few more readers to stay accountable to now that I've written about them. :-)
