Thanks for the great post Israel. It’s awesome to read that blogging has helped you, and others, stay on track.

I suppose it also gives you another area of support which wouldn’t have been there before. Blogging could actually be a great area to get into for those who just don’t have a strong support network at home etc - I hadn’t even thought of that before.

Best wishes, and keep up the good work!

The awesome part you may want to take note of is the added Accountability you now have. You have an entire audience encouraging you and Almost Forcing you to be consistent in your quest! Having people around you in the process of achieving any goal is such an important factor in your accountability to your own process.

I was watching the Celtics/San Antonio basketball game today and a large element of the commentator focus was on how Kevin Garnett is making the Celtics a great team because of his leadership and his encouragement for the team to remain accountable to themselves…although his skills don’t necessarily hurt! Keep it up. We want to see that six pack before the year is up!

This is my first time on this blog and I really like the content ; ) Have you guys checked out thedailyskinny.com yet? It’s mainly for healthy weight loss, but they also get into some great nutrition and exercise advice.

Yeah…it’s unfortunate as fitness is a journey. Not a quick fix or short-term solution. Make it a lifestyle and you’re golden.

I started out about 3 years ago just tracking my workouts, times, etc. using Blogger. It has worked quite well. You can easily see how many workout you did per month, check your progress, etc. And all for free.

You are right on in your writing that there is a lot involved with weight loss. It may be nutrition, motivation, exercise selection, psychology…you are getting results so you must be on the right track.

Plus, you are helping others…way to go.

Best,
Coop

That’s a possibility. Maybe they just got too busy.

I’ve only had my weight loss blog for a short time, but already I feel the same as you. Having a public audience helps to motivate me to stay on course.

Not only that, but I wonder if a lot of those folks who have stopped maintaining their blogs have also given up on their fitness journey. It is sad, so many that were around when I began have just disappeared without even a final post goodbye.
