Adam Waters tried and failed at losing weight several times. Then he decided to hold himself accountable to himself and the rest of the internet viewing community with a video documentary of his progress.

Because losing weight or getting healthier happen so gradually, it can seem frustrating and unrewarding to continue toward your goal. However, when you can see the results of 3 months in just a few seconds, it becomes obvious at how these small changes add up over time!

Take a Stand!

• Commit your health goals to paper (or blog)
• “Reverse engineer” the steps it will take to achieve your goal
• Create mini-goals for each day
• At the end of each day, document how well you did at living up to your goals
• Take a picture of yourself each day and keep it in a journal or blog

Your Turn to Talk:

What do you do to hold yourself accountable? Have you created an online journal to publicly hold yourself accountable to your goals? If not, would you consider it?
