Sixteen Ways To Motivation

As seen in Fitness Rx, February 2009.  I wrote my answers next to each tip.  Which of these worked for you?

1. Weigh yourself every day.  Did not do this until I'd reached my goal, did it for a while, stopped.
2. Make a public service announcement about your weight loss plans.  Did not do this.
3. Believe you can be successful. Did this.
4. Read inspirational stories about women who successfully lost weight. Did not do this.
5. Set realistic goals. Did this.  2 pounds a week.
6. Follow a program. Did not do this.
7. Eat only when you are hungry. Did this.
8. Keep a weight loss diary. Did this.
   
9. Diet with a friend. Did not do this.
10. Look in the mirror nude every day.  Did not do this before, do it now.
11. Take pictures.  Did not do it before, do it now.
12. Join a weight loss support group.  Did not do this.
13. Get the support of your significant other.  Did not seek this out.
14. Hang out with thinner people.  Did not do this, and I think it's actually stupid. Friends are friends, not weight.
15. Watch tv shows about weigh loss, diet and exercise. Nope.  Now I do, though.
    
16. Give your "fat" clothes to charity. Didn't do this until I actually HAD fat clothes, but now they are all gone.

[The Baroness]

These are the ones I used to lose and still use to maintain:

1. Weigh yourself every day. (With the help of Wii Fit!)

2. Make a public service announcement about your weight loss plans. (Intentional or unintentional, everyone knows)
4. Read inspirational stories about women who successfully lost weight. (I have always done this obsessively)
8. Keep a weight loss diary. (Yep)
14. Hang out with thinner people. (I don't do this, but I do encourage my friends to go with me to do "thin people" stuff like rock climbing and yoga)
15. Watch tv shows about weigh loss, diet and exercise. (I do this all the time)

Great blog, BTW!

I think you did really well, but I never recommend weighing every day. Too many variables like water retention, time of day and so on. Most bathroom scales aren't accurate enough to register a true loss for a 24 hour period.

Much better to measure every week, when there should be an appreciable difference to see, but...

Don't rely on weight alone as an indicator of how you're doing. What you need to know is how much fat you've lost. You can measure that (again weekly) with skinfold caliper, or by measuring hips, neck, waist and height and using a simple body fat calculator.

Why do I recommend this? Well, while it's nice to know that you lost 2 pounds over a week, discovering that almost all of that 2 pounds was fat, rather than water or lean tissue, is even nicer!

Positive feedback leads to positive results and a better chance of keeping that weight off in the long term

Hey!I applaud your efforts to publicly announce your motivation to lose weight and to really spell out soon specifically what you want! You might consider reframing your last two motivators so they sound just a bit more positive. (Always focus on what you DO want rather than on what you DON'T want.) Check in once in awhile and let us know how you are doing. We'll keep cheering you on!
