Yesterday I posted on Facebook:

Have a Goal? Tell other people what you are doing. This will keep you motivated to continue.

From that I got a few really good questions that I thought I’d give my thoughts on here. Here are 3 steps I’ve found very helpful when setting goals and making it happen.

1. Tell people. Post it on Facebook or Twitter.

2. Find people doing the same thing, trying to live that kind of lifestyle. These people will be able to support you even when the other people in your life don’t understand the changes you’re trying to make.

3. Try starting a blog and blog about it at least once a week. Commit to it! It will keep you accountable to the world

These things will help keep you accountable. That’s why I run the One Month Shed game. If you know you have to report your weight to someone you think twice before indulging in that 2nd pizza

I know becoming a coach has really helped me with my fitness and weight loss. It’s like my job – I need to walk the walk, not just talk. Not that I’m perfect… we had donuts yesterday But because I have the accountability I know I can’t have that donut every day.
