Weekly Accountability

While self-control and discipline are two things I lack in my weight loss journey (obviously), accountability is also something that isn't a huge part of my journey either.

Now, I understand that I have become friends with numbers of you from the YouTube Weight Loss Community, and that we all are rooting for each other to reach our goals, but there's minimal accountability in my personal life coming from family and close friends. I have a very small number of friends who are trying to lose weight, and therefore lack a gym buddy or someone to check in with on a regular basis.

So in hopes of putting myself out there a little more, I'm going to report weekly here on my blog with my weight and body measurements (a la Jess' blog). I don't have something terribly accurate with which to measure body fat, but hopefully I will be testing myself sometime down the road as I did a couple months ago to get some new results. 

I'll write up my first report today, but am planning on doing weekly updates on Saturdays from now on. (My next update post after this will be Saturday, March 24th). So let's see where we're starting!

Starting Weight: 278 pounds

Measurements:

Chest: 48"      Waist: 48.5"      Hips: 48"     Calves: 18"

Thighs: 29.5"     Biceps: 15.5"      Abdomen: 52"

Body Fat: 35.0%

Total: 259.5"

My body fat % is taken on my scale at home - probably not the most accurate thing...

In everyone's best interests, I will not be posting pictures every week like Jess does. She is MUCH easier on the eyes than I would be if I were to pose without a shirt on. I have taken "before" pictures, and once I feel that enough progress has been made visibly, I will start to post those on here. If I can stay on my game, I aim to post pictures every month. 

Are there any body parts I should add to my measurements? Any other things you'd like me to report each week?
