Happy New Year! Week 5- Weigh-In Results

As you can see, another 2.5 pounds lost for a total of 15 pounds lost since the start of The 180 Project. Proof that the holiday season can be met with weight loss instead of weight gain.

As we go into the new year, many will make resolutions to lose weight. If The 180 Project has inspired you, make it known, either on this site, the fan page, or start your own blog. If you made a resolution this New Years, get the word out to your friends and loved ones. Accountability can be a powerful motivator. Don't just privately say to yourself that you're going to lose weight, but assemble all your loved ones to enlist in their help. There is no shame in admitting that your overweight and want to change. They will watch your every bite and nag or encourage based upon what your needs are. If you're the type that doesn't care what others think, then care for yourself enough to show a little humility and let people help you.

This country is freakin fat! (myself included) We all need to find a diet, a goal, and stick to it. The point of The 180 Project is not to copy what I am doing, but finding a method that works for you. I am motivated by others, establishing a tangible task (a half marathon), and the prospect that what I am doing may help others (pledges to the Kampala Children's Centre). Your method may be different, the point is...finding one, sticking to it, and letting others know.

Happy New Year and I look forward to your comments! :)
