The latest trends seem to be weight loss photo journaling and blogging. People who do these things claim tracking and sharing their progress with others helps them to achieve their weight loss goals. What do you think about this? Have you tried either of these trends?

Taking photos was around in 2000 when I begin my journey.
There was site you could go to and see people's photos and story. They would update their story and photos every three months.
This happened to be a pay site and if you did your story and photo you could get three months free.
When I first begin using that site it was free then it was bought by a large weight loss corperation.
I did my story once or twice I think.

People would also post about keeping a photo record and how helpful that was.
I did it for awhile and life got in the way so after about three times I just stopped taking photos with every 10 lb loss.

I think that doing a photo journal either just for your own eyes or an online one could definitely be helpful.

Blogging:
I think blogging would be a helpful thing too.
A blog would provide accountability. It would also be a place to sort things out when you need to re-evaluate what your doing. You can also get feedback from people who read your blog.
I did it for awhile about a month ago then life got to busy and I dropped it.

For me blogs aren't that helpful.
A blog is usually just about you and doesn't have other's posting on the same board.
What has been helpful is being able to post what I plan to do, and what I actually did.
It was also helpful to respond to other people's posts.
I really miss that give and take.
I really miss the less structured board.

I'm very grateful to have this place to come to.
The question answer format has helped me.
but
I would love to see some posts that address accountability.
Like a place where we could post what we did, and or daily plans.
That would make it more community like
