That mind of yours just never stops thinking, does it John?
Actually I think it is an idea that could be very beneficial. Recently I had a bit of a weight gain. I sent out an email plea for help to members of the support group I lead at home. I had a couple women respond to my cry for help and we started holding each other accountable. We made a point of emailing each other our daily food journals. We've been doing this for the last 5 weeks and it helped. I took off all of the weight I put on plus a few more pounds and the women who were doing this with me restarted their weight loss after some really long plateaus. So yes, this type of system works and I do think it is something that all of us need if we hope to remain successful.
Just my 2 cents on your idea.
Keep brainstorming, John....you are coming up with some really good ideas!
