My Stickk.com profile

One of my favorit blogs of all time is Get Rich Slowly, JD has a way with words. GRS is a finance blog that not really about finance. JD and his guest writers have found a way to make personal finance more about life then money. Early in January when I first really committed to loosing all of these additional pounds I had so happily stored GRS published a post about financial goal tracking. One of the tools the writter used was stickk.com. I quickly reveiwed the site and signed up.

I chose not to have any money wagered on my success or failure. This is, after all, my first attempt at weightless. I have faithfully logged my progress every week.

Things I like about Stickk.com
  • It's free
  • People (strangers) can follow & encourage you
  • You can specify a referee
  • If you need the additional motivation of a punishment or reward you can build that into your program
  • You lost your goals and it calculates your incremental goals based on your reporting preferences
  • Most importantly to me....   I tells you what you are on pace to hit at the end of your commitment.
According to Stickk.com  if I continue to loose weight at my current weight I will hit 210.62 just before Christmas of this year (2011).  That would be 98 lbs. lost in just 52 weeks...  I hope I can do it!  No wait, I know I can do it...!!!

I do realize at 210 I will still be fat but it will be so amazing to see a whole new me!  I was exactly 210 lbs the first time I was weighed when I got pregnant back in 1998. the thought that I can reverse almost 12 years of gaining in just one solid year of work just fascinates me.

If you would like to friend or follow me on Stickk.com my screen name is 2drgns and my commitment number is #102687...  I can't find a link to me or I would post it here...

If you find Stickk.com useful let me know.
In addition to myfitnesspal.com and stickk.com  what web sites do you use?
