Make it a bet!

Right now I have two separate bets for weight loss. One with my friend and one with a co-worker. I'm not much of a competitive person, but I wanted a way to keep myself accountable. And having accountability at work and in my personal life helps. Each bet is 50 bucks for most weight lost in 90 days. I figure, if I lose a lot of weight (my goal is 55 lbs) , I'll secure 100 bucks!, if I slack off, I'm out a hundred. I don't make very much working at a charity, so not losing 100 bucks is a good enough motivation.

Funny how money is probably the #1 incentive, if it works then go for it. I like to place restrictions on myself as well like if I don't achieve what I want then I won't spend money on certain game tickets just to keep the pressure on. WE all have our own unique drivers don't we.

Geez, I'd HOPE losing a 100 bucks would motivate you. I'm currently in a competition with a co-worker and so far the only 'prize' is bragging rights since we're both trying to save money. But... we're both pretty competitive so it's enough. Betting definitely makes it more interesting...I'm not sure I'd be confident enough to bet money though.
