What was Amy's reaction after she read it? How are things going for you now (six months later)? <strong>Thanks Gary! Well, she knows I blog so it wasn't much of a surprise I think. Overall I'm still having a hard time getting my groove back on when it comes to losing weight. Like others I'm looking to January 1st for inspiration!</strong> What an awesome post John!

Thanks Gary! Well, she knows I blog so it wasn't much of a surprise I think. Overall I'm still having a hard time getting my groove back on when it comes to losing weight. Like others I'm looking to January 1st for inspiration!

Good for you! I know when I first told my family about my blog it was incredibly embarrassing when I knew they were reading my posts. Long term though, it's been a great thing! Family and friends can be very encouraging. That's the way to step it up a notch! Good for you!

You may feel embarrassed at first but you will be amazed at how understanding and encouraging your friends and family will be. Broadcasting my struggle to everyone I knew was the biggest key to having success. It was scary as all get out...at first. But I quickly realized that no one was going to ridicule me. My friends and family just wanted to help. So spread the word! I say tell everyone you know.

I am glad your wife will know and can be even more supportive of your efforts. I have been thinking about telling people about my blog and weight loss attempts. I think no one knowing in my life is actually detrimental... accountability is such a good thing. Aww, good. I am glad your wife will know and can be even more supportive of your efforts.

It was a friend who has herself just reached goal with ww so she knew where I was coming from. I tend to forget she can read it as she doesnt comment on the site but every now and again she mentions some post to me I have made and that gives me the kick up the bum I need. Its much more humiliating to fall of the wagon to people irl than online anon, I find. A while back I told someone irl about it.
