@Ryan I can definitely see that working. Fear of public humiliation sounds like a great motivational tool. Is that why you’re always taking pictures?

I once read an article discussing people setting weight-loss goals and their inevitable failure to meet those goals. Some people tried a method of not just using the carrot (being healthier, etc.) but also the stick. If the people involved in this experiment didn’t meet their *reasonable* weight loss goal, then an embarrassing picture of them would be posted to a very popular website. Every single person lost at least the amount of weight they set out to lose.

@Isaac Great article, thanks. I liked the way he phrased it in this quote:

A bad goal makes you say, “That’d be nice.”
A great goal makes you say, “Oh my god! Yes! That would be amazing! I can’t wait!”
