Let's face it, all of us have heard of Facebook. On top of that, most of us have an account on Facebook. Even more staggering than that, most of us spend a lot of time on Facebook. I think it's about time that Facebook helps us in solving one of the problems that most of us have - losing weight.
It may not look like it since Facebook is more of a tool for connecting with friends and playing casual games, but it can really be a powerful tool to aid in our weight loss efforts. Here are some tips on how to use Facebook as a weight loss tool.
Progress Diary
The most recent and biggest change in Facebook is its shift to timeline mode. In this setup your Facebook timeline looks like a story of your life populated by texts, videos, and photos.
If you are working out, you can take snapshots of yourself and upload them on Facebook at regular interval periods. That way, you can keep track of your progress as you go along.
It's as easy as having an internet-connected smartphone, taking a picture of yourself, and uploading it online.
The Facebook timeline functions better than a simple before and after photo. It can actually show progression. This is way more motivating than before and after photos.
Support System
It's time to take advantage of all the friends you have on Facebook. An immediate effect of posting your progress in your timeline is that you can get comments (i.e. praises) from your friends almost immediately.
We know the power of positive reinforcement. Once you see those praises and support messages coming in, you can stick to your diet and exercise program better.
Instant Tips
An oft-neglected aspect of Facebook is Groups. Joining a Facebook weight loss group is really an information goldmine, more so than most people realize.
If you join a Facebook weight loss group, you can ask questions and get instant answers from a knowledgeable community. You can share tips and experiences and you'll get responses from people who are in the same level as you are.
So you see, Facebook is not only just for connecting with friends, socializing, and playing apps and games. It can be used for your weight loss goals (a more useful utilization of the site in my opinion). Now login to your Facebook and start using it to lose weight now.
