Does announcing your intent to lose weight jinx your plan?

I’m curious about how many people announced the start of their weight loss journey to friends or family? Every other time I tried to lose weight, I had told at least a few people that I was trying to get healthy or lose weight. All those other times, I wasn’t successful. To be fair, I don’t think telling people was the reason I didn’t lose weight. Mostly, it was my mindset and lack of motivation at the time.

This time, however, I didn’t really tell anyone until I had actually started losing weight and so far I’ve lost 51lbs since last February. Making permanent lifestyle changes and making sure I’m eating at a caloric deficit by calculating my TDEE (total daily energy expenditure) online has helped me the most, but I think not having that pressure in the beginning did help me out as well.

Do you think that announcing your weight loss or fitness goals to friends/family helps you stay on track? If so, at what point do you think it helps?
