Accountability buddy?
Does anyone else want someone to talk to? To be honest about when the day isn’t so good? To cheer when the day is good, without any self-consciousness about whether “good” is good enough? I need a weight loss buddy who can walk the fine line of accountability and encouragement! If you need the same, message me 💖💖💖

Losing weight, or rather starting, continuing a new lifestyle of health, is never easy. When we do this alone, it's even harder. But when we combine our efforts together we become powerful.
