Need Accountabilibuddies!!

Hi! I'm new here... I live in San Diego, CA. A beautiful city filled with beautiful people, inside and out. I have been trying to chip away at this weight forever. I have been a yo-yo in recent years... Coming from about 120 lbs to 150 to 130 to my current and heaviest at 170 (cough cough). Ugh, that's a hard pill to swallow. I'm so emotionally and physically uncomfortable that I just can't do it anymore. So, I'm here. Let's do this together! What do you say???

    Same here 120 at my smallest 174 at my heaviest struggling to get down from 140 right now. Constant up n down always scared of that 150 I know it's getting bad. I'd love some motivation and I'm on here all the time to reciprocate. Feel free to friend me!

    I'm in. Lost 75 pounds at one point, gained it all back and then some due to some horrible life choices. Looking to get back on track

    I'm in - I lost 50lbs a while ago and have been stuck in the 160s ever since. I'm both afraid I won't be able to hold on and afraid I'll never move that number lower. Could use some more people to help motivate me. :)

    Hi! I'm new here as well.. kind of. I've used My Fitness Pal on and off over the last few years but I've never used the community forum. I'm 21, in college and currently at 160. I would prefer to be around 140 -145 but I'm really aiming for 150 and being healthy. I think it would help to have some buddies!

    I'm a native San Diegan (and still not sure if that's how you spell 'Diegan'), been on MFP for ~3.5 year and have gone from 180 to 210 to 224 to 190 to 224 again... and now down to 220. Doing T25 and hope to start hiking regularly again (San Diego has some great hiking spots... well, for San Diego anyway) :)

    I may be in New Mexico, but count me in! 230 at my heaviest. In Oct 2015, an acute Illness took me to 199 in 6 days. Got down to 188 in Feb this year. In May, that illness returned, this time chronically. Long story short, I am back 201 today. My long term goal is 140-45. I have been there before and not only was I healthy, I felt it, and I looked it. It will take time, and help, but I will get there.

    This is almost identical to the issues I've been having over the last several years. I've been look for people to hold me accountable. It wasn't until earlier this week that I decided to start seeking people out on MFP bc my social group, isn't really interested in loosing weight.

    Yes!!! Let's do this people!! I think I've added you all. What do we do this... We post one goal in the morning, when you wake up and post it.. For example.... "I'm going to the gym to do a 30 mins workout." Or "I'm going to stay under my sugar goal today", etc, etc.. and we all keep each other accountable for meeting that goal. I'll be watching you and you watch me! Everybody does better when someone is watching! Haha. What do you think?

    Can you add me too? A couple of years ago I lost 65 pounds and got down to 190 from 265. 190 is ideal weight for my height and body type. I looked and felt great, but started gradually putting the weight back on. Now I'm 230-something again and determined to figure out how to get back on track and stay there! I read the myfitnesspal blog about accountabilities and made my food diary public to try to keep myself accountable that way... I'm in Buffalo NY, but I'd love to join your community as well. Will you add me?

    Same boat here. Smallest 120, highest was like 175. I was down to almost 140 and ever since I had my son I have been stuck at 170 and having trouble getting back to a regular diet and finding time for exercise.

    Day 1 done! I just posted my goal for today... Hope you all post yours too! By the way, does anyone have ideas/suggestions for other ways we can hold each other accountable?

    I love the idea of a forum where we motivate each other and I could also do with the help. I am Welsh although I live in Bratislava, Slovakia and I too am living with hugely fluctuating weight. I was around 125 kgs and dropped to 70 kgs (sorry but I can't do pounds) but I am currently about 110kgs following huge problems with my ankle over the last few years. I want to adopt a child and I want to be an active mommy so I'd really appreciate joining a group to motivate me in my quest. I used a slimming group in the UK previously but that is no longer an option given my terrible Slovak so I thought a Fitbit and myfitnesspal might help??? I'm naturally a healthy eater but my portions are huge and I am not moderate enough don't really think counting like this will help. I've also signed up to do the Moonwalk in London next May (a half marathon walked at night in a decorated bra to raise money for breast cancer charities) with my lovely Texan friend who also lives in Slovakia and I want to be fit enough to do it in a good time. I hope that you guys would welcome this Brit into your group - Slovaks are not the best at motivation and I need all of the help I can get

    Having similar problems. I have always done the yoyo from 120 to 160, and was last at 122 in 2008... now my biggest ever at 189 and can't seem to make any progress without falling off the wagon and gaining more :( I need support!

    I have added some of you. Feel free to add me. I try to catch up on news feed posts but I am guilty of being busy and missing days. I love new friends.
    I am 43, married mom of 1. I was always chubby in high school. But right after graduation I walked tons and lost 40lbs. I am small framed so that was all I needed. Now I do my best to maintain. Which can be tough. This summer has hit me with about 6lbs. Which isn't much but for me it is. I am only 5'2" so that was enough I wasn't buckling pants. Worse feeling ever.
