    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.

    Same boat!!
    Smallest was 125.
    Had my daughter who will be 2 in December and have been stuck in the 160s ever since.
    I haven't been this heavy since high school and that was 8 Yeats ago. My goal right now is to be back in the 140s/130s but ultimately would love to be 115

    Hello everyone! I'm in the same boat, weight has been yo-yoing. Time to say goodbye to the extra pounds! I'm currently just under 180 and want to work towards 150 as my initial goal. Please add me if you think we are a good fit! I swim, run, and walk and try to eat pretty healthy!

    If I've missed adding any of you, feel free to add me! I'm posting my daily goals each morning and relying on all of you to push me to meeting it and you can count on me to be as nosey and annoying (haha) as I have to be so you'll meet yours. We can do this together!!

    So tomorrow is Friday, the day of the week I normally weigh myself... one way I felt accountable in my previous weight loss community was that I had to post my weight and the amount lost or gained each week. I'm going to start doing that tomorrow. Would anyone like to join me? If so, just post your starting weight tomorrow morning with the hashtag #Accountabilibuddy as your status. Then on each Friday, share your new weight (after you weigh-in), the amount lost or gained since the last week, and the total amount you've lost or gained since starting this accountability buddy system.

    Hello from Europe! I've been using My Fitness Pal for a few years to track my food, but only recently started getting buddies, being active in the community and trying my best to motivate myself and others. My highest weight was 101 kg (about 220lb) and now I'm down about 5kg (11lb). My goal is to weigh 60 kg (about 130 lb).

    Feel free to add me, everyone! I try to regularly post about good days, bad days, motivation and struggles, diet and workouts!
