Serial starter in need of a daily check in pal.

Options
So, I need to get back on track for good! I actually had a few months at the beginning of the year where I was good but then it went downhill and I put what little weight I lost back on. Life has been crazy busy and I'm just not in a happy place right now which has been fueling my non stop eating. I am looking for Pals who might help with daily check ins to keep me motivated. My goal is to loose 30-40 lbs over the next year. I really need to drop 20 before the summer.

    I've been consistently logging for a while now and it's become a very good habit & routine for me. Feel free to add me if you are looking for someone who logs in daily and supports everyone on my friends list. Good luck you got this!

    I’ve been using mfp for 6 years. I’ve lost 130 lbs.. I stopped for a little while and went on my own awhile, but my portion control got a bit out of control. I’ve been back about a month and I’m loving it! I’m pretty educated on nutrition and the psychological issues involved with weight loss. If you’d like to add me, I’m active every day.

    I am in the same boat as you are. Add me and we can hold each other accountable. Perhaps do a 1-1.5 lbs/week challenge among us. We can also compete on fitbit!

    Hi there! I am in exactly the same spot you are in. I need to drop 30 lbs and I need a minimum of 20 lbs by summer! I can be a buddy to you.... Journaling my food is the only way it works for me. I need a buddy! Whoo Hoo!

    Hi there! I am the same as you! I desperately need an accountability buddy or buddies! I have wonderful friends in my “real life” and they try to be supportive, but they are a little too empathetic when I “fall off the wagon”. I work out 3-4 days per week, ride horses and try to stay active even though I work in an office. My challenge is in keeping myself at 1200 healthy calories per day.....and tracking daily and consistently. So, I need committed buddies!

    A few years ago I joined and lost weight when I didn't think I could. Life got a bit crazy for a while and the weight was regained, but now it's time to get into regular, healthy habits. I plan to log daily to help keep focus. It'd be great to help others keep motivated as well.

    I having thinking how badly I need a daily check in buddy. I have struggled for many years with about 30 to 45 extra pounds. 5 years ago got to about 15 pounds and would gain and lose 15 pounds for the next 4 years. That was until last year when all the stress caught up to me and I put on 50 pounds in about 4months. I feel like stress is killing me. I can not change the stress in my life right now but I have to figure out some way to put my health higher on the priority list. Anyway I am 5'4 and need to lose about 60 pounds. I would love a daily check in buddy.

    I need a daily buddy as well. I’ve been doing WW but it’s not working for me. I honestly don’t think it’s the right program for me because I’m constantly hungry. I decided to do a little research and am going with this. I have 30lbs to lose. Just tracking today, I do not eat even close to enough calories in a day. I see people saying “you can add me”. How do you add people as “friends/buddies”?

    Add me. I think it's great when people do check in daily and you can track what they are doing and be there for others
