Hey, I'm 35 year old female that is looking to find one person as a support and accountability buddy. One where we can motivate each other daily. I will be working on myself everyday and pushing to literally get in the best shape of my life. I'm going to hit my ultimate goal weight in 2018. I want this person to be working towards that same goal and they actively working to make themselves the best they've ever been. There are plenty of people on MFP but some aren't as active as others. I'm looking for someone that can support every day.

I'd prefer someone that has the same amount of weight to lose as I do (which is 90 lbs at this point) but they don't have to have that same goal as long as every day they are motivated to transform and change themselves for the better.

I lost 30 pounds in 2017 and I still need to lose another 90 lbs to hit my goal. So, I need someone to keep me motivated and someone I can keep motivated every single day. For example, If I feel like not working out or I get those "cravings/appetite" I want someone there to help me through those tough times. I will be there for that same type of support. I think having someone working towards the same type of goal (to get in the best shape of their life) would be very motivating and we can keep each other on track! :)

Please understand that I am looking for just one person because it is too hard to keep up with everyone but even if we don't become daily accountability and support partners please feel free to add me as a friend and I will be happy to watch your journey and support you when I can!

    Hi! I am Jenn and I am 35 years old. I am currently at my highest weight ever, 319 lbs. I have tried on my own to lose weight before, without much luck. It is hard when you don"t have someone to relate. I have talked to my doctor and she is extremely concerned about my weight. I decided to start keeping a food journal, and I have been walking every day. I agreed to monthly visits with my doctor and she is in the process of setting me up with nutrition classes. I don't know if you are still looking for an accountability buddy, but if you are I am available. :)

    Hi! I’m alice and I’m 31 years old. I am trying out a low/no carb diet for the first time in years after everything else i tried (severely restricting calories, running every day before work for months, and hiring a personal trainer to help me with strength training) didnt work! This is the first time I have asked for a doctors advice and low-carb is what she suggested! I would love to join you guys for a buddy system/support if you want a third!!

    I'm 35, 36 next week. I've lost nearly 20 lbs so far since starting at the end of December. I have 70-80lbs to go and want to hit mg goal this year too. I'm on every day. I've spent a lot of years not making myself a priority and I'm finally learning to change that. Would love a friend on here.

    Hello ladies, my name is Shawn. I am 40 and just 10 pounds shy of my pregnancy weight. I am part of a group call No Excuse Mom's in my area. You ladies should look it up and see if there is one near you. I am trying to get off the rest of my weight. I have a 20 year old who is married and a 17 year old who is self sufficient so time is not my problem. Would you ladies like me to pair us all off into groups? I need someone to push me as well. I usually am the pushy one and people drop me.
