Seeking accountability buddy and support

Hi everyone, my name is Heather. I need and want to lose 130lbs. I get started on the right path and then seem to drop the commitment I have towards my journey to weight loss and being healthy. I commit to my volleyball team, my pool league, job, and everyone else that I help; but whether I get frustrated because I dont stay in my calorie count or just too tired from my work schedule that I dont get to my workout. All in all, just frustrated because I know I can reach my goals. Definitely seeking help.

    Hi Heather, I hear you! I struggle badly with keeping my motivation up, especially when I don’t have any outside accountability resources. I’m usually pretty good in the exercise front but I struggle with the nutrition and staying on track. I would love to work at this together! Feel free to make a personal connection to cheer each other on, or we can continue to check in here too. Whatever works!

    Hey there!!
    I would love to help you out!! I’m actually starting a community for weight loss and motivation :smile:
    I used to be a bikini competitor until I had my son, then I gained about 70 pounds with my pregnancy, and I have 50 ibs to lose! My son is two so I struggled for a while with my new body. But I’m learning to look at it as a way to help others and keep them motivated. I would train men and women while I was competing to help them lose weight or gain muscle.
    My YouTube videos are going to be about workouts (videos of me doing them), what foods I eat, my shopping list, check ins, weigh ins, measure-ins. I’m hoping to create a really awesome community and have it be a place men and woman can come to for motivation :smile:
    If that’s too much, you can always just reach out here and I can help you :smile:
    Even tho I’m not at my ideal weight yet, I’m working on it and I’d love to help others achieve there goals. It’s an amazing feeling.

    I’ve definitely been struggling too! Since 2014 tbh - it’s been a battle and I’ve lost so many times but THIS time I’m going to reach my goal and so will you! 💪 we’ve got this!
