Accountability Group - Looking for Friends!

kherting2016

Hi there! I'm looking to make some friends and build in some more accountability in my weight loss journey. I'm a mom of 2, 5'3", and weight about 240 lbs. I have gained a significant amount of weight in the past 3-4 years and have an ultimate goal of losing about 100 pounds. Tomorrow is my first appointment with a non-surgical weight loss program through one of the hospital systems here in town. I'll be meeting monthly with a nurse practitioner, dietitian, mental health provider, and exercise physiologist for 6 months.

Looking for friends so please add me!

I feel you - been a yo yo dieter all my life and now at 46 the yo-yo is slowing down and I have been putting weight on like crazy. I am now as heavy as I was when I gave birth to my third child (11 years ago). I have tried and tried on my own to lose weight, but have failed. I’ve never visited the community section on mfp or even read any of the posts in the past, but I am hoping by meeting others in the same boat as me we can overcome this challenge together!!

Been using this app for a few years and lost 30+ the first year and kept it off with minor fluctuations. I come back to it time to time to reset and check my eating habits. Had to start a new acct due to password issues do looking for new accountability partners.

Pretty new to this so hopefully I'm doing this right. I'm really needing an accountability partner! Ive lost a good amount of weight after having my 2 kids but I'm beginning to see myself fall into not so great habits again. I'd love to have folks to cheer me on in "weak moments" that cause me to binge eat or make poor choices!

Ugh, does anyone else hate all of the prep work that goes into this?

Feel free to add me. I log in daily. About six months ago i was down to 180 but the holidays have not helped. I was up to about 245ish right before having my 4th child (2017).

Hi, ADD ME! I'm 46 and have 90 pounds to lose! I am tired of riding the merry-go-round--I was motivated before to lose 35 pounds and then I got lazy and gained back 28 of them. I'm interested in getting my groove back and making this the year that I finally get it GONE! Add me--we can kick 2019's *kitten* together!

Also looking for accountability buddies. Been fighting this fight for a long time but fall off track easily. Dropped almost 60lbs nine years ago and been yoyoing since.

My wife and I have a 10 month old, so lots of sleepless nights this past year which involved "to hell with it" late night snacking.

Feel free to add me! I've been on my weight loss journey since August of last year but I've been feeling really low after the weight gain over the holidays. It would be great to have some friends!

I’ve done Whole30 (only made it about 20 days) and it really made me feel pretty amazing! You can do it!

Add me! Mom of 2 also and 5’2”. Currently 180 and 6 months postpartum. So ready to lose this weight. I’m more anxious about it now than with my 1st child. Everything is so much harder now, need accountability and motivation also!

I'm doing my second round of whole30! I did 26 days in August and it was pretty good. I need to get more and more veggies though lol.
I have a 10 month old and have 50-60lbs to lose

I'd like to find some accountability friends too. I'll friend some of you. I'm 46. Had lost 60 lbs around age 30. Gained it back slowly over the years. Starting again. Logged 7 days so far.

I have no idea how to add anyone, my first time posting on these forums. I started on November 12th, 2018..lost only 12 lbs so far. I definitely would like to lose 50 more lbs. Feel free to add.

I lost 50 pounds about 10 years ago, but all the wrong way. My diet prescribed me diet pills, so I basically starved myself skinny. As soon as I stopped taking the pills the weight came right back on and I have been yoyoing ever since. I’ve finally decided I need to make some life changes, so I can use all the help and encouragement I can get! 😊

Hi! I'm 31 mom of a 3 years old. After trying for a second baby and taking several rounds of fertility drugs I gained about 30 lbs, that I'd like to lose. I'd like to have accountable friends/group I can talk to regularly to motivate myself.

Feel free to add me too!
