Hi all,
I’m looking for buddies to help keep me accountable. Goal is 25 lbs by summer. Anyone interested?

    Hello WC, I'll be one of your buddies. Goal of 25 lbs by summer sounds great. 1.5 lbs per week. Gen

    I'll be 65 this summer. I'll join you in a challenge to loose 25 pounds by June 16th? 🙃 Last year I lost 40 pounds. I need to drop 30 more. Right now I'm at a plateau so I'm committing to 2500 steps each day, 30 minutes of exercise and 30 minutes walking the dog.

    What's your plan?

    I will be 62 soon, just remarried, retired and moved to a new state. So many changes in a short time. Would love to have a few fitness pals for encouragement and motivation. Weight loss goal of 50 pounds do not have a time frame. Mel

    I just turned 60 and I'd love some accountability friends to share the journey. I'm too late to join the summer challenge, but would still like to be in the group.

    Hi,
    I will be in your challenge but I don’t think I will make 25 pounds by June! I was 20 pounds from my goal last fall then left home to help my daughter with her toddler while she was on bedrest with a difficult pregnancy. I gained 30 back. All because I never weighed myself. I started back on MFP two days ago. Feeling very down on myself! Linda

    Yes! I am 64 and have a goal of 30 lbs off by July 30th. Although I should lose more, I thought this is possible if I track and eat intentionally.

    How do we become buddies?

    You can do it! This is the perfect time of year- beautiful outside and just begging us to get outside and walk. I have found water intake and moving has helped me drop 3 pounds since last week. I am drinking 80 ounces a day now-

    I must add I decreased my calorie intake from 1990 to 1700 a day. Keeping protein, carbs and fat 40/30/30
