So here's my problem: I want/need to lose 10-20 pounds. I've been trying for about a year now. I've lost 12 at most, but it all comes back. I've tried to get support from my husband, family, friends... no one else seems on board with trying to get healthier, or they just tell me I don't need to lose weight cuz I look fine. Well I have a closet full of too-snug clothes that would DISAGREE! Ha! So I'm reaching out here, to strangers, hoping to find a committed friend that I can give accountability help to, and get help from!
I'm great at exercising, I love it and never miss a day..... my problem is just that I eat too much! Not necessarily unhealthy, just too much. And late at night. And I have NO SELF CONTROL to fix this problem, obviously..... or I wouldn't be posting for help....
So here are my ideas.
I know that calorie-tracking (food journaling) works for me. So I need to get back to doing that (using My Fitness Pal to track - I have the phone app, which is awesome, but does take some time).
In addition to that goal, I need to stop eating at night! Then I'd go to bed earlier, and I know more sleep = more weight loss. So I need to brush my teeth every night earlier and be DONE.
So those are my two goals.
Would YOU like to make those YOUR two goals?? Or something similar?
If so - let's help each other!! I'll hold you accountable, and you hold me accountable! We can do this by email, text, phone, whatever. If we both use MFP, we can really help each other feel accountable and stay on track (because knowing that someone else will be reading my food journal will definitely keep me from messing up too much - and I'm too honest to lie on it. Ever.)
So.... I'm hoping to get some sort of response from this. Someone COMMITTED. Because I am! I will be 100% comitted to helping YOU stick with your goal and checking up on you at least once a day!
I know I'd feel awesome if I could change my habits for good! I'm a busy 27 yr old mom with 3 young kids - I'd have so much more energy to play with them and feel so much happier.
I hope I can find someone who wants help too, so this will be a win-win!
