    I agree with everything in your original post. I totally need to be held accountable. I'm on a mission to be my healthiest this year. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired! Time to feel healthy and stop yo-yo dieting. I'm off to a good start today. Feel free to add me and we can all hold each other accountable.

    If I disrespected or offended anyone I am truly sorry. I was only stating my view and only what I do.

    WOW, I love this too and wonder how many "buddies" you have? Do you think starting a group would be a good idea? Maybe then we can team up with 1 or 2 individuals instead of you helping all these people be accountable. What do you think of my idea? I don't know what the site allows as for as far as forming groups, but there are other ways to do it too. Let me know what you think!

    That's a great idea. One of my goals is to eventually write a book on the diet industry to help people deal with all the stigma, fads, lieds, negative information, bad information.

    I am thinking of possibly starting a group on here but not sure how to go about it- do you?
    THanks for the positive feedback everyone!
    It is hard to email everyone constantly and buddying up is good. I have also thought of doing conference calls weekly to check in and for support. I know there are ways to do that.

    "I don't believe that being overweight is due to laziness- Most of us overweight people have to work on our minds too- it's not just about overeating."

    Love this!

    I'm in. Looking to be healthy and fit, physically & mentally.
    Sent friend request.

    WOW! Merzback, you said it all and thank you for doing that.

    I have been struggling with my weight for most of my adult lif and I would love to support you on your journey and I look forward to being accountable and getting support with that too.

    I have between 35 to 45 pounds to lose and enjoyed my first binge-free days in ages yesterday in a very long time. I am very happy about that and will do my best to make today day another binge-free day.

    I wish you all the best on your healthy living journey, have a wonderful day.

    Cheers

    I LIKE IT!!!! and I am ready... too many years of bad habits, thinking a diet will fix that. It never works, staying focus taking it one minute at a time.

    I am in. Everything you wrote sounds awesome. What I want is a lifestyle change, it is just going to take some time for me to relearn portions and how to eat. It is definitely a process!

    Hey! I'm up for it. Most of my MFP buddies are more of the long-run type of people that I really have fun sharing and motivating with. If you like you can add me up. :)

    Please add me your whole philosophy resonates acutely with me and I would be very grateful for support and motivation we could give each other reciprocally.

    I have done the whole "diet" game with little or no long term success. I would rather keep off 5 lbs then lose 20 and gain back 30. That's been the history. So...I'm in. Please friend request me and if any of you notice I'm not logging in feel free to message me and ask what the hell. ;) I need all the support and am willing to give the same.
