Find your accountability twin!

Options
So you post your goals and find someone who has similar goals. They will be your accountability partner. You check in with each other weekly and update them on your progress and offer suggestions back and forth. If your accountability partner doesn't check in with you, then you check in with them and help keep them on track. Feel free to ADD ME as a friend -- I will be your facilitator and mentor throughout the next 15 weeks! LETS DO THIS!!

Age: 29
Height: 5'2"
Daily Calorie Goal: 1500
CW: 248
GW: 210 (Yes, my goal seems unrealistic; however, this is my July 19th goal! I would like to lose 38 pounds by my birthday! My expectation is to lose at least 20 pounds during the next 15 weeks, that would put me at 228!)

Preferred work-outs: Zumba and walking. I also attend the gym and workout on my upright bicycle. As of recently I have incorporated strength training.

    I'll give this a shot and see if I can find a partner.

    Age: 24

    CW: 205.6
    CGW: 192.6
    UGW: 175

    My challenge goal weight is 16 pounds less than my starting weight because the end date for the challenge is 16 weeks from when I joined. I would love to lose more than 1 pound a week (like this past week, yay 3 pounds!), but I want to make it a goal I can accomplish to boost my self esteem.

    Workouts: Running and strength training

    Anyone can feel free to add me as a friend!

    End Goal: I don't have an end goal in pounds... I want to be able to run for hours again! So ultimately that's my end goal, to get back to running.

    My workouts right now are heavy on cardio (kickboxing, circuit training). I do light lifting at home twice a week. Once this snow melts a bit I will be heading outside to run 3x a week!

    Preferred work-outs: I just completed the Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred and am starting Ripped in 30 tonight after work! I am also hoping to get started on my c25k program but I think I need to wait for the snow to clear up a bit! There's a gym about 40 mins from me that I want to check out called the Lithe Method. It features classes that are "Cardio, Cheer, Sculpt" and I'd love to get back to some of my high school cheer moves.

    Feel free to friend me if you think we might be twins (or if you just want a new friend!)
