Someone to be accountable to!

Options
I'm pretty new to all of this, and I'm having a tough time sticking to my fitness and healthy eating routine. I really need someone to be accountable to! I need to lose just under 100 lbs to be where I want, but around 50 or 60 to be in the healthy range. I'd really like to get there by next summer, so if anyone is willing to be my workout/motivational buddy, I'd really appreciate it!

    I notice I do alot better when I log on daily at least once. So- I used to not add friends and kinda be on my my own but, it really helps to have people behind you who are doing what you are doing. Being healthy and fit is hard when every time you turn around there are obstacles and temptation..I know for me alot of the people I know are just eating whatever and fitness is not a common topic so coming on here and getting a constant dose of healthy advise, healthy ideas and keeping my goal in the front of my brain really helps. Best of Luck!!

    I'm new here, too. This is my 3rd day, and having all these wonderful people around going through the same thing has been so great for me! My first 2 days were sorta ho-hum, but today all this motivation kicked in and I did 90 situps so far. I've still got more exercising to do today, but I'm happy that I at least started!! I know how you feel about needing someone to be accountable to. I need the same thing. I don't really have a specific person, so I'm kind of using this site in general. It's helping so far because I see what everyone else is doing, so I feel I have to get off my butt. However, I don't have anyone who will be disappointed if I don't do anything, other than me...
