Anyone want accountability partners?

Just starting out, and I know I'm gonna need people to help keep me on track and I can't be the only one! I'm 24 years-old 5'1, and 175 lbs wanting to go down to 130 lbs. Right now my allowed caloric intake is at 1500, so I might change loosing 1.5 lbs a week to trying to lose 1 lb a week... not sure yet. I don't really feel comfortable talking to friends and family members about my weight loss. They either tell me I don't need to do it, or become overbearing, watching every bite I take. Not good for me.

So let me know if you want an accountability partner without judgment and only encouragement because that is what I want as well.

    Feel free to add me. I'm a little older than you ;) at 42 but we are the same height. I am currently 152.5 but started in the 160's. I'm trying to get back into making eating healthy and exercising my life style again. I just challenged myself to a 21 day fitness challenge that I hope I can stick to.

    I would love to be partners! I'm 29, mommy of 1, 5'0" and 178.8 pounds as of today! Way too much fat on my tiny body! I don't feel comfortable talking to my mom about it because she's very harsh and criticizes me and my husband, while he says he's proud, also says I don't need to lose, although I know he's just trying to be nice. We are pretty similar in height/weight so it would be perfect! Add me if you want!

    Actually, I could use some judgement. . . . :)
  • I'm 30, 5'5 and looking to drop a good 30 lbs, but one step at a time! I'm not great at keeping up to date on the journal, but I'd love to find someone to message with on a regular basis to keep each other on track!

    Beware, and ignore, the haters. They are here. I am not one of them.

    Add me if you want. I log daily and my wife is doing WW (4 weeks in now) so I am getting some new food ideas. I just restarted my account due to all the new foods my wife is making me try. I have been around for over 2 years now.

    Count me in! I'm a 41 year old mother of 3 (21, and a set of 3 year old twins) 5'3" 199 pounds.. Within the last year I've lost about 50 lbs and recently put back on 10, I definitely could use some accountability partners. I want to loose about 30 pounds.

    Anyone can add me--I need some regular folks. I looked through my friends' list and quite a few haven't logged in for more than a year. I'm just now getting back into it. I gave birth to a beautiful daughter six months ago, and gained all of my weight back.

    I'm 32, 6' tall, and I need to lose 90+ pounds.

    I can take judgement, as long as it's not baseless.

    I'll be an accountability partner if you like. We have somewhat similar goals. :)
  • Hello! I agree with everybody, YFP is a great website! I've been in and out and recently restarted with a more faithful tracking of my meals and exercise habits. In the past I never tried having accountability partners, so this could be a good chance!
    Feel free to send a friend request.
    My goal is to loose around 9 to 10 lbs.
