Needing Accountability Partners...

in Introduce Yourself
Hello! My name is Rhonda. I am 37 yrs old and have been here done this... Meaning, I do well for a while then life gets in the way or I just get plain LAZY and fall backwards. I used to be very dedicated to MFP, logging everything then disappeared. I have lost quite a bit since I turned 37 but have to much more to go. I did Plexus and I absolutely love it but am at a point where it's no longer in the budget. Besides, I need to be accountable and do what's best for this body God gave me.

I would like to get hooked up with people who are ready to push as well as be pushed. I believe this works both ways. I know God has big plans for my life and I want to live long enough to see them fulfilled. And I want to help others do the same.

SO, with all that said, I need partners who are not going to let me fall to the way side. I'm looking to help others as well as myself. I just have to get started again and reallly reallllly :wink: need the push.

If this sounds like an adventure you are up for, let me know :happy:

Thanks and have a great day!

    Feel free to add me :) I log consistently. Opening your diary to the public helps keep you accountable.

    Me too! I can relate to everything you said so much that I created a Facebook group for me and some of my friends to motivate each other. I am brand new to this, so I could use all the motivation I can get!

    Add me on!!! I too have a tricky time getting weight off. That's why I'm on here. I'm starting over because since the fall last year I ended up with hypothyroidism and never picked up on the symptoms. And my epilepsy doesn't make it easy for me to lose on my own, either. My diary is always open for view, so if you add me on and there's days when I've had just too much of something I shouldn't have eaten, please feel free to scold me!!! LOL :laugh:

Feel free to scold and offer alternatives! Just remember the oreo affect..lol.. you know postive, negative, positive! Just Kidding,..well kinda :laugh: I have thick skin so bring it on!!

    Good luck Rhonda, and welcome to MFP! I find motivational friends are the difference in logging and not logging. I'm on daily, with an open diary ready for critisism. Anyone can feel free to add me-as long as you promise to keep me on track as well!!

    So, one thing I have noticed with the open diaries is....there are a lot of ppl who don't tally their water intake. Is this a forgot to add thing or is this a not impotant thing?

    I do very well with my water intake, in fact it's the easiest part for me! It's the rest that is the issue.

    I have an issue with my legs/feet burning/stinging with walking/running for long periods of time, and my feet eventually go to sleep. Being a nurse I know there are "medical" reasons that this could be, but I am in pretty good health except my weight issue. I bought some new shoes based on advise from physical therapist (Brooks, thank GOD they were on sale, geez) and they are amazing- feel like I am walking on the clouds,,,BUT the burning/stinging is still happening sometimes...

    Any thoughts?

    Your story sounds so familiar! Feel free to add me as well. I appreciate all the feedback and love to help out in any way I can as well. (I have had the same issue with my legs when walking and recently got Brooks as well - it'd be interesting to see/hear what others have to say about that)

    Feel free to add me in too! I was doing this on my own for about 6 months until one day someone asked if they could friend me - which I accepted and since then I find that I'm more apt to log in. It helps that someone else can see my diary and offers encouraging words - like when I started logging every day or when I lose a pound or two. I feel more accountable because it's out there.

    I've been going up and down with my weight for the past 7 months, but steadily going down - 16 lbs so far since starting MFP, a total of 20 lbs in a full years time. I know if I would just add exercise to my life I'd lose more weight, but i HATE exercise! Its mostly sweating....I'm going to buy me a bicycle and start riding (living in Chicago it might not be until June!) when the weather is nice.

    Lets be "Pals" and encourage each other!

    I'd love to be your accountability partner! I need it as well since I bounce back and forth. I just got back on yesterday after a 7 month absence. I have a long ways to go and the encouragement on here is the only thing giving me hope right now.
