whole accountability partners needed

Options
Judgement free help! I'm looking for people who need help with all accountability just like me. Food, exercise, and the emotional as well. I'm going to be 40 in two weeks. This is a life style change for me, as well as for weight loss and health. I figure to reach a goal and keep it off it is a four part process happening at the same time. Food, exercise, emotional, and mental. I'll start! My big mental issue with going to gym is i feel like people are staring at me, i don't like it. So to work on this i'm going to slowly work into jogging at the track.

    Hello ladies, I'd love to be part of the group to help push and be pushed. I'm not new to the journey but I still have a long way to go and want to keep myself motivated. I do have a bit of advise from what I have found, at the gym don't let others bother you... I've actually found the total opposite reactions. I have people watch me , but weeks later will come up and tell me I'm an insperation. You never know who your encouraging so just do it for you.

    Not really comfortable with it but I joined a weight loss competition with my daughter at the local YMCA, which starts today thru March. I've belonged to the gym for years but never actually use it I figure the easiest way to change that is to just jump in and see what happens. Could definitely use the extra motivation from others though, please count me in!

    I work with special needs adults, they use the YMCA a lot. I love the track. When I'm working with them, I think about jumping on the machine next to them. Then my dear of being stared at kicks in. I do walk with some of the others though

    I just bought this nifty thing for lunches, but I'm going to use it With my other meals to for portion control. It comes with 2 half cup containers, 1 cup and a half container, and a sandwich container- 2 cup. It all snaps together and comes with a cooler piece that snaps on too. I think it's going to help. Plus I have a fitness tracker that helps keep me honest
