I'm looking for someone to message back and forth and help keep each other on track everyday. I have some gym experience and I log my food religiously and honestly when I do. I have a habit of starting strong, but being too hard on myself and giving up if I slip up just a bit. I tend to have a "go big or go home" mentality in everything I do. It's time I ditch that all or nothing attitude and find balance to create a lifestyle I can maintain, rather than being on or off the diet/gym/bandwagon.

    I would love to have an accountability buddy. I am the exact same way. I go full throttle and if I slip up, everything just starts to spiral. I'm hard on myself, but I'm very forgiving of others and I'd love to be a motivator to someone else!

    Hi sarahbella5150 and others :) I also struggle with a "go big or go home" attitude. When I start anything, weightloss included, I feel like I need to do absolutely everything right all the time and I get discouraged when I can't. This time around I'm trying to be kinder to myself and stick to smaller goals that build on each other. I'd like to meet more people and build a better support group.

    Thought I would add, although this is a lofty goal, I am looking to lose 30 lbs by the end of June. Calorie goal 1420 per day. Exercise goal 5x/week. I am looking for someone to message back and forth, especially during times of intense cravings (if you struggle with that as well). Please feel free to add me!
