Hi there! I need a female buddy to keep me accountable. I am trying to do this again (yes, again!...ugh). I've lost weight before once 60 lbs. (nothing but running and elliptical) and another time 40 lbs. (light cardio and weight-lifting) I just keep going back to old ways and gained it all back plus some and this really stinks. I am currently at my all time highest weight. :(

I am an emotional/anxiety/stress eater and that's what gets the worst of me. :#:s:'(

I am hoping that finding a weight twin will keep me motivated. I don't know, perhaps seeing that somebody out there that has the same starting point and is heading toward the same goals will keep me motivated. Perhaps we can send each other pics of our meals and workouts. I just need to get this weight off and keep it off for lots of reasons...the most important of them all being my HEALTH! <3

Let me know if there's another girl out there with the same/similar goals.

TIA!

    Tia,
    I’m not sure I’m your twin, but it sounds like we’re close. This time, my weight crept up on me and I’ve never been this heavy before. Not even when I was pregnant. I’ve been struggling with my self esteem due to how uncomfortable I feel and how I look. I’ve got a good 60Ibs to go this time. I need this to be my last time. I’m also having some health issues that suck and hoping eating better might help.
    I would be open to having a buddy on this journey.

    Wow, thought I was reading about myself there for a minute! I’m 5’6” 215 and need to be 145-150. I’m turning 50 this year and have struggled for years on the losing and gaining cycle! I want to be healthier and fitter when my birthday rolls around. I’m also a big emotional eater and struggle especially in the evenings. If any of you that replied want to add me, we can start a group.

    Hi I also am looking for support and motivation. I find I do much better with friends to push me. If you want to friend me that would be helpful. Good luck either way with your fitness journey. Dawna

    Hello,

    I'm 216 with a goal weight of 150. I'm just getting back to MFP and have no support group. I'd love to be added as accountability partner or if we all decide to form a Road to 150 group that would be cool too!

    Love and light and happy healthy journey!

    I’m new here and oh my stars! I’m your twin as well! I need help with accountability. I’m a professional stress/anxiety eater! I don’t want to feel alone in this anymore. I quickly gained weight during a difficult time and that’s just compounded things. I’m 203 and I’d love to be 160. That’s still too much for my height but I’d be thrilled to see 160. I’m so encouraged to have found y’all! Thank you deniseg31 for your post! You rock!

    I could be your weight twin as well SW 225, GW 160. A difference is that I’ve never seen myself under 210 since childhood, so 160 looks good on paper but I have no idea what it’ll look like on my 5’10 skeleton. I’ve lost 80# so far and been able to maintain the loss, I’m looking forward to figuring out how to eat for 160. Feel free to add me if you’d like to, I’m all for collecting like minded MFP friends for support!

    Hi,

    My SW is 240 - heaviest I have ever been :( it’s been a bad year of stress and emotional eating coupled with deaths in the family and a *kitten* job situation. GW is 150. No more excuses.

    Thanks for adding me! I’m so ashamed of myself for getting to this point BUT I am encouraged that I have found this app with good people like you to be on this journey with.
    I used to greet the new faces at our local gym. I haven’t been in over a year and a half. Now when I get the courage to go back, I’m the new face. I’m praying I have the courage to go tomorrow and hopefully do the elliptical for 20 min. I used to do an hour. I have got to get ahold of myself. My self esteem is in the toilet!
    Thanks to emotional eating I am 5’2” and 203!!!
    I obviously need to weigh probably no more than 130 BUT I’m shooting for 160 at this time.

    The group is called kicking pounds to the curb I think, the way you access it is by going to community, scrolling all the way down, clicking into groups or your groups, then searching the name of the group. I just learned how to join this one
