Looking for someone to help keep me accountable for my weight. My family says they are supporting me but they are not going through this with me.

    Why not come to terms with that you're only accountable to yourself, just as you're losing weight for yourself, eating less and moving more, yourself?

    Hey Tammy. I understand completely. My wife is incredibly supportive, but as far as accountability, it doesn't feel quite right to ask her to be the "gatekeeper" if you know what I mean. Let me know if you need anything.

    you have to be accountable for yourself. no one else can make you do anything or hold you accountable. and it will get old people telling you what you did or didnt do. trust me.if you want to do this you have to want to do it.you have to be all in.

    Ok everyone guess I must have used the wrong word. "Accountable." No I don't need a babysitter. Looking for someone doing the same journey that we can chat about how the week went, vent about what may have triggered an emotional eating moment. Someone to say hey great job.

    I'd be happy to join you on your journey! i've already lost 14 lbs and would like to lose 10 more. I log every day and my diary is open. I feel like having friends on here and logging daily has kept me true and honest to myself. I also used to snack at night, but when I complete my diary after dinner i know i am now DONE! Having friends helps keep me accountable, I mean how weird would that look if I completed my day and then ate more food LOL? Anyways, feel free to add me!
