Anyone out there want to buddy up? Looking to support and be supported with a buddy. I want to lose a stone (14lbs).

    Me too, but I need 2 stones, to be my usual weight.

    Seems so hard now.
    3 things:
    1. Exercise
    2. Food, calories or whatever
    3. Water

    I do pretty well most of the time. I know when I lose big, it is w
    Lots of exercise. Knee injury, work, blah, blah. Weight makes
    Everything harder. Drags down my life.

    I would be an accountability buddy.

    Can we limit it to 10 to 12 people or so. Groups don't really work for accountability when you get hundreds or thousands.

    Any idea how we could get his to work? post weekly (daily?) weights like some other groups or just add each others via the app and post updates there? :smiley:

    Hey! I want to lose about 14 pounds too. I am a mom, and I got to comfortable with fast food because it was easy. I wasn't living a healthy lifestyle either. I've got the exercise part down, but it's the food part I need help with. :( I do good for a couple days then I ruin all the progress with binge eating or emotional eating. So may I please be added to the group if there is still room? Or everyone just add me. I post daily and am on daily.

    I don't know where you all are based? I'm in Brussels, Belgium, so I think a different time zone to most of you :-) Yesterday was pretty good as I cycled, but didn't loose much weight- here is my fitbit info for those who use it and wish to add me https://www.fitbit.com/user/36SVVM

    I think the ACCOUNTABILITY key is to set a daily/weekly goal of exercise, water, food (calories, carbs, WW, or whatever you do).

    Since I am on vacation (always something, but in Rockies, hopefully lots of hiking, feeding family and kids, others in control), beginning tomorrow, mine is a bit less stringent this week.
    Also, I may not have a signal all of the time.

    Mon through Sunday
    1. Exercise. My usual. Average 45 minutes day, Mon through Sun.
    2. Food. Estimate calories, post. 2 or 3 meals, enough to hike and have blood sugar controlled. Don't eat just because others are. Smaller portions.
    Don't eat junk I dont even care about
    3. Water. 6 to 8 glasses.
    Limit wine to 1.5 small glasses.
    4. Post and read at least every other, if possible.
