Hi everyone! I’m just getting back into regular food tracking. I’ve got a little over 100 pounds to lose. I am looking for an accountability buddy. I would genuinely like to get to know some of you and help keep each other on track. If anyone is looking for a friend for accountability I’d love to chat.

    Hi! Count me in :) I've 60-70lbs to lose and would love an accountability buddy. I'd love someone I could check in with a few times a week. Will email later as about to leave for the dentist! Hope your day goes really well, Where do you live - I'm in Southern England

    Hey there, I am also looking for an accountability friend. I am 28, and started losing weight around 3 years ago. At my highest I was at 272, and I got down to 160. Over the last year though I have really struggled and am back up to 190. Ideally I would like to be 150. So, although I don't have 100 to lose right now, I have before, and still have a lot to lose. Message me if you'd like to chat more!

    Hi, I’m new to this and also looking for the same. The last few years the weight slowly crept up on me. Emotional and stress eating, I just made all the excuses. It was how I dealt with things. This year with lock down early in the year I ate the house down. Worked from home and never left the house. I knew I had really put on weight then as clothes started not fitting but wasn’t until I stood on the scales approximately two months ago I got a fright. Returned to the office and nothing fit me!! Briefly tried slimming world but didn’t end up sticking to it. The fright I got didn’t last and ended up back to my usual eating habits. I commute over an hour to work and my job is office based so I sit all day. By the time I get home I can’t find motivation to exercise or even cook properly. Too tired and I love to cook! I know exercise is key for me as well as healthy eating so definitely looking for a buddy to support and be supported :)
