Accountability Buddies?

My weight is a freaking yo-yo! I am forcing myself to actually follow through with my goals. I need friends going through this same song and dance to help my motivation and urge me to stay on track. Any takers? : )

Been there, done that, bought the tee shirt... each time, I lose about 30 lbs (still far from my goal weight), maintain that for a month or two, then put it all back on. This time, I'm having problems going in the down direction; I can't get a grip on my appetite and want snacks at night.
Hang in there, stay consistent and be persistent... good things will come your way!4 -
I could use an accountability buddy too! Sounds so familiar, losing the weight then putting it right back. I'm closer to my goal than I was at the beginning of the year but have put some weight back on in the last few weeks and having trouble finding the motivation.2

Add me! Im back after losing 60 pounds but then gained it all back over the last few years. Just turned 30 so im back and ready to lose it again3

I'm working on losing the 30 I've gained in the past year! I'd really like to lose my weight and finally maintain it!4

Exactly what I need right now! About 8 years ago I lost 86lbs and over the last 6 years after losing my mom unexpectedly I gained it all back and then some. I am back down about 40 right now but I am far from my goal and going to be turning 50 this year and I want to at least have the feeling that I am staying on track and on a healthy path.3

Gonna follow, let’s crush these goals!2

We can do it!1 -
Count me in! I can most certainly use an accounta-buddy!
I'm not new to myfitnesspal, though, have gained the weight that I lost back. It'd be cool to get more active friends on this app.
PS: When sending me a friend request, please introduce yourself and remind me where we've interacted, or if you've read this post. I've been receiving random friend requests lately, and it's been hard to filter through bots or actual humans, lol.1 -
Feel free to add me, I've been working on losing the pandemic weight I had put on in the last year2

I've been on MFP for 9 years. There should be a roller coaster named MFP, because I swear I've been on it!! Started again in 2021 following a year off to nurse a nagging disc injury that exercise exacerbated. It still hurts, but with lots of core work and slowly ramping up the exercise intensity, I know I can do it! I'm down 10 so far - 10 more to feel good in my clothes again, 20 more to need new clothes, and 30 more to meet the goal weight I've been after for 9 years, but never break the plateau.3

Totally understand that and I can wholeheartedly relate!0 -
Feel free to add me. I can talk heavy lifting, kettlebells, yoga, running, and hating vegetables. 1

Starting over for hopefully the last time. I’ve got a long way to go and I’m learning to take it one day at a time. Starting weight also my heaviest 286

Height 5’ on a good day lol
Looking for friends who are on a similar journey. I’m in it for the long haul. Trying to exercise 5 days a week. I do well with low carb or dirty keto. I have food sensitivities so I go by what works with me. I like fasting but it can send me into a binging fit so concentrating on calories and working out for now. I’m a good cheerleader too. Definitely love to spread positive vibes. 💜 Good luck 🍀

Feel free to add me. Accountability friends are helpful. The pandemic has been hard on everyone, but at least we're working on trying to stay healthy!1

My weight is up and down too! Been 50lbs heavier and I think 10lbs lighter (for about 2 seconds lol) than my current weight. Sometimes I feel mentally drained and some days I celebrate my NSVs. Would love to have a community to draw inspiration and strength from and vice versa. Let's do this!3

Been working with a health coach since Jan 2020 and seriously working out regularly since Oct 2020 (weight lifting & zumba). Only lost 5-8 pounds and it yoyos. The main reason, I know, is because I have a hard time being consistent and sticking to meal prepping and not stress eating. Goal is to ultimately lose about 40-50lbs. Would love accountability buddies so feel free to add me!3

Hey I'm new to mfp side of things but only because at this point I've ran out of options. So here for accountability!4

I'm starting over again, too. Close to my heaviest weight (again) and I NEED to get it off. Would love to find some folks to help me keep motivated!2

That could be my story. Friend request sent!1 -
I'm not exactly sure how to serve a friend Friday but I'll figure it out! I'm a current graduate student and bt the pandemic and stress from school I've really let my health go. But I just left my ex and am motivated and focused to get back on track! I miss feeling better and going for long hinges and runs without dying at the end... I'm here and focused with you! Is also love since positive and motivated people to do this journey with!!3

I need an accountability partner so bad! Someone who wants to check in with each other daily to see how food and exercise went.
