Hi! I am a 21y/o non-binary (AFAB if that matters, it might just because it means my metabolism is slower) person. I am currently 255lbs and I'm 5'8". My goal is to reach 199 by mid-December.
Here's the thing: I am a very competitive person. I'm wondering if anyone, in addition to being accountability buddies, would like to compete to reach our goals. It would be a healthy and friendly competition, and I think it might be a fun motivator if you are also competitive and looking to drop some pounds. Any takers?

    31 year old trans guy here. I'm down for a friendly competition! Might help kickstart me off my butt and into exercising and eating more thoughtfully again. Currently 274 lb and about the same height (5' 7.5"). I will likely be getting bariatric surgery over the summer, though. If so, it's likely not a fair competition past that. It looks like your goal is about 1.5lb a week. Maybe a 10lb goal by mid-May?

    I'd be up for that! I'm 65kg and looking to reach 75kg whilst making new PBs along the way

    How do you want to go about it? Daily exercise check-in, weekly weigh-in? Through message or here? You're welcome to add me.

    Is there any way to make some kind of group chat if I add you both?

    I'm not sure if they do group chat but you can create private groups. If I can friend you both, I'll see if I can set one up and send an invite.

    Is it too late to get in on this?
    I was at 268 lbs this morning.
    Short term goal is 250 by July. Long term is 200lbs.
    I'm a 5'10 CIS male but over 50 so I feel that levels the metabolism playing field a bit.
    Fair warning though...I've been tracking at 2lbs/week rate since Feb., so you'll have to bring your A game!

    Oh ok sorry! I had thought maybe you missed it because I saw that they weren't in the group. It's a good thing you admin the group because I miss notifications constantly lol

    Hey guys,

    Is it too late to get on this? F, 286lbs, have restarted this many times and hoping this is the last. I definitely do better when there's a bit of competition, so would love to join if possible!

    Also figured out how to make you a group leader too, SJ, so you can invite folks or add topics if you see stuff before I do.
