    Nice to meet you, Maria. Letā€™s do this!
    I have about 70 more pounds to lose to reach my goal. Iā€™ve lost 10 lbs this month but I feel like Iā€™ve already hit a plateau. I know that sounds crazy as Iā€™ve only been on this latest get fit journey for a month, but every time the scale doesnā€™t move for several days at a time I get discouraged. I would be happy to be accountability partners on this journey to a new healthier life. Congrats on getting to go to France. Thatā€™s awesome! My goal is to also be down 30-pounds total by end of May (my birthday). We can do this!

    I need to lose about 40 pounds. I need accountability. Iā€™m at a plateau, only losing 7 pounds before a stand still!

    May I join the accountability friendship squad?

    I'm trying lose 1.5-2.2lbs per week myself. For the foreseeable future.

    (Began journey at 234 trying to eventually one day get down to 145-155 range)

    I'm down to about 207 now.

    My food diary is also public to friends!

    Absolutely! Our weights and goals are pretty similar. I began (again) Jan 1st at 230.6 lbs. As of today I weighed in at 221.5 lbs (slight gain from earlier this week). My goal weight is 150 lbs by end of 2022. Iā€™ll send you a friend request!

    I feel the same. My goal for this week is to increase my water intake to see if I can break my current plateau.

    @sparks9777 For me logging every single thing I consume was a big motivator to not eat as much and to eat healthier. Seeing all those carbs and calories building up and realizing they are all going to my <insert problem body area> helped me a lot.

    Good morning, Iā€™m Joy. I am starting this journey today at 193. Iā€™m looking for accountability because itā€™s too easy to tell myself ā€œ one day doesnā€™t matterā€, and all the sudden one day turns into one year.

    @watsjo02 Welcome! I think weā€™ve all been there at some point! Logging everything you consume is a great way to help hold yourself accountable. Iā€™m personally working on increasing my water intake and exercising more. Iā€™m happy to be fitness pals.

    I would love to join the group. Looking to get on track and lose 20-30 before summer.
    Does MFP have any group chat/message options? I feel like that would be a good way to keep in touch and provide daily motivation. Something like a Facebook group chat. Anyone interested in this?

    Took a break but back on track. Worked out consistently in January and focused more on my eating. Letā€™s do this!!

    Feel free to add me. To be honest I donā€™t use MfP to log my food but I use it to go on the boards to look for inspiration, new workouts, recipes, etcā€¦. Starting weight was 284, currently as 194. Goal is 145. Getting married in October :smiley:

    I'll join this! I'm hoping to lose 20kg by June, and another 20kg by December - I'm really good for a month, but then I slack off šŸ˜£

    Hi everyone. Iā€™m in the same boat, weighing 222 now, losing 20+ by May. My first long term goal is 170. Then I will reset. But Iā€™ve been up and down this rollercoaster so many times.

    Iā€™ve started by reducing carbs, tracking net carbs and calories. My doctor stated I have to get my key bloodwork stats DOWN. Iā€™m pre diabetic. No way!!!
    Iā€™m here for support too.
    Letā€™s do this.

    I would love an accountability friend! I've been on MFP before, and lost about 30lbs before letting life get in the way. I need to lose a good 30lbs in the near future so that I don't have so much strain on my joints, but I also have an end goal of about 150lbs or so. Let's be friends! Anyone else that sees this post, feel free to friend me if you have similar goals and/or want some accountability. :)

    At some point in the next week I am going to go back and send friend requests to everyone in this group...I am not really looking to drop weight, as much as lose inches around my mid section, but to do one i need to do the other I would think....I have a pretty strong workout routine but have the hardest time controlling what I eat...I feel like I'm at a place where I am working out just to maintain my current eating habits so I'm giving MFP another shot....I would love to help motivate and be motivated, as well as maintain accountability with all of you....feel free to friend me if I don't send one first...i also like the idea of group type messages on here if there is one to join let me know...
