Struggling to stick with it, accountability buddy please

Hi, I’m looking to lose 35 pounds & have turned to food as my unhealthy way to manage stress. I love yoga, walking & stationary bike for main exercise. Sugar is my struggle. If you’re looking for a support system, I would be happy to help each other.

    Hello. I’ve lost 73 lbs in the last 6 months but it is an up and down battle to stay motivated and moving forward. If y’all want an accountability buddy, I’m in. I have about 70-80 more lbs to lose.

    Hi, I’m looking for accountability buddies. Something like a forum thread where I can post how I’m going with weight loss goals and fitness goals and read about how others are going with their goals.

    I need an accountability partner too! I have started and stopped calorie counting and working out probably 100 times. I need to lose 60lbs. I am 5’6” and around 220. Let’s do it! Today was my day 1, staying at 1,600 calories and did my 30 minute work out.

    One day at a time…

    I’m 45 years old, 189 cm tall and I succeeded in losing some weight in 2021 and early 2022, down from 116 kg to 88 kg. However The last couple of months I’ve struggled with motivation and I’ve gained a few kilos. I’d like to set a weight loss goal again soon but for now I’m just trying to avoid binging on sugar, trying to avoid weight gain and trying to exercise regularly.

    Looking to get to shed an additional ~50lbs and would love to keep motivated with anyone really.

    Currently my main focus is changing to good food habits as apposed to implementing exercise.

    Im new too. I am also trying to figure out using the app. I have some questions about net carbs in my diary if anyone gets a chance. The net carbs are adding up to more on the atkins pkg. why would it show a negative number if I actually only had for example 5 net carbs. Shows -9? How? If the target is 20-25??? Help?
