@1rockingrobin, unfortunately, I personally think accountability, motivation, and discipline are individual sports, not team sports. IOW, I need to find my own accountability, motivation, discipline. No one else can deliver those things to me.

It helps me to be self-accountable, though, if I participate on threads here in the community that help me reinforce my individual, personal practices. Exactly what works differs by individual, but one thing I do is post workouts in this thread:

That's not the only possibility, there are lots of options here, and the key is to find the tactics that help *you*.

My advice would be not to dilute your personal power by off-loading responsibility to others. You are the one who can achieve your goals, and others watching you do that may be inspired by you (family, friends, even strangers on MFP).

In my view, that's the direction the energy flows: You find *your power* to accomplish goals, and that *may* inspire others. You may find others to inspire you, too . . . but IMO, my accountability, willpower, discipline, consistency - that's all about me controlling me, taking responsibility for me. YMMV.
