Hello. 👋 My name is BK. A little over a week ago I got a brand new reason to get fit. I don't want to go into too many details about it. What I am looking her for is either 1 or more people to hold me accountable. Also any tips, tricks, etc. on being healthy. I want to be physically fit & able to defend myself.

Feel free to ask me questions. I look forward to getting to know people 😁😊

    I am looking for the same. I have struggled for a few years myself. My main issue is holding myself accountable.

    Hey hey and welcome, whatever your motivation, I hope you are ok. I am back after losing a ton of weight and getting fit, and then life got the better of me. But the one thing I did last time when I had so much success was to take up a martial art - for me it was Taekwondo. At the time it was scary for so many reasons, I was 100lbs overweight lady in her late 30s - what the hell was I doing with all these fit people in a dojang? But I LOVED it - it inspired me to want to lose weight and do other exercise so I could be better and faster. Wonderful for my confidence, and great for self defence. I made it as far as provisional black belt before life intervened. My current mini-goal is to get back to a basic fitness level where I can make it back to TKD class and survive the warm up LOL.

    Right now my biggest goals are to loose weight (be about 130lbs) and be able to defend myself. All my weight is around my midsection.

    Not sure what an accountability partner consists of. Could you please explain it a little further? Thank you.

    I, too, would like an accountability buddy. I find that I often get in my own way (especially when my depression flares), but I don't have anyone who understands my newfound desire to reclaim my health.

    An accountability partner is someone who holds you responsible to your goals. They check in and provide encouragement/insight/advice when the goal isn't met.

    I sent you a friend request. Right now I'm going through a beast of depression. Don't have anyone either who understands what I'm going through or why I am doing it. Maybe we can help each other.

    Hi all! I’ve been an active my fit pal for a few yrs. I came from Noom. and now I’m here trying to stay the course and regain my health. It’s a mountainous journey for sure, we can support each other.. I’m currently eating a doctor recommended diet of 1400 calorie, low carb ish (>100g) low sugar, gluten free, low dairy Mediterranean style diet, exercise for me is intermittent, I could use help sticking to exercise goals but my diet has been on point lately 👌 I log in daily but sometimes can’t find the time to log meals. I don’t much enjoy cooking but I like variety and I eat organic, grass fed, free range, wild caught,and local as much as possible. I have some health issues I’m working on. Hoping for something better than disease management. Well anyway that’s a little about my journey so far. Friend me 🤗
