Hello, I’m new and looking for accountability friends

Hello. Just got my new Fitbit sense and trying to use it for motivation. Any suggestions would be helpful

Hi ladies, Id love to join in the accountability group. I just downloaded the app and I’m very new. Im 45 and have 10kg’s to lose. Im from Australia 🐨. I’d love to know how this will work? Do we just post our progress on this community page? Thank you ☺️

Hi everyone! Looks like there are a few of us this week that would like to ban together for support.

I’m looking for people to really hold me accountable and call out my excuses for what they are, not just the soft sided “you can do it” motivation.

I am a 51 y/o mom of two teens living in a small town in Northern California. I am utilizing 16/8 intermittent fasting, walk 45 minutes a day, calorie range 1200-1500 with a focus on increasing my protein intake. I recently started going to the gym with my daughter and I love it.

That is, until I sprained my knee Leaving a concert and the gym closed for remodeling. I couldn’t walk, work out and the excuses just snowballed from there. The gym opens back up on Monday and my daughter (a tenacious little thing) helps keep me on track.

I started at 251.9 last June and got down to 201 in April. Graduation, my dads passing, a few party atmosphere summer vacations and I lost sight of the big picture. I am back up to 219.8 and I’m putting a stop to my wishy washy motivation and would love a good strong group of people to rock this with. Who’s in?

New on here! from Canada looking for accountability and motivation friends or groups.

I'm 38 live on Canada. I have been on this weight lost journey since a teenager. I have over 100 pounds to lose to be in a healthy BMI. I am pre diabetic and was just referred for weight loss surgery:( I work from home and have a toddler. No support system I have put on over 60 pounds since having my child 3 years ago.

Feel free to add me

@Bellawow I’m glad to see you’re making some progress and being accountable to yourself. It’s really hard for me to keep my motivation strong, the only thing I ever do right is track my food honestly. I hope you have a great walk today. Stay hydrated and feel good about the food choices you make!

Hi @SBR1313 !! I too have been on this journey for most of my life. It was hard when my kids were little-little because they need so much from us. Ten years ago, I lost 85 pounds and managed to keep it off for over three years. I never wanted to embarrass them and be “the fat mom”, but my son’s senior night at football last year, I was the heaviest I’ve ever been, nearly 252 pounds. I refuse to walk the field for my daughter’s senior night this year.

@latonyasjustice My 17 year old daughter and I have started working out together, it’s great motivation having her as a partner. She’s also started doing intermittent fasting with me and asks more and more for nutritious meals. I have a long way to go, but I keep plugging along. Recently, my son has started tracking his food, switched out sweet tea for water, goes on long walks and has set a goal. It makes me happy to see them making some lifestyle changes all because I’ve taken some charge of my life. It’s amazing how much we influence them.

My motivation and dedication still waffles. I’d love to make some connections with others that are serious about the end goal, life long healthy living with a splash of decadence. People that cheer each other on and keep the motivation strong! Feel free to add me!

Hi everyone,
I am 51 and from BC, Canada. I am looking to lose 50 lbs. I live with chronic pain and mental health issues. Looking for some friends and accountability to get out walking again. Hoping to add mindfulness, meditation, yoga, serenity, and self-care into my life. Long road ahead but I see a small glimmer of hope when I get a nudge in the right direction.

I think getting a group together is a great idea! Easier to connect with.

How did everyone do today? What we’re your struggles? How about successes?

Good morning Ladies. Hopefully everyone got to add me back as a friend I sent requests a couple days ago. I did try to join your group Janice a couple days ago but never got anything to accept me in. I was thinking about maybe doing a FB private group or FB Messenger since it's easier to get in there and for notifications. I Love My Fitness Pal but the groups don't really work that great.

We can be accountable to each other or just reach out for support or just have friends on the journey with us.

Either send me a message or put something here so we can see if we can get something going.

I am on day 3 staying on track and this is amazing cuz I never make it this far. And I feel really good about going into the weekend and staying strong too. Let's kick butt ladies

@Bellawow i have Discord, but I’m baffled how to use it. You should give me a crash course how-to, lol

I went over my calorie range yesterday and missed my step goal by a hair. I’m going to do better today. My plans are to finish up my workout plan (I’m writing gym split work out plans) and to inventory what’s in my freezer so I can get a menu planned out for the week.

Otherwise, my day is going to be pretty mild

Hello 😊 I’m 35 and have 25-30lbs of fat to lose. I am doing Keto and IF. I’m looking for a buddy/buddies to help me stay on track with my diet. I’m hoping to connect at least once a week to discuss progress.

Hi Paige! I’m also doing IF, my 17 year old daughter just started it too, which makes meal time easier for planning, lol. I’ve recently lost 35 pounds, but still have a way to go. Please feel free to add me, I love being a part of an engaging support network!

I am not sure how this works. I would like to join a group for support. I am starting 16-8 IF today. My starting weight is 218 and I my goal weight is 160. I am 73 and active.

Hey guys. Feel free to add me too

Okay, so how does one get added? Been doing weight loss for yearrrrrrs! Maybe its time to be accountable!
