I’ve used this app before and it was so helpful! I would love to find a few buddies who we can just check in once or twice a day- pretty casual, no pressure if you can’t always. But I’m about 187 lbs and would like to first have a goal of 150, then see how I feel with that.

My main focus is mindful eating, more movement, and can anyone tell me where the buddy discussions are please?

    You might want to take a look at some of the challenge or accountability threads in these parts of the Community:

    https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/categories/motivation-and-support
    https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/categories/challenges

    There are a few in other parts of the Community, too, but they're the most concentrated in those areas. Read the intro post, see if it feels suitable for you. If there are special instructions for joining, that post will usually say what they are. That's a good way to get support, establish some self-accountability, and meet like-minded people.

    There are also threads here and there where people just share info about their daily workouts, what their meals were, and that sort of thing. That's another way to participate.

    Take a look around, and consider joining in: For me, participating in the Community helped me learn a lot, gave me good tips I could use while losing, and now helps keep my head in the game while maintaining. It's kind of a thing where the effort a person puts in affects what they get out of it, I think - at least that's been my experience.

    Best wishes

    Hi! I'd love to join for the check in! I'm 176lbs and goal is 160 to start then go from there, try 150 if I feel good about it. My priority is not overeating and eating less sugar :smile: Also, upping my daily steps because my job is very sedentary.

    Do you have a strategy already ? More exercise, small changes to your diet ?

    Hi. Could use a buddy to check in too. Have had success before here but that was years ago. I'm at my heaviest 210 and know I need to get back on track. Been struggling to loose, being gaining slowly.

    I just friend requested a couple of you. Looking for some friends to help keep me accountable and I'll try to help keep you accountable too.

    Hi- same here. It all sounds like we have similar goals. I’m in the high 170s now and would like to get back closer to 160, I’m a triathlete so work out a lot, but with that I get hungry too and balancing them can be tough.

    I’d love to join a group of women who have similar goals for the new year. I’m about 195 and aiming for 150.

    Hi Everyone

    I have used this app previously but have never engaged through any chats so this will be a first.

    I’m also looking for an accountability group. Im happily married with two teenage girls and have describe myself as pretty fit. But I want to improve. I have a simple process that I would suggest to use for the group and would be willing to take the lead. I’m not in the fitness industry and not trying to sell anything EVER. Just looking to engage with a small group and apply a process that I think will bring success to me and others. I guess you could also find me on FB if you needed to verify who I am. Anyhow, I will watch for replies and if there are any I will suggest to get started.
