Newbie looking for accountability partners

Hello, I'm joining here because I am in serious need of some weight loss. I'm 5'6" and 221 lbs and am tired of being over weight. I've been battling with my weight for the past 6+ yrs and have a hard time sticking to any diets or exercise programs. I'm currently working out with the beachbody DVDs and doing some mini workouts of my own. I am also semi following the beachbody meal plans, but just not as strictly as I was the past few months. I have all the tools to lose weight, but I need more friends that are like minded for support. If you would like to support each other, let me know. I think this website is going to help me stay accountable because I can track my calorie intake/burn from my phone and home computer. If there is anything you'd like to know, just ask. Thanks for reading.

i will be happy to help you! I am a certified Zumba Instructor as well as fitness trainer. I work closely with my clients and also do monthly challenges from time to time. We support each other like crazy and completely understand the necessity of a support group!!! Especially as we hit the crazy holiday times - and insane feasting of our family gatherings. We've got to get through it together! My fitness program is not just about losing weight - it's learning a new way of life. My people go through alot of sacrifices, challenges, struggles, pain - but end up with: Achievement, confidence, strength, endurance, happiness and peace. We keep each other going!0

I am new here to so feel free to add me. I don't know if I am a good person for accountiability but so far MFP is holding me accountable because I let it post to my facebook and well that keeps me in line it seems and trucking along so far. I don't want the posts to stop and someone ask me "Did you give up already" so I push through and work on staying under my cal goal and working out as planned or making up for it when my 7mo old doesn't allow it
Good luck on your journey!!0 -

Hi!
I am also new here and looking for accountability partners. Since October 2010 I have lost 40lbs and need to lose about 40lbs more. Please feel free to add me and I would love to encourage you anyway that I can0 -
Thanks everyone for your responses. I have about 80+lbs I want to lose in the next year and am just having a hard time staying motivated and inspired to go. I have inspirational and motivational quotes posted around my house along with a pic of someone's abs that I would like to have. I think this site is going to be the biggest help to me cause I can post from home or my phone to track my meals and exercise. I think once I start seeing my eating habits it will help me open my eyes to what needs to be done. I did a meal planner and lost 10 lbs, but then got sick and gained it all back. So I already know I need to get my eating and exercising in check and I will be good to go, but its just so hard.
So here's to keeping me accountable and on target. I can and will lose this weight.0
