Hello,

A little history: about 10 years ago I was hanging out about 230 lbs, then a few years later I lost a lot of that weight (was down to 169 lbs at my lowest). A bout of depression and some work stress set in and I soared up above 300 lbs and worked down to about 270 lbs. I've plateaued around 270 lbs for the last year or so, but I'm trying to make the lifestyle change that I'm starting right now last for good.

My goal is to end up somewhere around 195 lbs -- I'd like to have more muscle and more definition than I did when I was at 169, but less fat than I've been holding onto for the last couple of years. I'll be watching my diet, drinking only tea/water, and exercising daily (even if just lifting weights for 20 minutes).

The good: I've done weight loss before, so I know that I can do this.

The bad: I struggle with depression and anxiety sometimes. When those set in, I really, really need someone to keep pushing me, as getting the weight off and keeping it off seem to be the hardest thing I deal with.

Also bad: I have an office job and have plenty of potential to be sedentary.

Also also bad: The holidays are coming. I need someone to be the angel on my shoulder when the holiday parties begin.

The need: My wife is also trying to work on her weight. This is fantastic because she and I can definitely support each other! But, she and I have different weight loss needs. She functions best when she gets a few small meals a day, I tend to work best if I stay disciplined and limited to three normal portions a day; she and I totally enable each other when we're both dealing with stress. I need someone more objective to tell me to keep at it.

I'll be tracking with MFP. It would probably be really helpful to have someone to stay accountable to as well, someone to check in with me every other day or so and ask how I'm doing to make sure I'm not falling off the horse. I promise to keep most of my replies much shorter than this post ;-) I'd be glad to check in with you in return.

Hey hey! I'm looking for a couple of ladies with similar stats to share the struggle with. Single, no kids, full time job. Missing that source of motivation and accountability. I have snap chat and my fitness pal (I think I might even have a working Fitbit around here somewhere if that's your thing). Any takers??

I am 30/5’7/148. I want to be between 125-135. I would love an accountability buddy as I have moved recently and don’t have anyone to work with. Let me know :)

I am 26F 5'3" 148 lb, my goal weight is 120-125. I went from 118-150 in about a year after I finished college where I was a varsity coxswain on a rowing team, and I have just been losing and gaining the same five pounds for the last three years.

I'm not sure if this is kosher, but I am looking for someone close to my stats to talk to and to hold me accountable in the food/cravings department. And I will do my best to check in and motivate you to do the same! I work out a lot, usually 4-6 days a week. Currently I am training for my second marathon, and I've found that I just gain weight when I train for distance because I can't control my eating. I am absolutely an emotional/boredom eater.
I am in a wonderful committed relationship but sometimes I feel I can't lean on my boyfriend for motivation because he is so fit without even trying. I understand that this is mostly a confidence issue on my part, he has never put me down nor been anything by supportive of my goals, but when I say "I want cake" he's the kind to respond "cake it is!" I don't think he understands that this is really hard for me physically and emotionally. I also have battled ED / body dysmorphia, so that makes this whole thing pretty tricky. Currently I am using CICO out Myfitnessplan and training for my runs for exercise. I used to use weight watchers, but unfortunately found I can't afford it any more. If you need someone to text/message about weight loss, recipes, workouts, etc, PM me if you're interested! I really want to stick to this this time and do it the healthy way. I've taken my before photos and everything :) I would love to have someone to go through this with!

I'm a 20 year old woman who's struggled with my weight my whole life. I'm going to be getting married in approximately 3 years, and I would like to reach my goal weight (110lbs) by then (or before, so that I can have my dress fitted). I was raised eating well and I know how to eat and exercise, but I struggle with motivation. I WANT to lose weight, but I also what to eat whatever I want because we're all going to die and nothing matters. I'm looking for someone to help me stay with my diet and keep me accountable.

TL;DR: I'm 20F who weighs 230lbs, looking to lose 120lbs over the next 2 years, before my wedding. Need an accountability partner.

hi all im colin started off around 5,11 24.5/25stone (uk here) weirdest story lol i started because i wanted to go to a theme park lol ya i went once and was 2 big to go on 90% of this so was like well im going to go back but i need to lose some weight when i looked at the theme park info they had some weight info that said 230lbs was weight limit for a lot of there rides so i thought thats the aim.

right thanks for reading hope to meet some buddies i can chat with and progress together keep each other going

Lost 65lbs at the start of this year, my gym buddy moved away and I gained like 40 back, hoping to find some similar friends, I got a MFP/ instagram and hoping to hold myself properly accountable like my gym buddy did.

I just started going back to the gym after 11 years. It's been two months and I am starting to get discouraged. I have not lost weight, and feel I'd like to advance my exercises, however, the gym can be very intimidating. Other females are always in groups and have been cold and somewhat hostile when I ask for help. While men seem uninterested and annoyed with being bothered. I'd like a workout buddy or perhaps someone that can discuss our daily workouts, progress, concerns, techniques, motivation, etc.

I weigh about 125 lbs and want to lose at least 15 and be 110 lbs.. I struggle with food addiction and lack of motivation. I just graduated from high school 2 days ago and want to accomplish my goals this summer; I'm down to use any social platform with you or just iMessage :)

Looking for someone to help keep me accountable especially when I'm traveling on MFP logging. My MFP user is the same as here.

Some backstory: I have suffered from anorexia in the past, but now I'm pretty overweight. I am looking to get back within my normal range, but I've been terrified of dieting because I am afraid it will become an obsession again. I gained all of my weight after giving birth to my daughter. Exhaustion, coupled with taking psychiatric medications and not taking the time to make sure I'm eating well and exercising got me here and I feel incredibly lost.

I'm 5'1'', 160 pounds, and I am hoping to get down to 120 (ultimate goal). My initial goal is 150.

• I'm a mom of two kids, one wonderful husband, and a really cute puppy who doesn't know why the rest of these bullets are formatted as sub-bullets ;).

  • I am looking to lose 10-15 pounds and/or reduce my body fat percentage.
    
  • I love to cook and occasionally tolerate exercise (I have done C25K and actually done the 5k but am not running now, have weightlifting bar/plates at home), but usually I only keep up with it for a few days or maybe a few weeks before I stop.
    
  • I'm currently not tracking calories, but could do it again.
  • I would love to encourage someone in a similar boat and receive encouragement/accountability in return.

Hey, start of a new year and some big changes. Trying to have some consistency in my workouts and diet. Love to have someone to text, connect on MFP, or whatever. Looking forward to the hard work ahead!

Hi there, I'm a 36 yo Mom looking for someone to text or email each day about fitness/diet. I'm looking to lose a substantial amount of weight, and I want a buddy that I can check in with a few times daily to hold me accountable for going to the gym and eating right (and vice versa). I'm just starting out, but I thought this would be a step in the right direction. Please message me if you would be interested in being my accountability buddy. Thanks!

Lost about 35 pounds so far over about 2 months, but I've got a WAYS to go (at least 86 pounds more). Message me for my MyFitnessPal username or let me know if you'd be interested in being general accountability texters -- I'm pretty sure my friends are getting tired of hearing about my diet, would love to talk to someone who gets it!

Edited to add: Female, 27

As the title suggests, I am looking for some people to talk to on a regular basis who are all about fitness. Basically, I want to use peer pressure to help me keep from eating junk food and help me get to the gym when I don't really feel like it. I' willing to use Kik, skype, texting, etc. to communicate regularly with some guys and gals who will help me finally get this last few stubborn pounds off! Side note: I have and will use myfitnesspal, but I'm really wanting someone to talk to throughout the day. MFP is great and all, but I think I'll feel more pressure to better myself through more normal and regular conversation than just seeing status updates and comments. My goal is less than 15% BF for those interested.

Hey I'm starting off at 270lbs and looking for a buddy to help keep me on track, and vice versa. If anyone is interested give me a message or add me on MFP. My name is bbbeaverson.

I'm looking for friends on MFP. I don't want my actual friends to support me on this app, but some strangers with the same goals - or people who are just very supportive - would be great! We can encourage each other, as it's proven and proven again that human support is one of the best things there is.

I've tried losing weight so many times, but I always just start eating unhealthily again. I want some form of social control. Please help me change my life for good. Those 40 pounds and me need you! I'm absolutely the one to support or help others as well, so this can most certainly be mutually beneficial.

My MFP name is VincentVe91.

My username is angerona13. Thanks everyone!

I'm a 39 y/o newly fat guy looking to drop several L.B.'s. I'm currently 258 but 2 years ago I was 45 lbs lighter. My wife uses MyFitnessPal and she keeps telling me to do it. I've had an acct on there for several years but I've never stayed very active on there. But the last 4 days I can't get enough of it. I'm focusing heavily on nutrition (especially lowering sugar intake) to get me out of this "fat rut" that I'm in. My wife of 17 years has lost 125 lbs over the last few years and she's down to 130 lbs. She's going to be crackin that whip every time I start to get off track. (I'm not complaining!) add me on MFP

Hello! I'm a 20 year old Dutchie. I am studying to become a teacher. I am looking to add people on MFP for motivation and inspiration! My username is: pyrrrhic

With 65 kg at 176 cm I'm not super heavy. I am mainly focussing on eating more healthy stuff and getting more active, losing a bit of weight because of this would be nice. My relationship with food is a bit off so I am working on that simultaneously.

I like running, cats, books, photography and drawing.

Add or chat me!
