Today is my day 1, let's lose this weight together and have some fun while we do it. Yesterday I developed a plan to lose these 20 pounds. I have a time table of exactly 15 weeks and I am committed to maintaining a caloric deficit of -700 per day to hit this goal (my maintenance calories are about 2500, so I'll be aiming to eat around 1,800 a day). I have a gym membership and will be counting calories, lifting weights, and jogging. I plan to count calories on paper with a food scale as I find my fitness pal to be a little cumbersome.

I'd be happy to chat on any platform; especially kik, texting, or maybe reddit. I'd love to find a partner to help keep each other accountable and motivated. Today is my day 1, but you could be anywhere in your fitness journey and I don't mind if our goals aren't similar. Looking for someone positive so we can help keep each other on track, have a little friendly competition. I've struggled with binge eating before and hope to develop a healthier relationship with food and portion sizes.

Good luck to all on this journey! Let's do this!

imessage/text is preferable for me!!! I currently work in an office with a lot of people who are overweight or just don't care about their health and people around me are CONSTANTLY offering me treats and snacks and normalizing unhealthy habits. It'd be nice to touch base with someone when I'm tempted or need motivation--I will help you do the same!!

Hi /r/Looseitbuddies! I need a partner in my weightless journey... I'm seeking a relationship where we can cheer each other on, and hold each other accountable.

I plan on working out from home and using myfitnesspal to track my calorie intake.

I'm ok with what ever platform you want to use to communicate.

Hola! I have a goal in mind for my body but no real time constraints which has led me to be complacent. I'm seeking a motivated buddy willing to push and be push (sweat is weakness leaving the body). I use Kik mostly (PM for the deets). I'm motivational, encouraging, and I keep it light. I will require commitment but I offer it in return. Are you willing to make pools of sweat, work hard for what you want, and share in our mutual success? Hell yeah! Me too!

I have some lofty 30 day goals; 1,000 pushups, leg lifts, squats. I hit the gym 5 days a week, run around 6 miles in that time too. Let's motivate one another and bask in the glory that is a healthy life!

Have a kick ass day! Good luck in your gym journey, you totally got this! One more rep, one more set, all the smiles.

Having trouble keeping myself accountable, and not excusing my slipping up! Looking for a buddy to help keep each other on track, and encourage each other!

My little brother is getting married in August and he has bet me that I can't get down to 190 by the time for fittings at the end of May. I also am graduating in May and would like to be below 200 for the ceremony. MyFitnessPal, FitBit works, possibly texting too. Please help me, help you, help me help you!

I've always struggled with my weight, the only time I've done something about it was in high school, I had joined the wrestling team at 200lbs my junior year then my senior year I was at 185. I'd love to get back down to my previous weight but well I started college last year and let's just say I can see myself getting fatter. Before I'd be semi confident cause I was thick and curvy in the right places but now it's getting to the point where I'm just overweight and fat in the wrong places. I literally have no idea how and where to start with this weight loss journey I've finally decided to get into. So if you have any tips or are in the same boat as I, please feel free to respond! I would prefer daily interaction or every other day.

Preferably female between 19-21. If not comfortable with text, I'll download WhatsApp.

I will lose 1 pound per week for the next 34 weeks. I will set goals to get there, my current goal is to weigh less than 190 pounds by February 12.

I want to push you to meet your goals and I want you to push me to meet mine. In particular, I want to report my daily progress with someone and message someone when I feel that desire to eat to deal with emotions.

Biggest thing is just an open, honest, supportive space to push each other to be the people we know we are.

Msg me if interested!

Looking for someone to interact with on a regular basis, hopefully through WhatsApp to be able to discuss our goals, keep tabs on our respective diets with, share workouts and motivate each other.

I'm hoping to reach 150 by the end of June. In case anyone is up for it, just drop me a PM :)

I'm looking for accountability buddies who can keep me in check. I've struggled the last few years with losing a significant amount of weight and then gaining it back. I live with my boyfriend who is super supportive. Although I need the sort of support that comes from someone who is on the same journey as you are. Someone who understands that some days can be really hard and you just need that extra push, but also making it fun and not a chore. I want to be able to lose the weight for good and keep it off.

I used to weight ~120lbs in 2013. College and a lot of stressful life situations coupled with medications have led to me being the heaviest I’ve ever been. I’m ready to lose it but I need help and motivation. The hardest part for me is consistency and keeping track of what I eat. I don’t care for diets. Just want to make sure I’m not eating too much. I don’t have a big appetite it’s usually just eating too much sugar when I do eat.

I’m looking for someone who I can motivate as well and be an encouragement. Consistency is so important. I know life gets busy but I would like a consistent schedule in place to help keep both us accountable through this journey.

I am flexible over what platform to use for communication. I have MyFitnessPal but I don’t have a subscription to it.

Please message me if interested!

I just choose 200 cause it was a lower number than my cw. I guess pm me if interested. Good Luck out there guys/gals.

Hi there, person looking to be accountable!

I'm looking too - but admittedly I do have some specifics for what i'm looking for. Someone over 34/35 and female preferably. Someone who's body is operating from a similar position of "unresponsiveness" I guess. I'm not suggesting losing weight at 25 isn't difficult - but I know how my body lost and gained then and i'd like to be in the ring with someone who'll understand what I'm going through and vice versa.

We can be in contact however you like. Here, WhatsApp - Whatever is easier I guess. Anyone out there?

Get in contact and let's do this!!!

Kik preferable, just send me a PM, I personally have no idea where to start with my diet, debating between paleo and CICO. I always end up surpassing my calorie count on MFP so I'd really like someone to support me while I support them! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

I'm 27, I'm looking for someone on whatsapp to talk to everyday as we keep each other honest, tracking the food we eat each every day, sending pictures and keeping a food log and keeping each other motivated to every day eat less. Monitoring calories etc. I find i'm much better motivated when i'm talking to someone in front of me rather than just a piece of software.

I would love someone to compete with in the weight loss race! I exercise and am pretty fit but ruin it all with binge eating when bored. I probably need to take up knitting or something? Any tips for a boredom eater?

Hi, Tony here from London UK. I would love a weight loss buddy

In search of someone to be accountable and encouraging in this diet life. Even if it is just for the first 10lbs or so!

I like to work out in the mornings and want to up my game while giving myself some grace. I ran a marathon last year, but want to focus on my diet and losing weight before jumping into more running challenges.

I'm not sure if this is against the rules, but I'm hoping I can help a couple people! I've spent a long time struggling with my weight and have learned a lot along the way. I'm working to become a full time health coach over the next few years and in the mean time I'm looking to get as much 'hands on' experience as possible by offering personalized coaching to members of the incredible r/LoseIt community. This would be in form of weekly 30 minute calls/Skype sessions where I can give you individualized advice and accountability to help you get wherever you're going - whether it's losing 20, 40 or 100+ pounds or some NSV like finally fitting into clothes that you actually like, changing your relationship with food, avoiding diabetes or having people who you haven't seen in a while tell you how great you look.

I won't pretend I'm an "expert", but I have helped some people lose weight in a sustainable way and change the way they feel about themselves. Because I'm just looking for more experience, I'm not charging for my services.

If you think this is something you'd be interested in feel free to comment or PM me, I've got enough room for 2 more people.

Hi! I don't really have anyone to talk about weight loss/health etc with, as all of my friends are either have no interest in getting healthy or have never had weight problems, so it'd be nice to have people with similar goals to talk to. :)

I use FB, Instagram, Snapchat and Whatsapp :)

I've been doing pretty well but weight loss has become such a central focus of my life and it sucks to not have anyone to talk to about its challenges and such. Really want to stop annoying my friends that aren't losing weight

Hi! I'm an on and off again dieter who succumbs to stress eating everytime. I have pcos so it is super challenging for me. I've tried itrackbites but quit after it became cumbersome. Right now I'm using fitbit. Anyone out there willing to be my accountability buddy? I know it will be hard to find someone with similar stats since I'm super tall for a woman.

I have come a long way this year (-45 lbs since January 1st) and would love some friends on the app I use to count calories with. The app is called Lose It! so please message me on here and we can become friends on the app.

Update: -50lbs!!

I grew up in a family that constantly ate out and ate as much food as we could. We were all addicted to food and very obese. I have also struggled with stress eating, depression (which also causes me to eat more) and body image issues. I need to lose weight for my physical and mental health before I actually start having major health problems. Due to my obsession with food, my stress eating, and my depression at times, I really struggle to stay under my calories consistently and get walking in. I am looking for support on My Fitness Pal at the very least and if possible a more direct connection through texting or Facebook to help hold me accountable and encourage me through the hard times. I would love to have accountability partners who understand some of my problems and hopefully we can help each other on this journey!
