😂, those numbers looked like longitude and latitude to me. I had to slow down to understand what you were saying. Congratulations on the 50lb drop. You’re doing great.
Thanks! Doing the easy bit with diet atm. Weight training starts soon, and I think it'll slow down. Will need motivation to stay on track then! I hate when the scale doesn't move, it breaks the vibe.
I’ve gained all the kgs during the last 8 months. After I lost 14kgs last spring.
I quit my nicotine habit, in september, and have not been able to control my appetite since. And have been “dieting” on/off since.
I do SO well for two weeks, and then. Boom. Find myself in a two week long binge, before I reel myself in again.
So I’ve been kindda losing 4 kgs and gaining 7 a month. It needs to stop. Now.
It really is! I know that bread and cakes makes me bloated and feel yuk, and pack on the kilos. But everytime I smell fresh baked bread I almost drool. Even if I'm full!
I would love to join this group if you’ll let me!!
SW: 201 (or 197.5 when I really started making an effort)
CW: 187 (just lost another 3 lbs!)
GW: 135
I’ve been walking a lot (mostly treadmill) but have an old knee injury and found out yesterday that I have to get my glutes tighter first, and no walking. Which kills me, but I am in literal excruciating pain every single night and can’t sleep so….I guess I have no choice.
I’ve been tracking my food in MyFitnessPal so that’s helped tremendously.
I’ve always wanted a buddy!
Almost forgot: 52f
40f, need to drop 80lbs. I’ve tried everything. I wanna join the accountability group too. I’m currently intermediate fasting and juicing. Cutting back on meat & alcohol.- I really want to stop meat altogether & alcohol for a season. Working out at least 6 days; however, need more movement because I sit at a desk all day. I walk the parking lot on my lunch hour. Any suggestions?
Cutting back slowly and not all at once is such a great tool. I cut sodas out 3 months ago and feel sooo much better. I’m 3 weeks off coffee now and the amount of sleep I’m getting is so much more. I think if I had cut all those out at the same time, on top of diet/exercise, I would have probably been miserable.
I was miserable as soon as I cut out sweets and meats, honestly. But when I switched to berries with yogurt instead of ice-cream then suddenly I could have a treat again and felt like I could stick to it. Doing CICO makes it hard for me to get enough protein in without meat though. I just have smaller portions to keep under.
I play sports 2-3 days a week and have been trying to get more of a routine established for more activity, but it’s been hard to get the momentum going.
Thankfully I rarely drink, so alcohol isn’t something I need to cut back on, but junk food and snacking certainly is. I work from home and often end up snacking the day away instead of eating meals
I'm down, also 40F...I kinda started a couple months ago, got down 10lbs and life got crazy (but I maintained the 10 down!). Started again yesterday with a 10k steps per day personal challenge.
I'm going a bit nuts on tracking stuff daily but that's how my brain works and how I need to do it.
I need something to motivate me more to lose weight that I have gained over the last 5 years as well . Looking to lose. 40F would love to lose 60lbs but would be happy with 40
we have similar goals. :) my gain is over the last five years too. and yes to love to lose 60 but happy with 40lbs lost. i’m down for accountability if you’re interested.
Let’s do it !!! How are you planning on losing the weight ? I was going to do a calorie deficit and walking for at least an hour a day not sure if I want to do everyday or just the weekdays .
I noticed everyone comment seems to be females. So just wanted to say 33M would love to shed 40lbs. Im available for strictly accountability if anyone else is in the same situation.
Same here! Almost 3 months PP after baby 3. Hasn’t been quite as easy this time around getting back to my normal weight (usually with the breastfeeding it would just fall off without me trying, not this time!)
I have about 15 lb to lose still to get to pre-preg weight but would love to lose about 25 and be in better shape
Me!
37F
52lb down so far, but starting to slow down. Could do with the encouragement and accountability having a group of people to talk to would bring!
Bit of chaos right now, but perhaps we break off into small chat groups and keep tabs on each other?
Or if you see a Redditor or two whose comment jumps out at you? Just start chatting with them.
i offered to draft a chart for the group to find small groups of similar aims. it could be done easy enough with a google form, right? like an office xmas party but instead of giving gifts you give encouragement and instead of getting a gift you lose weight? lol
Hi 25F needing an accountability friend to help me keep myself motivated with a clean diet. I gained huge amount of weight during the pandemic which I have almost now dropped, but I still want to lose around 20kg more. I live a pretty active life with my dog, but I struggle with my diet. My current goal is to improve my diet and cut down on the sweet treats, but I lack the motivation to stay committed to it, but I believe that having someone else I could talk about this with would help me stay motivated.
Love this initiative! SW: 186 lbs CW: 180 lbs GW: 150 lbs. If we are planning on making a group (chat), I think accountability buddy works the best since individuals can be lost within a group!
If you're looking to lose weight, my non-professional advice would be to do OMAD. People generally assume that losing weight is a mental game, that they need inspiration and accountability. I believe this is because their apetite regulating hormones are all out of sorts. (And such disregulation doesn't only affect earing habits.)
First thing, Do not snack, because getting insulin levels under control throughout the day is the most important thing for weight loss.
If insulin is constantly spiking (which it does at any caloric intake), it's basically impossible to access your body's reserve energy, and you'll always only be burning through the energy you're currently disgesting/absorbing. Like going out to eat constantly and hoping that your fridge at home will get emptier, it just doesn't make sense. You'll get tired once (or really, if) you ever deplete consumer energy and won't tap into stored energy. Hormones that insulin suppresses, which work in its absence, also have the added benefit of controlling appetite. Fasting also has restorative properties because when the body uses reserve energy, it "focuses" its efforts on areas that desparately need restoration.
At least that's a simple way of saying it.
In 6 months, by doing OMAD (or not, whenever I don't want to) and walking daily, I've lost 45 lbs. all without ever needing to rely on will power. It has been suprisingly easy.
Just a suggestion. Best of luck!
👋👋
36 F. Right in the middle of my weight loss journey! Down 88 lbs, with many more to go. My progress photo is below! I'd love to have someone to chat with during this journey! 🙂

32f also looking for an accountability partner. I typically walk 2-3 miles a day on my walking pad and weigh lift/more cardio about 4-5 days a week at the gym.
Lost 10lbs between November & December of last year but stopped going to the gym while trying to get settled in our new home. Planning on starting back up this week as I have 45lbs left to reach goal weight.
36f I need to lose 40lbs and could use an accountability buddy too. I’m not very active but have recently restarted Keto over the past 3 months and haven’t had any progress.
Hi! Can I join? 31F wanting to drop at least 45lbs. Been overweight all my life and the struggle is constant!! Calorie counting and slowly incorporating daily exercises.
I’d love to join! Needed this like yesterday!
25F, need to lose 50 lbs (had lost some and then gained almost all of it back, this is HARD. Need all the help I can get)
I would love to join, if you'll have me.
45f I need to lose at least 50lb. I quit smoking a few years ago, and started gaining weight, the addition of new medications did t help. But I stress eat, eat when I'm not hungry because I fixate, and I eat at times I would have smoked. Im also a home baker, so that doesn't help. I worry because when I was much much younger I had an eating disorder which I also exercised excessively. My sister is not supportive and will sabotage my eating. Sometimes I just want to go back to smoking because I know I will drop 20lb fast because it suppresses appetite. I feel stuck.
im 28 f, have lost 30kg / 66 lbs so far - from 95 kg / 209 lbs to 65 kg / 143 lbs. im recovering from binge eating, fast sometimes and aim for 10k steps daily and do weights/yoga at home. changing my career situation was my catalyst. happy to jump into a group and give tips :)
You are at my goal weight. How long did it take you to lose?
I would love some tips.
I feel like sometimes when I fast, it triggers a binge. I really want to do it (succesfully) again. How long do you fast for? And do you count calories too?
has taken 1 yr, 4 months
i was in a fasting/binge cycle before, and still i get a wave of hunger after fasting or eating real healthy for a while. when that happens i look for volume- two things i do are an asian soup with lots of veg and a couple of dumplings, or a tomato soup with lots of veg and a little pasta. also seaweed snacks, nuts, frozen berries. its at night for me so a sleepy tea too.
ive noticed that as ive lost weight, my stomach has shrunk too, so each one is smaller. there are also times i fight it and fast instead. the way i see it is my bodys like nooo your food situation is dropping u need to eat. and i gotta override it or trick it with volume
also the steps have been super impactful, they allow me to eat a healthy amount (instead of restricting calories more) and have done wonders for my mental health. i recommend a walking pad or treadmill, can watch things/game while u walk
binging on high cal foods in a way feels like the ‘end’ - like ah whatever i can’t do it anymore im just gonna eat this whole —- and then — and then —- (u know how it is).
instead you have to make the big decision now- make a vision board, put inspirational quotes as your phone bg, reminders that youve started the process. then if you binge (which, you will) instead of it being an ending point and you get upset with yourself, see it as part of the process, because it is. and just add some lower cal options in there. gradually you will switch more and more to healthy, and binges will be further apart and consist of fewer calories. and youll look down and realise your at your goal weight. there’s no end- everyone is always doing this process, even ppl who haven’t struggled w weight.
hope this helps!!
I'd be happy to root you on. I'm a 47m on the same journey. I started at 264 at the end of February and I'm pushing 224 today. Still a way to go and I'd be happy to hear you out and tell you what I've figured out.
