Accountability Partners Anyone??

[glorious135]

Hey All!

Not sure if there are any threads about being an accountability partner, but I was thinking that we could pair up with someone that could be an accountability partner to report to daily with whatever goals you have. If you really have a problem with exercising, then let your partner know and that partner will hold you accountable for that. We could relay the info. through private messages or exchange emails, etc. I need someone to really be hard on me, none of that, "Oh, that's okay that you had that cookie," etc. The problem with me is that I do have determination but if I get in a real giddy mood, it's like I don't care that I don't stick to my plan and I keep yo-yoing. Would someone like to be my accountability partner? I am walking 2 miles a day and weight-lifting. As far as diet goes, I was doing low-carb, but I was doing that for months and months and would prefer to just eat fewer calories. If you have any advise on how many calories to eat per day and how many to burn approximately, that would be great. I'll let you know all the details you need. Thanks.

I have thought about trying to find a one-on-one accountability partner -- especially someone else my height and weight. Oddly enough, I was in the Before & After forum a minute ago and there is someone that is both my same height and same weight.

At any rate, I am not sure who else would be looking for this, but this would be a good thread to get people to pair up like that.

Just now I ran into this sticky post: http://weight-loss.fitness.com/weight-loss-programs/3971-looking-diet-buddy.html

There are many pages and it seems to be like this thread.

glorius - spend some time reading the sticked threads in nutrition and you'll get the answers to your calorie question...

Geam pointed you towards the buddy thread which is one way to go - but honestly most people find that doesn't work because people on this forum - especially when the post count is very low - tend to be very transient and don't stick around.

start a diary and you'll have accountability to the entire forum - visit other's diaries and you 'll get the same in return - you'll get what you're looking for on a grander scale
