I am interested in trying to lose 15lbs in the next six weeks as my first mini-goal. I've been doing pretty good with food, and not eating after 10PM have been amazing for my body. I had no idea how much I ate in the hours after 10 and before I fell asleep (usually around 4 am).

Now that I have a good handle on my eating however I am fully aware of how deficent my exercise is. I just don't have any motivation at all...and I'm paying a monthly gym membership fee that I've used twice .

I would like to find someone that could be an exercise accountability buddy...someone to talk about how long, what the intensity was, how much you sweat, how much water was consumed and so on....and maybe the most important...someone that will hold me accountable for getting the exercise I need (4 or 5 days a week) and for whom I can return the favor.

Anyone interested?

Hi...I'm new here...just started a few days ago. I would love to be your accountability partner. I've been over 200lbs for 15 yrs and I understand that it's hard to stay committed. We just have to do this! Sometimes we just make it harder than it really is. 230? I was 230...um, 5 yrs ago. I gain 100lbs+ each pregnancy, lose a little, and stay whereever it lands.Gym membership? No, not for me! I'd rather take that money and buy videos, DVDs, upbeat walking music. I love WATP...2miles...4mph..it's over before you know it and ya sweat. Think about how great it makes ya feel and how you're gonna look. Walk. It comes off! Last summer I took the kids walking 45 min each night after dinner. They rode bikes and I walked as fast as I could. Brought a gallon of water (lots of kids) Lost 22 lbs in 2 wks! Just walking! Plus they get tired and sleep good. I'm focused on 199 right now. I'm walking 6 days...even if it's just 30min. Let me know if you're interested.
