Accountability Buddies

A couple weeks ago I shared an idea I had with my facebook group. I thought it may be nice to have the ability to be paired with an accountability buddy! There are so many of us on weight loss journeys and, as I discussed before on this blog, there is strength in numbers.

Many of us are fortunate to have support in our daily lives, but some of us may not or you may just want some added support from someone who is on a similar journey.

So, I've created a form you can fill out and I will pair you, to the best of my ability, with an accountability buddy! I will try to pair people based on age, location, how much weight you have to lose, if you are married, have kids, etc.

Once paired, you can share information with your buddy, whether you want to email or actually mail things to each other. You can work out those details with your buddy. I am not responsible if you have an unresponsive buddy, however if you let me know of an issue I can try to pair you with someone new.

Do you want an accountability buddy?

If you could, please make sure you are following me via GFC (Just click on "join this site" on the right sidebar) and fill out this form :)

Sign-ups will be open until Monday, February 11th at 11:59pm.

Let me know what you think! Do you plan on participating?

Thinking of support, here are some awesome ladies you should check out!

  11. I think that sounds like a great idea :) You are right, there is strength in numbers and being held accountable to someone else, and by encouraging the other person, it usually has the side effect of lifting your spirits as well.
