Looking for accountability buddy for weight loss

Hi everyone, i hope it is ok to post here.

i (35f, 160cm CW: 64 kg GW:58 kg) am in search of an accountability buddy to keep each other motivated and accountable on a daily basis to stick to good eating habits, to workout in order to lose weight. I feel like it is easier to stick to good habits if i can share with someone when i make good choices:)

My goal is to workout on a daily basis, 3xweek in gym, and the rest as home workouts.

for diet i wish to stick to a low carb diet, and cutting junk food.

In my near social circle i do not have anyone to share this goal with, so i thought i give it a try here. You can dm or just write below if interested, cheers!

This is too hard 😔

I’ve been working out at a gym since March of 2025 and after a lot of effort I’ve managed to lose about 20 pounds. But I’m stuck now and I’m not losing any more body fat. This is so difficult. I read posts of people losing 50, 60 lbs in a few months and I feel like a complete failure. I’ve tried limiting my food and walking more in addition to strength training. But the weight loss has slowed to a crawl of maybe 2 lbs a month if that. I’m just so disappointed in myself that I feel like binge eating and giving up on this entirely.

Am I under-eating?

Started my weight loss in June 2025 at 273lbs. Fat but I still had good muscle mass underneath. Started dieting and doing intense exercise. But dieting as in I eat very little throughout the day. No tracking calories or macros, just eating healthier and less.

I am now 239lbs but my body fat % frankly is not going down anymore and I've noticed a decrease in my muscle mass. My body went into preserve fat mode eat muscle mode.

According to a calculator, I would need to eat around 2,700 calories/ 142g protein a day to properly lose fat and keep muscle.

Is it ok if I reach my protein goal but not my calories goal? Thank you.

What is a healthy weight to lose per week?

Any help would be much appreciated and I know people are tired of hearing these types of questions because of the frequency of them but I would really appreciate any help from people who are going through this or have gone through this.

I know this has probably been asked hundreds of times and you can downvote me - I don't mind - but after looking at the Wiki I couldn't find anything related to suitable weight loss PER WEEK ... all it says is this:

"with those who lose the largest amounts in the smallest periods of time being the most likely to get loose skin"

So I am just wondering if 0.75 - 1 kg per week is a good amount of weight to lose per week or if I should tone it down a bit? Also, should one consume more collagen and elastin rich foods (or supplement the two) when trying to lose weight? Finally, what are the weight categories for which loose skin is less likely ... what I mean by this is: if you are required to lose more weight (I know this sounds an obvious and stupid question haha) does that mean it is more likely to get loose skin??

Thanks for any help in advance.

Recommendations to improve loose skin while losing weight?

for context I'm 411 28 female and I've lost 30 lb. I have 20 more to go.

I had my kid when I was in my late 19. she is 9 years old right now

And after pregnancy and a C-section, I gain a significant amount of weight, throughout the years I gained and lost the same 10 lb, after a breast reduction I ended up gaining a lot rapidly after losing and I was at 160 lb. probably more to be honest.

while I am now 130 lb. my weight loss journey feels overwhelming as my apron belly has not typically shrunk.

it's definitely smaller but it still hangs. it's still there. I don't know how small I would have to get to get it to shrink more.. but it hangs enough that it makes me feel like I'd have to lose quite a lot of weight. my goal is to reach 110 lb... and see how I feel about it then and there.

I cannot afford a tummy tuck, It would literally be my dream, All this extra fat and skin takes away from my weight loss journey and my body. I know that sometimes the stomach could be the last thing to actually go, I do have extra loose skin and fat on my love hand, my back , my inner thighs and definitely my arms. while my inner thighs and arms don't particularly bother me, it is something I'd like to fix eventually, But like I said I can't afford surgery. I know there's other options like sculpting, I just don't exactly remember what it's called, and I know there's many other options. so what are options that I could do procedure is that I can do that can help shrink the fat and skin. well I know it won't be 100% fixed as this is more or so something that needs surgery. I don't expect for it to be 100% gone. I just want it to be less. it has been very hard journey for, because I'm actually pushing myself above and beyond and I see no improvement... it makes me discouraged and honestly embarrassed. I just want to feel good in my body, and while I can't afford surgery right now, I'd like to find ways that I can do some things to help improve and make this journey better.

When did you fall in love with the weight loss journey?

Hi,

Long story short, about over a year ago, I began taking the weight loss jabs. I used it for two months, and after I stopped it I had continued weight loss until about november 2025, granted it did slow, but as my appetite has returned almost a year after I stopped taking it, counting calories and going into a deficit is the only thing that makes me feel kinda safe (I’m still overweight).

For years, i’ve stopped and started, this has been going on since i was 13 and I’m now 21, and J just find the tracking of calories to be a little annoying, and I struggle to keep these changes as a permanent fixture as opposed to just a fad that I always burn out of. It always feels doable at the start but then i run out of motivation.

So far, i’m eating what I like, with adjustments to what J have for lunch, & breakfast, trying to add some veg into a plate that’s pretty bland. I’m planning to start going walks as I currently can’t afford gym membership.

At the start, it feels a little overwhelming, and I’m guess i’m just wondering, how long did it take others to get into the habit, fall in love with their journey, to fully implement these changes into their lives? Kinda as hopecore I guess. I just have this vision for myself as in due to be a student teacher this coming fall, and I’m aware kids can be cruel, but I also don’t want to enter the profession overweight with the same habits I had at 15.

Looking for Weight Loss Texting Support Buddies 💬✨

Location: Canada Pacific Northwest but have USA number or WhatsApp too

Female 36 y/o

In past lost 70 pounds doing keto but my brain needs sugar so doing it diff this time 😊

Hey everyone! I’m on a long weight loss journey and I’m realizing how much easier it feels when I have people to talk to who actually understand what it’s like. I’d love one or two texting buddies for daily or weekly check-ins, motivation, and just someone to share the highs and lows with. I’m 5’3, and my weight has been up and down over the years, so having support while I rebuild consistency would help a lot.

My body type is very “skinny arms/skinny legs, bigger middle,” so most of my extra weight sits in my belly and upper back. I’m trying to shrink a big visceral belly and a noticeable buffalo hump area that’s affected my posture and confidence. My biggest motivation is wanting to dress cute again, feel confident, and recognize myself in photos. I’ve worked hard to get this far, and I’m ready to keep going.

I try to follow Medical Medium-style eating when I can. I’m not strict about everything, but the fruit-heavy, veggie-heavy, low-fat approach genuinely makes my body feel calmer and less inflamed. I follow his routines loosely but consistently — it helps me stay grounded and not spiral with food.

My current stats:

• Current: 196

• Goal: 115

• Highest: 250

My average food day:

• Morning: lemon water, celery

• Lunch: lettuce salad w/ cucumber, tomato, onion (dressing has vinegar but otherwise clean)

• Snacks: banana, pure apple sauce, homemade sweet potato chips, That’s It fruit bars

• Dinner: one tilapia fillet with bok choy

• After dinner: steamed potato or MM cabbage rolls

• Night: heavy metal detox + apple sauce

If you’re also on a long-term weight loss journey, working on midsection fat, trying MM-style eating, or just wanting a steady buddy who gets it, feel free to message me. I’d love someone kind, consistent, and supportive.
