Question

I hope this is okay to post, it would be considered an idea. Does anyone get together outside of WW meetings and private groups to get motivational/accountability help? I am struggling with losing weight even though I have been going to the gym 3-4 times a week and drink water instead of soda now. I think if I had a work out partner/walking partner as well as someone to keep each other on track with eating I would do so much better. I am from Mattapoisett Massachusetts, is there anyone close who is interested in exercising and keeping each other accountable in person?  

Answer 1

Great idea. If only I lived near you!  

Answer 2

Actually that’s what happens when you go to meetings although it’s nice to have a buddy to walk and exercise with if that’s your thing.  

Answer 3

I understand you can get moral support from going to meetings but that is not what I was referring to as a lot of meetings have varying groups of people. I also cannot go to the same meeting all the time so finding accountability buddies that way does not work for me, can't really get that closeness with someone with 30 people at a meeting and you don't get to chat alone.  

Answer 4

Meetup is a website/app for various groups. You enter your city and how far you are willing to travel. If you don’t find what you are looking for create your own group. I also really like dietbet and StepBet.

I have signed up for meetup but haven’t been to anything yet because of my schedule. I am definitely going to check out dietbet and stepbet. Thanks for the suggestions!  

Answer 5

Wish I had someone like that! Trying to get my daughter involved but she is not as athletic as I am so she does not want to exercise. ugh.
