One of the best things you can do when you are tying to lose weight is to add some accountability to your routine. How do you do that?
The buddy system.
Having a buddy to try and lose weight with is a great motivator.
You will feel more accountable to reach your weight loss goals when you are actually sharing them with someone. They can also be helpful because it is someone that can relate to you about struggling to lose weight. You can share your triumphs in joy, and your setbacks in support.
If you are working out regularly a buddy is invaluable. They can change a boring walk or jog into an exercise slash therapy session. A hike in the wilderness is always more fun with a friend along! If you are into weight lifting it is also nice to have a buddy. You guys can challenge each other while at the same time providing encouragement and practical help like spots on heavy lifts.
