26F (NY/NJ) Looking for glow-up/level-up friends, online or in person!

Hi! My personal goals currently are to lose fat and tone up by putting on some lean muscle, working on improving my diet and staying consistent, and wanting an accountability partner along the way of this journey. My plan to get there includes adhering to a diet and workout routine, but it is much easier when you're on the journey with a friend and someone who holds you accountable. I am roughly 5'5.5 in height and want to lose about 40 lbs going from 160 to 115. Part of my level up is saving up money for cosmetic enhancements and creating a richer life for myself, and putting myself in those environments/places with a girlfriend would be great, if I were to find someone locally here, because I would love a person to go to the gym with as well! If not local, I'm totally okay with having us just be in sync with our fitness goals and plans for the day and keeping one another in check that we got our stuff done and are making progress in becoming our best selves. My schedule is flexible so I'll likely be able to mesh with yours! The gym I'm going to is Lifetime Fitness in montvale, NJ but I am open to going wherever suits us both, if we are in-person buddies!

21m doing a challenge on stickk app

I just found out about this app and would love someone to hold me accountable for sticking to my challenge (for the moment is using my phone less than 3h, but I would like to add more challenges once I get consistent with this one). If you want to be held accountable for something I can help you with that too

Seeking U.S.-Based Members for a Small Accountability Group

I’m organizing a small (3-5 people) accountability group on Discord for people committed to personal growth and achieving their goals. This group is for anyone looking to connect with like-minded individuals focused on making steady progress in their lives. Together, we’ll support and motivate each other, celebrate wins, tackle challenges, and build a supportive environment for reaching our goals—all while forming genuine friendships.

I believe that habits, routines, and consistency are deeply influenced by our environment and the people we surround ourselves with. My vision for this group is to create a positive, encouraging space that actively inspires and influences our lifestyles for the better.

About Me:

I’m a 30 year old software developer based in Southern California. I’m consistent with a few habits, like working out early (Monday to Thursday at 6 am) and reading daily. Right now, I’m working to add meditation and building my business to my daily routine.

Looking For:

I’d love to connect with others who are disciplined, open to accountability, and driven to improve. Ideally, you have specific goals you’re working on and are ready to share both your progress and challenges with the group.

If You're Interested:

Please send me a DM with:

• Time zone

• A brief introduction about yourself

• Current habits you’re focused on

• Goals and aspirations you hope to achieve in this group

Looking forward to building a committed, growth-focused team with you!

49M [NC] Workout and accountability partner

Looking for someone to help with accountability and workouts in or near Wake County. There have been times that I have gone to the gym, get to the door, turn around and go back home. Other times I get to the gym and watch videos. I knew I wouldn't do that if I had someone to workout with it just someone to do check-ins and I would do the same for them. It's been a long journey, at my max weight I was 250 lbs but I'm down to 180 lbs. I would like to lose 15 more lbs. If you're interested don't hesitate to message.

Edit: I like doing trails too. I don't need motivation for that, just thought I would add it.

I’m willing to communicate a lot (via discord) and i have a few big dreams and projects that i want to start on since i’ve just finished my HSC….but my sleep schedule is bad rn and i have no motivation to do anything unless someone is constantly checking up on me. I want someone who will encourage me and cheer me on no matter what and I will also reciprocate the same😃 and talk about life in general.

Will send todo list each morning and updates of what i’m doing throughout the day and I want the other person to randomly check up on me to make sure i’m getting my stuff done. I’m very happy to do the same as well.

I prefer same gender, age and timezone, preferably someone who has also finished HSC and is in a similar situation to me. I’m not sure how much of a response I will get here but if anyone has any idea of where i should link this post to find people more similar, please let me know.

  • eating yummy food

Health, professional, and intellectual goals

Hi, I'm looking for an accountability partner. I previously had one but life basically got in the way for him and so I'm looking for another one but the format we had was pretty good:

I have a Google Sheet with some trackable and measurable goals, call once a month to adjust/add goals as necessary, and check in once a week to see how the other person is doing generally, making comments as necessary.

A little about me - I am 25M, living in Brazil, my health goals are to eat less sugar and do home workouts more, my intellectual goals mainly relate to learning Portuguese, and my professional goals relate to me working on some projects that could generate passive income.

If you're interested send me a PM! Reddit chat works very poorly for me.

22M looking for a fitness buddy/accountability partner

Hi All! I’m looking for an accountability partner (any gender or fitness level, preferably around my age) to keep me in check with my diet and workouts. While I’ve been lifting for many years, I’ve never been able to stay consistent in my weight loss, particularly as a result of untracked and excessive eating.

I’d love a partner that would be quite active in keeping one another in check in regards to their fitness goals (or any related goals). Daily progress pictures, food logs, check-ins, etc.

I want to put together a group of close guys willing to try weekly challenges to improve social skills and be more comfortable at meeting women.

I know some theory, own plenty of books, seen enough videos, read a lot of posts on here, met a lot of great people but I still can't seem to get started.

My proposal is to bring together a group of highly motivated guys (around 10-20). People who really want to grow, learn and see results but need an extra push. We will stay in touch on a WhatsApp group to read books together, share field reports, share knowledge and to help us heal and grow and we will have challenges to get us out of our comfort zone. The purpose of the closed group is to keep track, get to know, help and keep track of each other. Even better if we are in the city we can meet up and hit up clubs, or other social events.

I want to keep it small so it doesn't get too out of hand and it's easier to keep track of our progress. The group is will be focused on growing as a person (healing traumas, and getting over Nice Guys paradigms) and attracting and meeting women.

Let me know who's interested. Post on here or send me a DM to add you to the group and get started.

26M - Looking for a long term accountability partner/supportive buddy {+5:30GMT /Indian Time zone}

I have been having hard times these days in keeping myself productive to get my things done. That laziness has screwed me up so badly and has affected me causing a negative impact with respect to certain things. So, i really need to find myself back on track by getting rid of my internet addiction and laziness. So, i am looking for a accountability partner for long term such that we both can help each others in getting our tasks done, ensure both are motivated enough to stay productive and support ourselves in lowest points to get things back on track.

My main goals are

  1. Learn Basic level Java dsa and advanced java programming and also to prepare for my job interviews
  2. To reduce my screentime to less than 3-3.5 hours per day.
  3. Workout 5-6 days a week (haven't been going to gym frequently these days but i need to improve it to get better).
  4. Building new hobbies instead of doom scrolling (could be reading books, meditating etc etc).

It would be better if you share a bit similar goals (especially if you are in Information Technology domain, it would be cool) but as long as you are having some study goals i don't mind keeping you accountable. At the end helping each other and ensuring both are in productive track is what's important. We can do daily check-ins on each other or any other way you would be comfortable with, as long as it is feasible to us.

I would prefer someone from Indian time zone / +5:30 GMT (or even if you are between +3 to +7 GMT we can try to make it work someway). So, if you are looking for a accountability partner or a friend to help each other staying productive and getting better. Feel free to drop me a DM with an introduction about yourself and your goals.

25F Midwest USA looking for motivation buddy!

Hi. Over the past 2 years, I have gained an EXTREME amount of weight after getting hit by a car (120lbs). I tend to do best when I know someone out there is cheering for me and also working towards the same goals I am. Here are some of the things I’d want to do with my motivation buddy.

-Sending eachother updates throughout the day/daily of meals we are eating, exercise we’ve done, and things we are doing to improve our health.

-Sending weekly body and scale pictures to eachother so we can document our daily progress

-Weekly goal setting chats on Monday where we can learn each others goals and talk about what we want to do to achieve them.

-Generally someone to talk through the food noise with. I’ve been dealing with a LOT of LOUD food noise lately that I find talking about it helps.

I would prefer our main communication be off Reddit.

I am black

I don’t care about gender or anything. I just ask that my motivation buddy be open and non judgmental. Let’s help each other reach our goals!

44M Looking for a Workout and Diet Accountability Partner – Let’s Stay on Track Together!

Hey everyone,

I've been meaning to share this for a while but, like so many things in life, it kept getting pushed to the side.

I've struggled with being overweight for most of my life. A few years ago, a major health scare shook me into action, and I committed to making my well-being a priority. In early 2022, I had surgery and afterwards began a focused routine of cardio, weightlifting, and a balanced diet. Over time, these healthy habits transformed my life, and I felt better than I ever had.

But life has a way of throwing curveballs. This past year, I had to step away from that routine to care for a loved one who was very ill. My focus shifted completely, and the healthy lifestyle I worked so hard to maintain fell away. Tragically, I lost that family member in August, and shortly before that, another person close to me. It left me stunned, heartbroken, and struggling to find my way back.

Now, I'm in a place where I’m ready to prioritize my health and well-being again. I'm working out, eating well, and slowly reclaiming that sense of strength and stability. My goal is to surpass where I was in 2023 and achieve even more.

One thing I learned from my previous journey is how impactful it is to have someone to share the experience with—a partner who motivates, encourages, and holds you accountable. Having that person who checks in, even when things are tough, made all the difference. And I'd love to find that kind of connection again.

So, if you’re also looking to share motivation, chat a bit throughout the week, and help each other stay on track, let’s team up. I’d love to be a support for you, too. If this sounds like what you’re looking for, send me a DM, and let’s do this together!

Seeking a UK-based fitness accountability partner

Hi guys,

I'm a 31 year old guy who lives in London. Looking for a M or F partner to keep each other motivated 💪

My goal is to put on muscle and would probably prefer if yours was too but that's not a deal-breaker if we get on.

I've been pretty fit until I got injured earlier this year and then have launched a business which is taking a lot of my time.

Hoping for a zoom call to maybe establish a connection then perhaps regular check-ins over WhatsApp to keep each other on the hype train 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Would be great to hear from you

A doctor exhausted of letting my life and years wilt away into nothingness by chronic lack of action/procrastination.Looking to quit a few things bad for me& make huge strides towards self improvement with achievable short term goals transitioning into long term habits with a non judgemental partner

TLDR: looking for a long term buddy in a similar timezone to quit some lazy habits and be overall productive and energetic in life and experience the joy of working for something with consistency and getting a good end result. I want the joy of beating procrastination and feeling personal growth in myself.

...........

I am going to be fairly descriptive so its a long post with what i am looking for so that i dont waste anyone's time. If what i am saying resonates with someone they can contact me.

Self esteem has never been an issue for me, as in, i am never in fear that i cannot achieve something because i am incapable. However what scares me is my inability to string together a few good days of work , i always find myself just finishing my work day then doing nothing, and that nothingness carries on to days and weeks and before i am self aware again i feel like i lost months and i havent had any personal growth. The feeling of being stagnant haunts me. I AM A GREAT PLANNER BUT BAD AT EXECUTION. this phrase might describe me best

I have had a few big struggles in my early 20s regarding mental health, financial issues with my family, and i worked my way out of them, and yes i did work 3 jobs trying to provide for my family while preparing for my reisdency exam, i somehow managed to clear it yet i feel i could have done so much more if i was focussed but even. It scared me that even in such a difficult period of my life, when survival instincts kick in and most people work their asses off , my brain still procrastinated for weeks at a time many times.

At that stage I would work 2 jobs and spend 36 hours at a stretch at work but when it comes to personal growth i used to procrastinate so much. I have never let this affect the way i deal with my patients but i often find myself unhappy at the end of the day instead of fulfillment.

I have achieved a few things in life, such as my career , which is on its way to become fairly decent, but i have never given it my 100 percent or even 50 percent. I was naturally gifted with retaining information and concepts well so it saved me countless times but everytime i sit for an exam and just do enough to do decent i always feel i could have done so much more.

It is not that i am not grateful for what i have been blessed with but i want to have a sense of accomplishment, of working hard on something and beam with happiness when i see the results.

I am my biggest enemy as in i am capable of many things if i work towards them but i suffer from chronic lack of consistency. But not many understand, i try to share this to a few people and they say " you are a doctor, u are not that overweight, you have a fairly decent life, u are just thinking too much " hence i have come here to see if someone understands me. It is not the end result, but the journey that i want to experience . I want to be happy with setting a goal working towards something and achieve it and share that joy with a buddy!

I set goals for myself but constantly leave them after few days. I go to the gym 2 days then lose consistency, i lose 3 kgs and then gain them back. I journal for a month to keep track of my life then not do it for 3 months. And every few months when i review myself i feel like i have made no steps forward in regards to personal growth.

I dont smoke at all or drink much but i have certain habits which encourage procrastination which i want to quit cold turkey , just sudden because I know i dont have that self control yet to limit these distractions. So its better i stop doing them all together.

I would like to work on things such as consistent weight loss and acheiving a target goal but also maintaining it for months. Healthy eating which again is consistent with a cheat day or two. Regular exercise as running in the park makes me feel so good. I love the joy of running and the euphoria i get after it and my body feels tired but good yet sometimes i can go weeks without running due to procrastination.i want to be a regular jogger or runner.

I want to study consistently, i dont need too much time a day on it but i need consistency and i need to prepare for a few exams to further my career later on in life.

I want to journal consistently, journalling is the single thing that saves me from going into a downward spiral. Opening my journal makes me feel fulfilled, when i dont journal i feel my life has just blanks and i have done nothing during that period.

So in the end i need a partner who has read all the above and connects with me on a few aspects, i want someone who is communicative and non judgemental so that i can share most issues with them without worrying about what they will think about me. And mainly a partner who consistently pokes me and reminds me why we started. I wont lie there will be ups and downs i wont be perfect everyday . Sometimes i have long working hours but i want to achieve atleast 80 percent of my goals for the week by end of the week.

What i can provide is a non judgemental space, my only focus would be on helping my partner be accountable and achieve their goal. And if you are in the medical field too i can provide help with studies. I am fairly good at sending reminders and like i said i am good at planning schedules and making easy to achieve goals, its the execution where i lack.

Thanks for reading this far, i was very descriptive so that people can know whether i am the right partner for them or not as i am a procrastinator myself and some people want a highly focussed self sufficient partner and i am not suitable for them. However i had a fairly decent experience with most of my previous accountability buddies over the past few years.

I am 27 male and in gmt /ist +5 :30. I am currently in delhi for a few months more. I am open to online accountability buddies but also open to anyone in delhi if they want to meet and have real life accountability in that regards. I dont mind the gender or age as long as there is communication, but have a small preference for people in a similar stage of life so that we can connect more.

Looking for mutual motivation partner

I’m 29m in California and have so much time on my hands, but the paradox of that is I don’t get much of anything done that I’d like to!

I have a lot of aspirations and goals, but don’t usually know how to set them motion, and when I do, I find it impossible to follow through and keep routines for more than a few weeks.

I’m looking for someone who I can support in their routine and motivation, and who I can offer accountability to. And I’m looking for the same in return. DM me if you’re ready to grow too.

[22 F] I'm looking for an accountability buddy to help each other stick to our goals :) CST Time Zone (GMT-6)

I'm working on improving a few areas of my life and I'm looking for a girl around my age with similar interests so we can help guide each other. I'm serious about getting my life together, but I get easily overwhelmed and struggle with analysis paralysis. Here are a few things I'm working on:

  1. Growing my YouTube channel + Tiktok [I'm working to get paid on social media]
  2. Health + Fitness [Gym 3/ week + High water intake + eating a fruit/veggie a day]
  3. Mental Health [Journaling]
  4. Going outside more
  5. Waking up before 8 am everyday

I'm looking to build more consistency + momentum because I get work done, but only in spurts and I'm trying to keep the momentum going. I'm also team winter arc if you're doing that.

We don't need to talk every day, but daily check-ins would be cool where we send each other our to-do lists in the morning, and check-in at night to see if we completed it all. We'd sort out the details later but lemme know if you're interested, we could hop on Discord and get started literally todayyyy :) [PS - please be serious, I'm trying to lock in fr fr]
