On August 6th, just 6 days after my moms accident, I wrote about community (full post here). I was rereading that post the other day and something I wrote stuck out at me:
If there is anything I can tell you about how I lost my weight, it was by relying on community. When I was feeling stressed or ready to give up, so many of you instinctly rallied around me. When I shared a victory, you were right there to celebrate with me. That truly is how we continue through life. By supporting each other, by rallying around each other - good or bad. If there is anything I can tell you about how I have made it these past few days, it is by relying on community. We need to do that more.I mentioned the other week that I was gonna jump on Ebay and get me some serious protective gear to help get me through the holidays, so I don't come out on the other side 20lbs heavier. I am completely aware that stress is gonna run high and food will attempt to be my comfort. But if I have my way, food will not be my reason to live. I need a partner. An accountability partner. A motivational match-up!
Friends, you wanna do this with me? Are you in need of a motivational match-up? Well I have supercalafragilistic news!
MizFit and I are partnering to match you up with someone, somewhere in the world to be your motivational accountability.
What does this mean you ask? That's the best part - cuz it's up to you & your partner! We give you a name & an email address and you define the rest! Be it a text, email, phone call, whatever!
Someone to check in on how things are going.
Someone to poke you when you need a poke.
Someone to pat you on the back.
Someone to give you a reality check.
Someone to send you a impromptu smile.
Someone to be part of your accountability.
Someone who gets what your going through.

Great timing!
What a fab idea!! Love it!
I'm in. Thanks!
Ya know what, this is a great idea, and it works! I already do this with a few bloggers and fellow weight watchers that I've met through blogging. Emails, texts and calls can be a real help to us when we are struggling.
:)
you continue to amaze me what a great idea....
Way to go Jen. Another great idea. I'm signing up.
Great idea!
Great idea to partner up with somebody to keep you motivated and on track to reach your goals. I've been in the fitness world for a long time and the most successful people are those who have a "partner in crime". We will often times accept letting ourselves down but rarely will be let other around us down.
whooooo... i love the idea! that is a great one! you and mizfit are awesome!!
oh and good job on getting back into the training appointments- it was only one slip up! im sure it wont happen again! lol

yes, excellent idea and great timing Jen
Looking forward to meeting my new 'match'
Tusc :)
this sounds super fun cant wait to meet up w/ my match!
I always thought it was neat to have someone that can motivate you but was outside of your home and workplace. Someone that you don't know sending you encouragement and telling you to keep working hard is a great influence!
