Accountability thread: anyone with me for a one month challenge?

I'm going to try and put on and keep on a small set amount of weight. I'll aim for one month to begin with and take it from there.

This will mean eating extra calories every day rather than existing at maintenance or cutting.

I'm already gritting my teeth and trying but would love the extra accountability if someone else wanted to be a weight-gain buddy?

I don't know if we need to talk about weight, targets or numbers of calories as such as this stuff can get competitive or triggering, but more the psychological side of it, how we're doing?

Hi Lifter,
I am really in need of an accountability buddy too! My goal is slightly different, but hoping maybe we could help each other anyway. My weight is a bit low, but I also have a purging habit which I really want to stop. But it's very hard to feel accountable because I don't tell anyone. I would love the challenge of no purging for a month, with someone to report back to. I know it's not quite the same target, but maybe it's the same kind of difficult and the same kind of wanting to get better?
What do you think?
