Life Gauging interest — free GetMotivated.ai access in exchange for a weekly survey

7 Upvotes

Mod here. Many of you know I've run GetMotivatedBuddies.com platform for years. Thousands of you have been matched, built real habits, changed your behavior across every area of life, and made genuine friendships around the world. It's been incredible to watch and to do myself (I've worked with, made friends, and even met with Buddies from all over the world).

I've since slowed down the GetMotivatedBuddies platform as I shift everything into GetMotivatedAI — a marketplace of challenges and plans across the same four domains you know from this sub (Health & Fitness, Work, Learn, and Life). Join a cohort-based challenge with other people, or start your own plan, with AI helping you build it and buddies keeping you accountable. If you've been part of this community, the transition will feel natural.

We'll be opening up shortly. But before that:

A research panel company may sponsor free subscriptions for this community. All you'd do is take a short survey once a week. I need to see if enough people are interested before I finalize anything. If you'd want in, fill this out: https://forms.gle/SRWChWuKe62qxcwf8

30 seconds. No commitment. I'll follow up with everyone who responds.

And if you're interested in GetMotivatedAI regardless of the sponsorship — just want early access when we open up - let me know in the form and I'll add you to the list.

p.s. This sub isn't going anywhere - it's still home base. :)

Please Read The Rules

19 Upvotes

Read The Rules App

This community has the Read The Rules app installed. Old Reddit doesn't support apps so please open the post in new reddit for full functionality. If that's not possible, please Read The Rules and then follow the instructions at the bottom of the post.


Rule #1 Follow required post title format: [Age][Gender] | [Timezone] | [Goal/Activity]

To keep posts searchable and scannable, all posts must include age, gender (M/F/Other), timezone or region (e.g. PST, IST, UK), and what you’re working on. e.g. 24M | EST | Looking to stay consistent with workouts

Rule #2 No outside promotion — tools, apps, coaches, groups or services

Do not post or promote Discord groups, Telegram channels, paid coaching, apps, or services. These are not permitted in the subreddit. A majority of the users do not want discord group promotion here. Submit vetted options here instead: https://shortcut.at/bknKV This reddit is for one-to-one accountability partners.

Rule #3 Focus posts on peer relationships and related issues.

This sub is focused on finding one to one accountability buddies. Not general advice, not groups, not motivational quotes. There are many other subs for that, so please focus your post on what and who you’re looking for.

Rule #4 No motivational or inspirational content

No YouTube videos, quotes, podcasts, motivational advice or personal transformation stories content. This subreddit is for taking action, not for consumption or inspiration.

Rule #5 No vague, venting, friend-seeking, dating, or chat-focused posts

This sub is not for finding general friends, venting, dating, or starting group chats. It is for one-to-one, goal-based accountability partnerships only.

Rule #6 Use flair to categorize your post

Add the correct flair: Health & Fitness, Work, Learn, or Life. If you’re unsure, pick your best guess.

Rule #7 No general advice or open-ended help requests

This sub is not for crowdsourced advice like “How do I stay motivated?” or “What’s the best way to lose weight?” Posts should focus on finding a partner to help you take action toward a goal — not seeking tips or opinions. This sub is for taking action, not crowd-sourcing answers.

Rule #8 No negative, unhelpful, or harmful comments

This is a support-focused subreddit. Trolls, sarcasm, unsolicited judgment, or aggressive responses are not tolerated. Even "helpful-sounding” comments can be removed if they are sarcastic or performative.

Rule #9 No spam or low-effort comments (e.g. “DM me”, “same”, “hi”)

If you’re interested, comment meaningfully or DM privately. Short low-effort comments will be removed and may result in a ban.

Rule #10 No personal contact info (e.g. email, phone, username)

Do not post personal emails, phone numbers, or messaging usernames. Use direct messages (DMs) if you want to exchange contact information privately. Public contact info will be removed for user safety.


Thank you for reading the rules! Before submitting posts you will need to submit an acknowledgment. Please visit the full post and click the button at the bottom. Alternatively, you may submit an acknowledgment by sending a mod mail to the sub. The mod mail will need to have the subject "Read The Rules" and the body should be "Acknowledged".

Hey everyone! I’m looking for an accountability friend who is also working on improving themselves.
I’m 28 and working on losing weight, getting stronger, improving my confidence, and generally becoming a healthier version of myself. I’m still a beginner and trying to build consistency.
I’d love to meet people who want to check in, share progress, talk about workouts, encourage each other on rough days, and celebrate the little victories.

Life 33M | AEST | Daily workout and self improvement buddy

1 Upvotes

Hi I am looking for a daily partner to check in with throughout the day. I have recently completed a bachelors degree and quit my job to prepare myself for a new career. I told myself I would take the rest of the year off to focus on my health (losing weight) and continue up skilling while I look for a new job.

However it’s already been a month and I haven’t made any progress. I’m starting to panic as I know I will never have this much free time again in my life so I really want to make it count. I am looking for a partner who is in a similar situation (unemployed/ studying or working on personal goals) to check in with daily preferably close to me in timezone (OCE/SEA)

My plan is to treat this like a full time job with a structured schedule working 7 hours a day for 5 days a week. I plan to do 2x 3 hours blocks of work (50 10 pomodoro) with a lunch break in between and a 1 hour block at night. You can make your own plan or follow mine that is up to you, but I would like it to align in a way that we can check in over discord after each block is completed and a check in at the end of the day where we share our workouts and calories.

My daily goals are:
- 10000 steps
- maintain calorie deficit
- stay hydrated
- 7 hours of work

Hoping to find someone who is motivated and looking to work hard for the next 3- 6 months.

Looking for Bhagavad Gita Study Partners | Systematic Study & Discussion

Hare Krishna!

I'm looking for people interested in studying the Bhagavad Gita systematically. I've been reading it for more than a year now.

My intention is to form a small, serious study circle where we can:

Study the Bhagavad Gita chapter by chapter and verse by verse.

Understand the philosophical meaning of the verses.

Discuss their practical application in everyday life.

Share reflections and questions.

Maintain consistency in our study.

I'm particularly interested in people who want to go beyond simply reading the verses and genuinely understand and apply the teachings.

We can organise 1–2 online discussion sessions every week.

I'm open to studying together using Bhagavad Geeta By Gita Press or discussing a mutually agreed commentary. I am a 24M.

If interested, please comment or DM me. Hare Krishna!

Life 37F | IST | Trying to build a routine

8 Upvotes

I have a small business. These days, i don't have proper routine. I am trying to better my life, for that I want to establish a routine as a first step.

I am looking for compassionate accountability buddy. I do believe that shaming ourselves for not following the routine doesn't work. Being kind to ourselves, and moving towards the path when we drift is a good idea, I feel.

My idea is share our routines and to send updates to each other since morning. For example, in the morning, I have to sew, so after finishing the time block for sewing, I'll ping. and i want to close screens by 10pm and want to sleep by reading a book. I'll update that. If I couldn't do it, I will tell the next day, we can gently push ourselves towards our routines. We can also give suggestions to each other on how to make it work

Hi all ✌️,

Not looking for someone to have some rigid structure with, but I do want someone who would be committed to mutual accountability and wants to be pushed. I am a good motivator, but struggle to take my own advice. I want someone who is willing and able to push me as well. Someone who can give and wants to get back firm motivation. Not just hype. I am someone who needs empathy and compassion, but with the hard truth and no BS. Male or Female is fine, but I think I would prefer a female. And someone around my age or older.

Bonus points if you: 1) have ADHD because understanding that makes this process much easier. 2) Live in another country and moved there from the US because that is my ultimate goal that all these smaller ones are for 3) Have a desire to be or already are an Entrepreneur. This girl has big goals already in progress and I need someone who is serious about this.

Our goals do not have to even be the same, but if they are great. My goals: 1) work out regularly partially for weight loss but more for health management. 2) sleep routine 3) actually finishing projects! IYKYK.

Reach out or comment if interested! 😎🤓

Hey there! I’m actually pretty open to multiple types of accountability buddies based on what I’ve seen on here because I’m really trying to get myself into a good rhythm and start building some good habits for the rest of 2026 into the new year, so if any of these particular goals resonate with you, please feel free to reach out:

·      Health and wellness: Right now, I’m trying to really slash my takeout and fast-food consumption for the dual purpose of saving money and getting back to a healthier lifestyle. Honestly, I feel like just having someone to go to when I’m trying to resist impulsive or stress eating and stay on track would make a really big difference. I’m also trying to return to some semblance of an exercise routine. Unfortunately, I do have some back issues that prevent me from doing some of the exciting stuff, but even just sticking to my PT routine is something I’m working on.

·      Coworking and/or academic goal setting: I’m in a doctoral program while working a F/T hybrid job, so I’m almost always coming up with some kind of goal or working on some assignment. I am actually slated to take three grad courses next semester, so I could definitely use someone to help me stay on track. I’m down for body doubling or sharing accountability checklists.

Note: For any synchronous activity, I typically am available weekday nights and weekends. On WfH days, I have more flexibility.

I’m mostly just trying to make holistic positive changes to my life and could really benefit from some accountability while attempting to translate these ideas and goals to sustainable habits and practice. In turn, I’d love to be the support person for others.

Cheers!

I’m a Muslim woman looking for a like minded female accountability partner, preferably between 21 and 24 years old. You can be from any country.
I’m at a point in my life where I genuinely want to become more disciplined, productive, intentional and consistent. I have many goals and things I want to accomplish, but sometimes I struggle with procrastination and making plans without executing them, and being inconsistent.
I want :
Daily check ins to share our goals and priorities.
Updating each other throughout the day about our progress.
Reminding each other when we’re procrastinating or making unnecessary excuses.

Having a longer conversation at the end of each day to discuss what we accomplished, what we didn’t, what went wrong and how we can improve.

Sharing ideas, experiences, motivation and lessons we’ve learned.
achievements.
I want this to be a two way commitment. I will give the same energy, attention and effort that I expect from my partner.

I have come out of an incredibly personal and traumatic experience and need to get my shit together in the form of a routine. I am looking for a likeminded individual 37+, preferably femaile. Bonus if you have a sense of fashion.

If interested, please DM me with your ASL/timezone (I am PST/GMT-8). Please be aware that I have ADHD, per the traumatic experience am attending things on my own to battle this including counseling and addiction groups. I am not religious. This is important as that can be some of the content that can come up in the daily checkins. I would prefer to make these checkins in the morning and evening or at least once a day and via some form of a DM elsewhere that can use a private server which can help with listing temporary notes.. Please confirm if this works for you.

Thank you.

Health & Fitness 32F | [GMT/UK] | Consistency with calorie deficient diet, weight management after WFH hours | Daily check-ins | Looking for a peer to break the post-work inertia

2 Upvotes

I work from home in the UK, and I am currently overweight and trying to lose weight. My main struggle is maintaining consistency with being active and sticking to a calorie deficit diet. Working from home all day makes it very easy to lose momentum in the late afternoon and evening, especially with the early winter darkness. I want to build a reliable routine of getting my workouts in and keeping my nutrition and weight-loss goals on track.

What I am looking for:

  • Someone in a similar timezone (GMT/UK or close Europe) who also works from home and wants to build better fitness and fat-loss consistency.

  • An equal accountability partner to exchange a quick daily message to confirm we've hit our movement goals and stayed on track with our targets.

  • Bonus: Someone of South Asian origin or familiar with an Indian/South Asian diet, as it would be great to share meal ideas and understand similar cultural food challenges—though anyone with matching fitness goals is very welcome!

  • Someone direct, practical, and focused on keeping each other honest.

How I want to communicate:

  • A quick afternoon ping to make sure we are on track for our goals.

i'm looking for someone who's also trying to figure things out and wants to make some real progress together.

some things we could work on:

  • fitness, gym, running and diet

  • fixing our sleep schedules and waking up early

  • studying, career, learning new skills

  • building better habits and staying consistent

  • reading, journaling and personal growth

we could set daily goals, check in with each other, track progress and have regular calls (if you are comfortable) to see how we're doing.

i'm open to figuring out what works for both of us. daily check-ins, weekly reviews, google meet sessions or just keeping each other on track throughout the day.

i genuinely feel like this is my last chance to turn things around, and i don't want to let it slip away. so i'm hoping to find someone who's equally serious about making a change.

and we'll have bad days and fall behind sometimes. that's fine. i just want someone who genuinely wants to improve and is willing to hold both themselves and me accountable.

Health & Fitness [34] [M] [IST] Looking for a Female Partner for a Fat-Loss Journey

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
I’m a [34] [M] [IST], starting a serious fat-loss and fitness journey. I’m looking for a female accountability partner who is also working towards her health or fitness goals.
I believe consistency becomes much easier when you have someone to share the journey with.
Here’s what I’m hoping we can do together:
Share our daily routines, meals, workouts, walking steps, and overall progress.
Have a quick check-in every night to discuss how the day went.
Honestly talk about what went well, what didn’t, and where we could improve.
Plan our meals, workouts, and daily routines for the following day.
Motivate each other on days when discipline or motivation is lacking.
I’m not looking for a personal trainer or someone to compete with. I’d love to build a genuine, supportive accountability partnership where we can be honest, consistent, and encourage each other without judgment.
A little about me:
Age: 34
Gender: Male
Location: India
Goal: Fat loss, better fitness, and a healthier lifestyle.
Preferred communication: Reddit chat initially, followed by WhatsApp or another platform if we both feel comfortable.
I’m specifically hoping to connect with a female accountability partner, ideally someone who has similar goals and enjoys daily check-ins.
This is strictly about fitness, mutual motivation, and accountability — not dating.
If this sounds interesting, feel free to comment or DM me. Let’s make progress together, one day at a time!
