| By Martha Edwards on workout Filed under: Fitness, Healthy Relationships  One of the best things you can do if you're serious about losing weight is enlisting a friend to take the journey with you. It helps to have someone to motivate you, and also someone you are accountable to in case you feel like taking a nosedive off the wagon. But if you are recruiting a weight-loss buddy, make sure you choose wisely because that buddy can mean the difference between success and failure. Here are some tips from Fitsugar:
- Pick someone who is fair and honest but not downright mean
- Choose someone who has your best interests in mind, who won't enjoy seeing you fail and begrudge you if you do well
- Find someone with similar goals. If you want to lose 100 lbs and your friend wants to lose 10, it might not work.
- Enlist someone who you see regularly, but not someone that you live with
- Choose someone who likes the same rewards as you. If your friend is a guy, he's probably not going to be motivated by the chance to shop for that perfect little black dress.
