I workout consistently, even with a full time job and two kids, I always find time to workout. People keep asking me to be their accountability partner. I have done it a few times. It was a waste of time for me. They could see that I worked out on a shared app (think Peloton or Garmin Connect), but what's the accountability? Do they want me to make sure they are working out too? What if you're going for a long hike and I can see that on the app but then you eat a large pizza by yourself? That doesn't work for a weight loss goal.

Has anyone successfully been an accountability partner or had one? What kind of support am I supposed to give that isn't annoying (I ran 5 miles today, what did you do?!)
