are you looking for a local buddy or is long distance ok? What plan are you going to use?
I have about 70lbs to loose myself and am fast approaching 30 (I'll be 26 in October). I need someone to be accountable to.
I'm Kerry and I'm doing the Abs Diet in South Florida.

LOL 25 may not be fast approaching 30 for some, but with two small kids the years seem to already be flying by.... 26 is less than 2 months away, and I swear that I just turned 21 a few weeks ago

So what is everyone doing to lose weight here?? I already said that I'm doing the Abs Diet (6 small meals a day, portion control, healthy carbs, lots of fruits and veggies, low fat with an exercise regimen), but I'm interested in what everyone else is doing, too....

I'll buddy up too. Last year I counted calories and was successful at loosing weight. I'm starting the same way again this year. I find it works best with a hectic schedule. I'm also going to try to limit white flour foods and increase protein (which I always seem to lack in my diet). What do people feel about wine - none? some? I have a glass a few times a week - very relaxing after a long and busy day.

IMHO, 2-3 drinks per weeks TOPS is okay....... I won't have more than that, though......
JMHO.....

Count me in! This last year has been unbelievable....I did manage to maintain my 20 lb loss from early 2003. I am now 180.6. my highest was 202. I am TRYING the low carb thing. A car accident in early April put a kink in my exercising. I am trying to pick up Pilates again and meditating. It helped before. I am tracking everything that I put in my mouth with fitday.com It really makes a huge difference and I see what i need to cut back on and what I need to get more of....

I have before and after pictures, I'm updating my website so it will take a couple days to get the link up for you

Default Wow!

Amber, you are an inspiration for me.

I keep checking in as this is my first day. Every time I get a craving I check into this website for a new tip or helpful quote.

I find that everytime the kids get to me, I reach for food. Actually food has been my "drug" for so long that there are a lot of habits to break.

Thanks all for the inspiration. I can't do it alone either. I love hearing your stories.

- Mo

Found this website last week and have been on it every day so far. Certainly helps being able to talk to like minded people with similar goals and worries!
