where i could find a place (a website) where you can meet people in your area, that could possibly be looking for weight loss buddies? I would just love to have somebody to go to the gym with every day, and keep me on track. i didn't notice any area specific places on this forum.

I would try Craigslist. But you'd probably be better off doing whatever exercise you want to do and try to meet people who are doing the same thing.

IE take a class and strike up a conversation with a few people, be chatty in your gyms locker room, look for other people jogging in your neighborhood etc.

How about www.meetup.com? I've never used it, but I know of people who have.

I second that. It's a safer bet too!
