New Fatty lookin' for a Buddy
 

Hey everyone-

I'm a 23 yr. old chick brand spankin' new to this site. I currently weigh just a hair under 200 lbs, and I am 5'4". Yummy, huh? I think hitting the 200 mark is what is really starting to give me the kick in the butt I have long been needing. I have starting working out and watching what I eat (baby steps, but steps nonetheless) in hopes of someday hitting my goal weight of 115.

What I am looking for (and I hope this request isn't seen as like, totally off the reservation) is another female with a similar goal with whom I can keep in touch with via this site or email. I do have friends around here who want to lose weight, but it always seems our close proximity inevitably eventually leads us to throw in the proverbial towel and bee line to the nearest Taco Bell. I think maybe having an online penpal would be nice, plus, I think I can be a little more truthful online (it's hard to let even my closest friends know I weigh 200).

So if you are a 20-something chick looking to lose a similar amount of weight, and would be interested in having an online penpal to hold you to it, let me know!

Hi there Jess :) Just wanted to welcome you to 3FC. There are definitely people all over that need a weight loss buddy to keep us going. I use the whole site and all the various different threads to keep myself in line. There's so much support around here. Have a look around :) Post wherever you're comfortable!

I agree ^^. This whole site is like a bunch of penpals with weekly menu planning and weigh ins. If you still need someone more one on one I'm sure there are lots of people who have your same goals in mind!

Looking for a penpal also!
 

Hey!! I'm Chelsea! I'm 20 years old and am also new to the site!! And I actually joined to look for a penpal with similar interests!! I just need someone who is going through similar things and can talk about it!!

I'm currently counting points (like Weight Watchers- only I don't attend meetings) and taking SlimQuick, and trying to exercise (easier said than done- I'm a full time Nanny and then have to come home and take care of my own home!) !

Hit me up if you're interested in becoming a penpal!!!!

Hi Jess - I totally understand the local friend dilemma. I, too, would love to have someone to correspond with. I'm at about 220 lbs now and want to get down to about 145. So I have about 75 more to go if I did my math right. Feel free to send me a private message or check out my wordpress blog (that username is the same as mine here). Good luck!
