Looking for a buddy
 

I'd love to find a few buddies to help me and let me help them, how do I go about doing this and making a good match?

Lol we are all your buddies! But what I would think would be a good match is someone who is silimar to you in how much weight you need to lose, and where in the program you are so you could root eachother on and make sure eachother stays on task. Come to think of it, I have about 32.8 lbs to lose now, and I have been on IP for a week on Friday, so we have very similar stats! I'LL be your buddy! Haha ;)

Aw I'll be your buddy too! I am right about where you are, and our goals are similar too. We can keep each other accountable and complain on bad days. :hug:
We will get there. Let me know if you need anything or want to chat!

I wanna buddy too!!!! Pick me Pick me! Someone!! *emulates a cute abandoned puppy*:wave::wave:

I'm pretty much right where you are now and headed where you're headed. It's true though, everyone really ends up being your buddy. :)

I'm on day 4 and you are ALL my buddies! Let's do this! :carrot:

im a night bird too so will be on here till the little hours. Working night shift so this is great for passing time ;)

I recommend finding people who start at the same time, not with the amount of weight to lose. It's amazing how close you will get over the next few months.

I need a buddy too...just starting week 8! Can I join in?

I'm just starting week 4 and would like a buddy that started around the same time with the same amount to lose if there's someone out there! Of course you are all my buddies - really appreciate these message boards. No one in my world understands what I'm doing.

I asked for a buddy too on a posts, one person volunteered....SUCKER...jk wuv2be...you are awesome!! Anyway, we are all in it together.....I know I friended my buddy on facebook so we can im and that was helpful. I am only in week 1.....

No one ever understand what we go through in our world, they think all we do is eat when most of us don't. I'll take on another buddy! We can do like Josey and I do on Facebook if you have it.

Josey....I am happy and didn't get suckered in at all, I am very glad to do it!

I'll have to join you ladies on FB. Josey and I are at similar weights now but I have a bit more to lose but know that I need all of the support that i can get. I'm great at starting diets and finding all kinds of odd ones (my friends call them psycho diets) but I am not so great at sticking to them. I have committed to sticking to this one.

Thanks Wuv, you have been awesome....texted her today while visiting EVERY grocery looking for rhubarb and WF products, texted her I was starving and wanting snack food instead of snacking!! Buddies help

Sounds good Loriab, I am Michelle Sims Josey on fb when you try to find me, just know who to look for requesting friend (I teach High School, so don't friend if I don't know them or if they are students). Lots of people call me Josey, so don't worry :)

Hi Josey, I'll log on now and look for you guys. Wuv sent me a private message yesterday so I think I have her info. I just haven't had time to search. My name is Lori by the way.

Sounds good Lori.....I have to see how to private message....time to run to CVS now and go couponing :) NO JUNK,NO CANDY ,NO CHOCOLATE....off I go.

Hey girls! I am always up for offering support and advice. I think we all go through essentially the same struggles but in a different way. My struggles are the weekends, but they are getting better. I always try to offer up what works for me or doesn't or if I am trying something different on any given week. I am the guinea pig for my doctors office, and I workout, so sometimes my protocol is a little bit different.

This week, for example, my doc wants me to do 5 packets a day on days I workout. I did this a couple of days last week, just b/c I was pretty hungry on those days, and I had a pretty good WI. So he wants to see what happens if I do 5 on most days. Could mean I will have a nice big whoosh, or could be a complete dud. But that is the price to pay for being the test study for them. :)

Would love to join the group as well - finishing Day 3 and ready for bed. Feeling so-so but knowing it will get better certainly helps! :hug:
