In need of some serious buddies!
 

Hello everyone,

Well I am back and am ready to get serious, the holidays are over so I cannot use that as an excuse anymore! :nono:

A little about myself, I am a 37 year old female from Ontario Canada. I follow counting calories as that seems to work for me.

I made a promise to myself in December that I need to stick with this and wanted to set some sort of goal for my birthday at the end of July.

I know I can do this and just would love to make some support friends in the process as I find having someone to talk to who understands my struggles just helps me keep going and positive.

I would love to have some diet buddies, to email or join a group or maybe start a support group.

I am very serious about this and will stick by my buddies, I will do my best to offer support and a ear to listen and any advice I can offer.

Thank you for reading my post and hope to make some great friends out of this!

Stacey :^:

:welcome2: Stacey!

We have a Calorie Counters forum and a 30-Somethings as well as many others. Take a look around and post where you feel like it.

Hi Stacey,

You'll find many support groups around here :) Some based on age, or how much to lose, some based on which program they're following, or on common interests.

Take your time, look around & post wherever you're comfortable!

Best of success!

Stacey,

I just joined and your call out for "buddies" jumped out to me. I danced around my weight issue all last year and realize I need to get serious about getting it moving in the downward direction. So I am, as well, looking for buddies to keep me motivated.

Hi Melissa!

:wel3fc:

Make sure to post wherever you're comfortable :)

I'll be a buddy!
 

Stacey,

I've been dancing around the weight issue for years. I'm a first-timer to 3fc and am hoping that somehow I become motivated.
Glad to meet you,
Jana:dizzy:

You can do it, Stacey!!!
:welcome:

Thank you Kelleigh, Faerie, and Coffee Luver for your warm welcomes! :)

Jana, hello to you also! I read your post and welcome to the site! I stepped on the scales this morning also to a big surprise! At the end of March I was down to 208, as of this morning, 240....yeah not so good! Since I did get down to 208 to begin with, I know I can do it again! Maybe we can help support each other through this journey! :D

We're the same weight, the same age, and use the same method. Twins! :)

Eiluj *LOL* I think its fate! Its a sign of good things to come for us! :)

Nice to meet you!
 

I notice that you had already lost some weight before posting this topic, congrats! Your starting weight and mine are pretty close, although I haven't really lost anything significant yet. Anyway, I need to meet lots of encouraging friends, too, so I'll leave you with a dancing carrot and wish you luck!

:carrot:

Rosie

Ditto what Rosie said!

Hi! Me too, in need of some serious buddies. :(

I feel I am ready for a change, but I know I cannot do it alone.

Rosie, thanks for the congrats, though I am not too happy with myself as I was down to 208 this past March, as you can see right now I am not near that as of today......bleh :(
Just take it day by day, it doesn't matter how much you have lost so far, its that you are taking the steps to change your life! :)

Well everyone, looks like we have quite a few new people that are looking for support and encouragement. So should we start a support group?

iluvfall, I've joined the CC Valentine's Day Challenge and the January--One reason you will stay on your plan today and am considering the January Points Challenge (even though I'm a little late).

Thanks bud, I have checked out a couple of those threads! Good suggestions! :)

Hi Stacey, welcome to 3FC! I would love to be your buddy 'cause you sound like a wonderfully positive person and I could really use someone like you in my life!

Hi Dirtybird78 and welcome! Sure sign me up, the more support we have the better! :)

Well you wouldn't think I was so positive at work today.....more like negative nelly *LOL* :lol:

Hi tanyaledet2009 and welcome!
It is a great site with lots of support and great people! Everyone is very friendly and helpful. :)
Look forward to hearing about how you are doing!

Hi everyone, haven't heard from some of you in a few days, just wanted to say hello and hope everyone is having a good week! :)

Any new members looking for some new buddies or support I am looking for buddies myself! :D

Hi everyone. I have been on this site for awhile now. Was doing really good even was this close to by goal of 165(I was at 173). Anyway life got bad with ex grrrrrrrr and then slowly got to where I was motivated and some of the buddies that I was chatting with here left and I did too. I have recently restarted this journey and was looking for buddies myself. Just want to let you know that I am here that is ifin you need more buddies. After all we can't have too much support or shoes for that matter.

Hi gigglez and welcome back! :)
Sorry to hear about the problems with the ex :( But am glad you are starting back! I am always looking for buddies, as you said you can never have enough support! :)
Thanks for replying to my post!
