Looking for weight loss buddy with similar goals
Hello everyone! I am looking for someone with similar goals so we can help keep eachother on track. I am 5'6" and 181lbs. I started at 216 after having my son (who's now 21 months) and I've lost weight since, but I've fallen off the wagon and let my fitness goals fall by the wayside a few times along the way. My goal weight is 145lbs, but my goal my get lower when I get there.
Even before having my son, I was over weight, about 165lbs, so this is not just about getting to my pre-pregnancy weight, but about achieving a healthy weight for the first time. I am also an emotional eater, so I am learning to not to eat to "relax" or out of boredom. Anyone interested doesn't have to have the same story, I just thought I'd tell you a little about myself! :) Anyone interested in having a weightloss buddy? :high: |
GlamourGirl, I would like a weightloss buddy.;) I’m actually staring at my treadmill right now, trying to get myself motivated to get on it. I’m thinking about setting a mini goal of loosing 7 lbs by July 4. What do you say? Care to join me in a mini challenge?:tread::lifter::yoga:

Welcome to the boards! I am 5'3 and 175 and my goal weight is 145. I too am an emotional eater and eat when stressed, bored, anxious. I started out the month strong but when I hurt my back a week or so back have kinda fallen off the wagon too. Maybe we can help keep each other motivated!

How did you hurt your back? That's a coincidence, I did too, not seriously though, lifting a patient. I've done it before, and it just takes Ibprofen and a few weeks of being careful to get it back to normal. I can still jog in the treadmill,but lifting weights for certain muscles in my back hurt so I can't really do much until I feel better. Do you want to join our mini challenge? :cb::cb: |
Thanks for the motivation
:carrot::cb::broc:
I got on my treadmill and had a GREAT workout!! |
:bravo:Yeah!! Good job on the workout!! I saw your post and it gave me the :carrot::cb::broc: to get up and do a quick workout on the Wii before my son got up from his nap. Thos dancing veggies and banana really do the trick!

I'm all about the mini challenge! I am in the same boat...hurting my back recently. I am a "bored" eater.
I would like motivational buddies! I'm a good motivator, but I need someone to give me a lift/push once in a while! |
Hi Samantha! Welcome to the board! :wel3fc:
I have found that boredom, for me, is my worst enemy! I have decided to sign on to this board and if I have to post in every room I will!! Ok, maybe I won't post that much!! But I will be posting instead of eating! I suggest everyone do the same. And the best part is, when you get on here, you will find the motivation to workout! I was "bored" and the old me would have when searching for a snack, but instead I when on this board, and then was motivated by LostandLonely and the dancing veggies + banana to get a quick Wii workout in!! :carrot::cb::broc: Glad to here you are up for the challenge! What is your mini goal? I suppost we can put our mini goals in our signatures. |
Just welcoming you aboard! :)
