Smile Looking for a diet buddy

I'm coming back for round two. With the help of some buddies I made on this site about 4 years ago I was able to lose almost 60 pounds. I then proceeded to gain all the weight back, slowly at first, then within the last 6 months (since having my gallbladder removed- not sure if that is a coincidence) I gained back 30 pounds and now am at my heaviest weight. I am 27 years old, married, no kids (yet!). I had great success last time with weight watchers doing a flex plan but find it much more difficult now that I am a vegetarian. I had been trying Slim Fast/ counting calories for almost a month and while I lost 3 pounds the first week, I began gaining again!

I'd love to find a weight loss buddy, as I find sometimes it is easier to resist temptation when I have another person to hold me accountable. If anyone is interested- even once a week, just to check in, I am very open. I am hopeful that using this site will help me achieve the success I previously found!

Hey Vanessa

Welcome! I would love to buddy up for a more diligent and responsible diet control myself. I tried to send a private message to you but it didn't agree,
I am a vegetarian too, actually I am Indian. Married for 6 years with 2 kids, almost 4 yr girl and 8 mnth Boy.

While I do not follow a specific diet plan. I count calories, watch what I eat, avoid fried food. But while I cook for my family, I sometimes slip.. well make it most times,

I live in Dallas, TX and I am 31.
I hope you will be the inspiration I am looking for. I started this journey at 234on May 23rd, my birthday.
I am now at 209 but I am stuck there the past 4 weeks. 4 looong weeks,

Hope to hear from you soon,
Neelu

Hello! I am 25 years old. I had my gallbladder removed last November and have gained a lot of weight since then as well. I am just starting out on Weight Watchers, doing it at home. I would love to have a buddy as well!

Hi! I would love to be your buddy. I need someone to check in with as well -- probably a couple of times a week, though! This is my first time on this site -- I haven't been able to kick start the weight loss process and I'm hoping 3fatchicks will help. It looks like we have similar weight loss goals, so maybe we'd be well matched? I'm 34 and single, living in Chicago, working at a stressful job where I sit behind a desk all day. I need some motivation!

The more the merrier in my opinion! I would absolutely love all the help I can get...as well as all the help I can give!
