Would love a diet buddy - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

hali · 01-02-2010, 02:13 AM

Hi,

I am 307 lbs and I have taken the New Year Leap to lose weight. I'm 57 and my health is poor. My children are grown and I live alone which in some respects can make dieting easier (not having to cook those family meals) but in other ways, makes it more difficult with comfort eating. I really want to succeed and I would love to lose weight with a buddy so we could support each other.

I live in Tasmania Australia. It would be wonderful if I also made a friend as I lost weight.

Cheers

Hi Hali!
I know it can feel overwhelming - for me, it has been helpful to take it a step at a time and soon the small changes have added up to great results - the support you need is here - we'll all be here to cheer you on.

Glad to have you join us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated and inspired. There's also info and first hand advice on different eating plans and exercise to help choose the right ones for you and get through the ups and downs.

There are bunches of people here with more to lose and some with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.

I've only been here a few months myself, having NEVER been part of an online forum. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of going off track or giving up. It has made all the difference in my success so far.

So welcome - you 've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!

All the best - good luck with your goals,
Lee
