I'm 37 and I live in Houston. I have over 80 pounds to lose, and am really in need of a buddy to give me support. I've tried every fad out there, and I'm sure some of them would work if I stuck to them.

Anyway, I want to do it the right way this time. Eating sensibly, and working out. I know that trying to do it fast isn't going to work.

Anyone willing to help me out?

Hi Catgirl! Which diet plans do you think you'd have the best chance at sticking with? That might help you round up a buddy a little easier.

Good for you for not trying to rush it. It sounds like you are ready this time.

BTW - How far is Houston from Austin? There is a thread just a few down from here from newbies in Austin looking to lose in the 50's and 60's.

Hello! I am 35 and have made the committment to lose weight! I have been working on it for a little while and have lost around 29 pounds! I have reached under 200 for the first time in about 9 years!

I would love to have a buddy to support and encourage - and someone to help me along the way! Please PM me if you are interested!

Best of luck! You can do it!

I'm north of Houston, but much younger. It might seem weird?

Hi!

I have 80+ pounds to lose too. I also need help too, by doing it the same way as you - by eating right and exercising. I feel if I follow any one fad diet the fat eventually will all come back if I ever go off it. I like combining aspects I agree w/from different diets, that are right for me and just making it work for myself...personalizing a diet and turning it into a lifestyle is very important, IMO, for lasting results.

The more support, the better. Feel free to PM me if ya wanna chat or be email buddies.
