I've been reading some of the threads, but haven't time to go through all the ones from this week, so thought I'd try this.
I'm working Dr Phil's 7 keys and would love a buddy for that, but for food I'm doing WW flexpoints as Dr Phil's food plan is too harsh for me, right now anyway.
I think I have a great sense of humor, but who doesnt? I live by email, so will be pretty active, and if I'm not you need to kick my butt!
I'm a Unix Sys Admin by profession, live in Colorado now, but have lived all over the US.
I'm doing a Valentine's challenge of 10 lbs, work out (or try to) at Ladies Workout Express - a curves type circuit.
Hope this resonates with somebody out there!

Hello Kim.
Your life sounds interesting. I am only 25 but I am a mother with a 6 year old and a 18 month old and do try to get on the computer when ever I can which is alot. I have a boring job as a cashier and tho at times life is hectic I try to do a little of everything. I live in Indiana and am trying to loose some weight and get more energy.

If you need to talk you can send me a PM or we can email.. mine is [email protected]

Hi Kim and Stephanie,

I'd love an email buddy. My motivation is high right now, but it'll start sliding about February!!

I have 50+ pounds to lose, I'm down 5 so far by eating more fruits and vegetables and being careful after dinner--that's my downfall. I lay on the couch eating, and reading diet and fitness books! I think losing weight is harder for me after hitting my 40s, but persistence will win out.

I've heard good things about Dr. Phil. I've put a hold on his book at the library. I hear he doesn't like excuses! Sounds like I need him.

I want to finish a sprint triathlon this summer and am slowly working my way up the cardio scale. I like running, though I'm slow. Biking and swimming are more of a challenge. I use freeweights and videos here at home for strength training and have actually been using them (well, for a week!). I'm a starter-and-stopper with exercise.

You can reach me at [email protected], if you'd like to team up.

Good luck to us all!

Clary
