20-something needs to lose 45 pounds -Buddies?
 

Hey everyone,

Just joined the site. I've been struggling with my weight for as long as I can remember. I lose and gain weight like a bad habit and I just can't seem to stabilize.

I've been doing WW flex points since the beginning of March and I'm down about 12 pounds. I've lost 30 pounds over the last year but I still have about 45 more to go until I reach my goal of 130. Having buddies who are going through the same thing would be tremendously helpful.

A little about me: I'm 25 years-old, just got engaged (yesterday actually!), I've been with my boyfriend for the past five years and he is totally wonderful, supportive, and amazing. He's in pretty exceptional physical health so I'd really like to be there too, mostly for me but also for him. I'm a counseling psychology grad student as well, it takes up pretty much all of my free time, but I adore what I do even though it's really really hard. I work at a university (not the same one I attend) and I really like my job, I am in the Communication Studies department - so I'm around a bunch of really interesting and creative people, it's fun and I feel pretty lucky to work with such cool people.

I live in Cambridge, Massachusetts, I love it here for cultural reasons, but even though I grew up in Mass sometimes these cold winters really get me down. But in Sping the city is beautiful so sometimes I forget all about snow piled up to my eyeballs.

I love music, going to shows when I can, reading, writing, swimming. I ride my bike all over the city, to work and school and everywhere else and I love that too.

So those are the basics. I'm very open and would love to meet new people who share common goals.

Nice to meet you all!

Hi Cobweb, my name is Jessica, i am from Arlington, TX but work in fort worth at the zoo. I am 22 years old and i need to loose 40-45 pounds. I also have gone up and down on my weight, i just cant really stay commited to keep doing it. I lost alot of weight at one point on diet pills, but i really want to do it this time the healthy way. I started at the begining of march working out and just watching my calories, this past week i have been sick with a stomach virus so havent hit the gym, but havent eaten very well either. I have lost only 6 pounds and quite a few inches, i just really want to get back on track, if you would like you can email me. Hope to talk to you soon.

Hey Jessica,

Let's definitely talk! I love the picture of your dog in your profile, I live in an apartment building and can't have dogs right now. When eventually I have a house that will be one of the first things I do. :)

I will email you soon!

oh yea i love dogs, he is bigger than that now, his name is mojo. I use to live in an apartment and could never have a dog becuase it was just too expensive, so as soon as i got a house, i got the dog the next week. I love him.

oh well, cant wait to hear from ya.

Jessica :cool:

Hey Deanne ;)

I ususally eat Healthy Choice or lean cuisine dinners for lunch, breakfast i always have a yogurt and a nutrigrain bar, with a sugar free red bull. I love for a snack, the 100 calorie bags of popcorn. The whole bag is 100 calories and trust me i eat the whole bag, with a pickle of course. :p . For dinner i try to make stuff, but since only couple of days i ago i didnt have a refrgerator i couldnt buy alot of frozen dinners, cause i couldnt keep them frozen. But now i have a frig so im set ;) .

talk to you soon
Jessica

Wow, we dont have any 100 cal popcorn bags here. I also eat reduced fat kraft parmesan on my popcorn. And I have at least one pickle a day. I could eat them by the jar. Sad I know.
I think we keep posting at the same time!

I LOVE PICKLES, kosher are my favorite. i'm gonna try parmessan.

Hey girls. I am 21 and looking to lose that amount also. If not more. I also am doing WW feel free to email me! I need a buddy. [email protected]
