New and could use a buddy - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

FlannelAnnie · 05-22-2005, 08:54 PM

I am a 41 yr old woman in Minnesota. I need to lose about 60 lbs. I know what I should eat (I'm a type II diabetic) and know how I should eat, but I fail time and time again. Right now I'm pretty addicted to carbs and I know I need to get off sugar. Sooooo a buddy to help me get back on track would be most excellent.

I'm 27 and I too need to lose 60 lbs. I started a thread in the support forum to get some encouragement. Then, I realized I probably ought to come in here and get a buddy to keep me accountable. I have a friend who is motivating me (she's lost 2 sizes in 2months), but I don't want to talk to her about it all the time. She used to be a personal trainer, so I get annoyed with her lingo sometimes. Are ya'll gonna post here daily? That's really what I need...daily accountability. Let's be a support group!

OKAY, so I'll start...I haven't done anything today. I'm gonig to get my bahonkus up now and do Leslie Sansones 1 mile. I ate cheese for lunch (that will probably change by the next time I post). Please read my big-long-post in the support thread to hear more about what's going on with me right now. I need help!

Hi Ladies...I'd love to join you. I need to lose around 20-25 lbs. I started WW a little over a week ago. Lost 2 lbs my first week. WI again this Friday. I'd love to be a part of your group. I turned 40 this past February...I'm married and have a 13 year old son, two shetland sheep dogs and a cat...all of whom I love dearly! I live on the Jersey shore and am terrified about putting on a bathing suit in the near future! Look forward to getting to know you all.

Well, ladies, today I finally I had a fairly good day. I have the exercise part down but the eating...uffda...that is hard. I love to eat! How are the rest of you doing?
