Buddy Group Idea
 

So, I was thinking if anyone was intrested in forming a little mini group.


In this group we could:

get to know each other... maybe by filling out a questionair or something
send e-mails/ e-cards
Snail mail
pick me ups

and what not.......so it's like a little group of buddies.....

I don't know if this is a good idea or not but if anyone is intrested... I'm game.


(I'm 24, I need to lose like 50 lbs. for my long term goal.... I live in central Califorinia)

1 person IMed me wanting to do it.... so if anyone else wants to do it.... let me know

Ready and Willing
 

I'd like to join
 

Sounds like a good idea, I'd like to join in. I'm Kathy, I have lost 36, need to lose 37 more for my "mini goal" of getting to 199. Hopefully the next 36 will come off faster than the last!
