Default Looking for a Serious, Committed Buddy.

I am twenty-one years old, and I weigh 248 lbs. I've been overweight for 10 years, but I gained nearly 55lbs in the past two. It's been so hard. I'm the only one in my family with a weight problem, and I'm tired of being the one that everyone stares at every family gathering.

In high school, all of my friends were overweight, but they used their senior year to drop lbs before going off to college. I didn't join them, because I thought that dieting would be admitting to the world that I was fat. It was a mistake. I am still fat, and now I don't have anyone to buddy with. I have only one plus-sized friend, and she says she's happy with her weight.

I can't keep doing this. It's so hard. I can never find anything to wear. When I shop, I have to go to specialty stores for plus-sized women, and they never carry anything long enough. I just don't have the money. Plus-sized clothes are always so expensive. I am so embarassed by the way I look.

I can't do this alone. I need help. I would like a buddy. Someone who is supportive and willing to check in every day or so would be excellent. I've just started the South Beach diet, and it might help if we're on the same diet. It isn't necessary. I will do everything I can to support a buddy who is willing to do the same.

Thank you. I'll look into both of them as soon as I'm a little more comfortable navigating the boards.

I've been hangin' around these boards or a while now, so I'm not new, but I still love to have buddies to/for support! I'm 23, and I'm online all day at work (6am-2pm Eastern), plus I work a part-time job from home that is on the computer, so I'm usually on in the evenings, too. I have more to lose than you--I want to get down to 150 and am currently at 279, but it's a long battle either way. I have done South Beach before and am considering giving it another try--there are some AWESOME recipes here on the South Beach boards! Drop me a line if you'd like

Hi,all!

I've been on here before but lost my motivation and have gained about 5 more pounds. I've finally come to the realization that I need help! I would love to have a buddy who's on the Low Carb Diet because that's what I'm starting. I'm currently about 220 and my goal weight is 150 so I have a long road ahead of me. If you would like to be my buddy please feel free to message me.
