New to the site, looking for a buddy! Need to lose ALOT!
 

Im new to this site, and its wonderful! Everyone is so positve and it has really helped me to start out! I am 25 years old and am 317 lbs...my goal is to get to 160 or so...somewhere around where I should be... I am really going to do this and was looking for a buddy or 2 to help along the way!! :carrot:

Hello Buddy!!
 

hi! My name is Lori and I am 32 . When I weighed myself on 1-3-06 I weighed 270lbs. My goal is to weigh 170lbs or 180lbs again and I would love to be your buddy!! I am currently following thw weight watcher plan since it offers the most flex for me ( I have a husband and 3 small children I cook for so I need to be able to fix one meal that every one can eat) also it seems to be the most realistic for me. I need something that is a lifestyle change and to me weight watchers is it.

Let me know if you are interested in being buddys,

Lori :)

I too need buddies!! I am new to this and need help being held accountable... I am starting WW and am excited!!

Hi there! I agree, everyone has been supportive and friendly so far. I have a lot of weight to lose as well...and I am in the middle of my first week and am dying to get on the scale and see if I have progressed, but my husband hid it because I was always looking at my weight...:dizzy:

I'd love another buddy or two as well!! Let me know!

Can I be a part of your buddy system here as well. I'd love to check back here often for some chat on diets, exercise and share in encouragment.

I gained a lot of weight during my first pregnancy. My baby was born last August and have a lot of weight to lose. I can get easily discouraged to coming here might help. I am currently on the Atkins diet and am on day 3. I have not weighed myself yet but feel as though I am losing weight. I promised myself I would wait at least a week before I weighed myself again. Giving the diet to kick in a bit. Now I just need to start working out!

Hopefully I will have more time tomorrow to respond to each of you individually...keep up the good work!

I am also looking for a buddy, I am a 34 Yr old man (is that unusual here?) I weigh 260-I have weighed 330 at my highest, 230 at my lowest. I was seemingly doing very well through this previous summer,(230) but I have recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, painful, sometimes debilitating, but otherwise not scary. anyways, I am now at home on disability and eating like there is no tomorrow, I am married and am the primary child care provider for our daughter (Abbey, 18months) I keep a food/calorie/feelings diary which is helpful but I think about food CONSTANTLY and have plenty of time...
