I am new and need a buddy!
 

Hello all! I have been overweight for far too long and am finally doing something about it! I am doing Weight Watchers for the first time and love it so far! It's so easy to follow and doesn't seem like a diet.

I am a 25 yr old single mom to a 13 month old daughter and I need to lose weight for her as well as myself. I could stand to lose at least 100lbs but would love to lose about 150lbs.

Does anyone out there want to be my diet buddy? Age doesn't really matter, though I'd have more in common with someone near my age. Also I would have more in common with someone who had a lot of weight to lose, but that doesn't matter either.

I would love it if my buddies had AOL or Yahoo to chat in real time but private messaging on this site would be fine as well.

Hi Kathleen and everybody!

I'm also new and need a buddy. I'm 21, but I only have 25 pounds to lose, so I'm not sure I'm exactly what you're looking for. But I thought I'd piggyback on your thread instead of starting one of my own.

Last year I reached my highest weight (180lbs). I was studying abroad in Bristol, UK, and I managed to lose 30 pounds. Then I gained 10 back - I'm sure you all know the drill! Anyway, my goal is to be within the "normal" weight range for my height for the first time since puberty!

Anyone need a buddy? I don't have a preference for age or anything, but I'm not sure how much support I could be to someone with a lot of weight to lose.

Hi KathyPsu19, I am Sharon. I am a few years older than you. I am 29 but if you want to buddy up that would be great. I have both AIm and Yahoo, but I am on Yahoo more often and my SN there is scj1719. Make sure you let meknow if you are going to add me and what youe SN is because I decline anyone I don't know. Ran into to many strange people in the past!

Hi luey, I am in a pretty much similar situation to yourself. I am 22 and only need to loose about 30lbs. I, also, would like to be normal weight for my height. I am new to this game too, but hopefully I will get lots of useful tips and tricks from this website and a few others. Do you fancy buddying up? I use MSN most nights.
