Default Looking for a buddy....

I was a member here for a while, last summer, and had lost 20 something lbs... I've since gained back about 10 - 15 lbs.

Anyway, I'm looking for a buddy for support, motivation and a little butt kicking every once in a while

I'm 24 years old, and will be 25 this June. I do not want to be a size 20/22 when my birthday comes this year. I'm tired of being overweight, and yet I cant seem to motivate myself to exercise! I was doing WW last summer, and had great success with that, and have been trying to count points again. I started last week, and did ok for a few days, and then just couldn't say op. I still kept track of everything though.

I've been overweight for most of my life, and I don't want to be anymore.

More about me - I'm 24 years old, I'm not married, but am living with my boyfriend of 7 years. I have an adorable little fur kid, named Cocoa. He's a Chihuahua, and I'm sure he'd love it if I were to take him for more walks I don't have any children, I work in a dental office, so at work, I'm pretty sedentary. I need to work out in the morning, otherwise I wont do it. I live in Jackson, MI.

Please feel free to PM me for email address, IM names etc

Hey - hows it going?

I just joined today....read your post and seems we have some stuff in common. I'm 24, 25 in July and from Ireland. I work in IT and am sat on my bum all day...I've joined weightwatchers twice and after a few weeks I just never went back.

This time I took my time - I turned veggie about a year ago and tried to settle into that before I went the weightwatchers road again...now I'm ready! I'm following the points thingy but only at home. I still weigh myself each week and do still track what I eat.

As for exercise; I joined a yoga class and really enjoy it. I also took 'improvers' swimming lessons...I find that because I have commited to these classes it MAKES me go :-) sucessful so far :-)

I think where I miss is that I love being active but if I don't go for a few days then I lose the routine and it just gets harder to go back....

What about you? why start then stop?

Thanks for the support sunshine! Good luck with your weight loss too!

Finn - There isn't really a good reason as to why I stopped. I moved last October, and just put it on hold ever since then. There really isn't any excuse... I guess I just got tired of it, and was busy with moving, and I just let become my excuse I'm doing WW at home too, I think maybe in the next few months when $$ get more under control, I'm going to look into joining a gym or WW. When I have to pay for something like a gym membership, I tend to go more often

I agree that when you loose the routine, its harder to get back on track. I'm having issues with getting back into my exercise routine. I HAVE to work out in the morning before work, otherwise I wont do it when I get home. I know that. Its just SOO much easier to stay in bed at 5:30 am, than get out of bed and work out But I'm trying. Today I walked on my lunch break, its about .7 of a mile, so its a start.

Please feel free to PM me Finn, anytime!
