Hello Everyone!!!

I am in need of BUDDY!!!! Please if there is anyone out there who can give me some motivation, tips, ideas, anything ~ I would greatly ppreciate it!!!

Here is a little about me:

I am Jen, a soon to be 30yr (in Sept) and a sahm of 2 girls (8 & 6) living in NE Ohio. I have pretty much had a little weight problem most of my live (20 to 30lbs), but after my second child, it all went down hill.

I just keep gaining wieght, I am now over 100lbs over weight. And, with each pound gained the engery LOSS is doubled.

I find myself saying - "Oh, I'm sorry honey, mommy can't do so&so, because she is to big or tierd." How sad is that!!!! I can't play with my kids because it is to uncomfortable, or I'm to tired. That just is not right.

Before my weight gets too out of control I want to do something about it. I am lucky that so far I do not have any major medical problem. But... I can already notice changes in my body and know that I'm going to start happening. This is NOT the kind of role model I want to be for my kids!!!!

The 1st step to correcting problem is knowing that you have a probem right? I now realize how bad my diet is, and just how lazy I have become. Currently, I can not afford to go to the gym, but I am willing to workout at home and i am willing to change my diet. I am NOT a cook by any means and really do not like any veggies, but i am willing to take baby steps and I can follow directions pretty well.

If you are looking for a buddy or to be a buddy please let me know. I now have my PC all connected so I can be online or I have unlimited long distance on my phone, so I can communicate that way too.

Thanks for listening to my ramblings,

Jen

I'm a 34 yo at home mom of 4. I've also got over 100 lbs to lose and want to take it one step at a time so that I don't crash and burn once again.

I'd love to talk and work each other through this!!!

Hi Jen,
My name is Kerry. I am 33 years old and have had a weight problem since my teenage years. Family stress with illness started it off, going to college and working two part-time jobs and then moving 3 hours from my family topped off my weight problem. It wasn't until I met my husband 4 years ago that I was really willing to try to lose weight and be healthy. You see he has three children twin boys who are 8 and a girl who is 10. I couldn't keep up with them or play with them and that was my wake-up call. So I started to eat healthier and workout. I have changed my diet. I try to cut out all sweets, candy, junkfood, pop, sweet tea, and eat lots of meat, veggies, fruits, yogurt, and drink iced tea with no sugar, diet pop, and lots and lots of water. I try to do some form of excerise each day. I either workout at Curves, do a walking video (leslie Sansone), tae bo video,walk outside or play games with my stepkids that has me up and moving. Plus I joined a support group called TOPS. It is a great weight loss support group. It only cost $24.00 a year to the national organization. Then I pay $2.50 to my local group and it cost $.25 for private weigh-ins and $.10 per pound gain. You can check out the TOPS website www.tops.org for more information.
I would love to help you on your weight-loss journey. Feel free to pm and I will give you my contact information (email and phone number) .
Look forward to chatting with you.
Kerry
