Anyone want a British Buddy? - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Hello!

I am hoping I can Buddy up with someone here, for daily mutual support.

Live: SW of England
Family: DH 36 and DS 22 months
Me: 33 year old Chemistry teacher

When my son was 12 weeks old I followed the ww diet for 9 weeks and dropped from 185 lbs to 160 lbs - I found that pretty easy as I was BFing and there were no leftovers of his to tempt me. Then Christmas 04 came, then he started solids and I started hoovering them up! So, here I am 15 lbs or so up from that! I have started countless diets since then but all have clearly failed. I REALLY need to do this now, it is getting me down.

I'm not sure what my final goal will be - 128 would be great but, realistically, 140 would be wonderful - ****, 160 would be pretty damn good! I have decided to break it down into BMI numbers, which for me is 6 lbs.

I am keen to get fit as well as slim so exercise will have to be a big feature of my weight-loss regime. I like the ww points system and I am also quite tempted by body-for-life.

Anyone fancy a buddy?

Hi Zeke, Don't get discouraged! I'm sure there will be lots of people dropping by. I would love to buddy up with you, but I have a lot more to lose than you do, so you may prefer to find someone with a similar goal. (my goal weight is higher than your starting weight

) I'm reading the Body for Life book, and I am working on his exercise plan, but I'm doing something different for the food portion.

I had to laugh about your hoovering up the leftovers comment. I think many of us Moms do that. I've finally learned to tell myself "I'm not a human trash can. I'm not a human trash can. I'm not a human trash can..."

There are also specific forums for WW and for Body for Life, if you're interested.

You are more than welcome to come join in at the UK forum Zeke.

Or any of the other forums you will find buddies that way.
