32, Married no kids, Dog Lover, looking for friends - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

MTHead · 07-14-2006, 01:25 PM

I am 32, married with no children (might want them in the next few years). I am a professional and work full time in DC. I have 2 collies. I have problems staying motivated and thought maybe if I had a buddy it would be easier for me. I count WW points and try to go to the gym 3 days a week. I have no "event" for which I am losing weight, which I think is good and bad - good b/c I won't be disappointed, but bad b/c it is easy to get sidetracked and not really care that much.
I also love to cook and gardening (flowers and herbs this year b/c I don't get enough sun for veggies).
Hope to hear from someone soon!
Thanks!

Welcome to 3FC! Have you been over to the WW forums? If you don't find a specific buddy here, you can probably get one there. Are your babies by chance chubby? We have a pudgy pets forum, too. I'm always looking for good advice on diet food for my Rubenesque Chihuahua.

Hi Marilyn,

I live in western MD, and my hubby works in DC. I'm a 33 year-old stay-at-home mom of two young children and one chocolate lab. :-) I've lost almost 90 pounds in the last year and a half, and would like to get off about another 20 or so, but have been at a plateau for some time now. I'd love a buddy to stay motivated. Exercise is not my forte. I've walked 30 minutes a day every day (except when I was sick) since I started my weight loss journey, but pushing myself beyond that is a challenge. Hubby is supportive and he's lost quite a bit of weight, too. But, since he has such a long commute, we're often too tired to support each other with exercise... I'm going to have to motivate myself with that.

So, feel free to contact me for support. I'd love to hear more about your weight loss challenges.

Best of luck!
