Buddy Support
 

I was reading a few other threads and didnt know if you guys still did (or do) the buddy "thing"?

I was thinking it would be cool to be buddy'd (lol) up with someone and send emails or text messages (what ever the 2 people decided on) and have some support as needed throughout the day, weekend, etc..

Now...I know that is what we are here for but I was thinking along the lines of those who maybe cant get online during the day or maybe are traveling, etc...

Anywaysssss..I am game for this if anyone is willing :)

If others want to do this maybe we could come up with a way to set up buddies together..perhaps like the 1st 2 people are a buddy couple , then the next two are buddy couples, etc.

Thoughts???:D

i think that is a great idea. I'm so in if you or anyone want to buddy up. I love sharing my failures and successes, and might be helpful to someone, but there isn't anyone around me in my life right now that I can share that with.

I'd like to have a buddy too. It'd be great to know more frequently that we're not going this alone.

I'd be up for the buddy thing, I'm online a lot - I've got a diet journal on LJ and totally would be cool for texting as well.

i'd be up for it. could really use some focus and can help others too.

does anyone have ideas on how to buddy up? By 1st request/1st answer? location? starting weight? preference of support (online/email/text/snail mail(lol) )..

I am thinking 1st request for a buddy/1st answer for a buddy may be the easiest and we could post on the board when a "buddy couple" is made and keep a tab in case someone needs to drop off or change..etc?

Put me on the list!

Ok, so why dont we start with 1st two people, next two peple, etc..

1st buddies will be

welcome back nabeel...looks like you got hung up around 50lbs too...

I'm here online alot and love to support everyone, but would feel bad if i had a buddy and then neglected them...so I'll stick to a general cheerleader! :)

I cannot, because i havent been a member for more than 20 days, but its [email protected].

I'm not able to email yet either.

The buddy system seems like a great idea - I'd like to be in as well!

Buddy Help!
 

Definitely looking for a buddy. I refocused on MRC the first of April and have done well...trying to keep it honest and figure out how to recover from AIC (translated...'rear end' in chair). Hopefully I can figure out the forums too!! Anyone else looking?

first of all, realy sorry to my buddy for not replying! I've just been crazy busy :) I sent you mail e-mail addy, if you dont mind, lets continue there :)

I can't find a way to send my email address to my buddy either - maybe i haven't posted enough? Or haven't figured it out yet! I'll keep looking!

nabeelmalik,
I read your message and sent a reply back to your e-mail addy. Thanks for the response.

I am new to MRC and 3FC and would love to have a buddy. Can I get in this also? Very new to 3FC and I am not sure how this all works yet.

snowbuni ~ rrag0517...buddies:)

buddys
 

I am up for it also, could always use extra support during trying times.

woohoo a buddy! hi! rrag0517 (And thanks Mel...we seem to organize well with direction!...). Being a relative newbie to actually writing I will push to get the minimum posts so I can actually reach you!

Hey snowbuni,
I am also a newbe so I have to post more also.
How are things going for you? From your signature it seems you off to a good start. I have figured out how to post a signature yet.

I would love an email buddy!

carolinagirlnc ~ bethyk1980...budddddddddies (in Pauly Shore voice)


are yall getting annoyed with me posting names as buddies? I dont want to be an idiot :)

my bestfriend is my CHUBBY BUDDY as i call her it is really good. we call and txt eachother all day. wat did we eat and some times we would randomly txt message REMBER NO JUNK FOOD. ITS IS A GREAT REMINDER TO KEEP UR SELF ON TRACK. we would sometimes excersie together. and if we can we let each other know when we do or dont excersie what we did and for how long.






and we also help eachother with cravings and stuff. its really good u begin to feel like you let someone down when u cheat or dont excersie

Heck no...you started this bus running. We seemed to sit and wait for direction when you went on vacation. I appreciate the guidance...especially as one just starting with the forums. ;)

I am impressed with your 45 lb loss...keep it up, proof that it works. Can't wait to learn more about how you kept your focus and cheer you on to the next 25!

I figured out that if someone doesn't tell me what I can eat then I would eat anything and everything. I love food! I love the texture, the flavor, the colors. :smug: So because of this I need to be told stay away from this, don't eat that. I am in control now.

I've been on plan for a while, but have stalled.. I could use a buddy to help me kick my butt in gear... anyone???.. bueller??? bueller...??

rrag0517: Just saw your blog...so cool...I had better get posting if I want to be a real buddy...keep up the great efforts...vacation and all!

Hi Everyone!
 

I'd like to have a buddy, too. I'm not very good at this posting stuff yet, though.

looks like Meezoogirl and Jaime68123 :)

MEEZOOGIRL, it is Jamie68123, but I don't know how to send a private message on here!

I would love to have a Buddy, I have been on plan since 4/30 and it really would be nice to talk to someone whose going through the same things.

Hugs, Cheryl

Cheryl, I'll take you!! :) I could use a buddy too! I started my program at the beginning of June - It wouldn't let me send you a private msg w/my email addy - can you try and send me a private msg with yours? :) Looking forward to the support!!!

Buddy in Oregon
 

I'm looking for a buddy in OR...anybody out there? It doesn't have to be Oregon though, just wanted to know if there is anyone close by.

awesome, cheriann and guinevere75

August6, Cheriann is in OR. I don't mind giving her up to you if you want an OR pal and I'll take the next buddy that comes on board. :)
