Hi there

My name is Sarah and I am 37 years old. I Currently weigh 274lbs. I am following the Slimming World plan at home because I can not currently afford to attend meetings. I was wondering whether anyone would like a buddy to chat to and offer advise too.

Thanks for reading

Hi Sarah,

Happy New Year and welcome back(??) to the board.

I don't do SW but wish you well.

If you want to weigh in weekly join in the monthly thread - the New Year thread is the current one.

I hope you find an SW buddy. Good luck.

Hi Sarah,
I'm not in the United Kingdom, although a great deal of my relatives are and I absolutely adore the UK. Ya' know that song, "I Left My Heart In San Francisco? Well, I left mine in London!!!

Anywho!
I would love to be a weight loss buddy.
We could send each other private messages weekly and keep an eye on each other that way.

Let me know.

Kelli

Hi Sarah, you're local to me! I live near Liskeard and work at Derriford. It's Day 2 of my (second) journey.

How much are you hoping to lose?

Default Hello Lucy

Hi Lucy.

Small world hey I used to work in Moorswater Liskeard.......

Happy new year to you. How much am I hoping to lose? MMMM I try not to think about that too much cos it seems like such a long way away. I aim for small 7lb targets, this seems much more achievable.

I have eaten more food this week than I normally do! Hopefully we can have some laughs along the way! Good luck. When do you weigh again. I am weighing on Friday so wish me luck. Will let you know how I get on.

Sarah x

Hi there Kelli


Yes I would love a buddy from the USA. I am weighing on Friday after my 1st week so wish me luck. I am trying to aim for small 7lb targets at a time, not so daunting then hee hee.

I will PM you and let you now how I get on this week ok. Ate more food this week than normal but better food so hopefully fingers crossed.

Good luck to you.

I weigh in on fridays too! I'm not sure why, but I think it helps my start my "week" positive and I need that on Saturdays.

Best of luck on your journey. If you need to chat I am always available.
