In search of a weight loss & excerise buddy!

  • I'm looking for a buddy that I can communicate with daily (or every other day) to keep myself (and them) in check. I hope we can become a weight loss team and kick some major butt in our journeys!

    Unfortunately, I just moved and don't know anyone and all my friends live in MI and I don't think any of them are looking to lose weight or are serious like I am about it. I need someone that can keep me in check and tell me "hey, you better not eat that!" I also want someone that could become a friend!

    Let me know if you're interested!

  • Lindsey!

    this site makes me feel like a stalker hahah I had to track you down babe!

    I am soo excited for this!!

    how should we go about communicating?
  • Hey, I'll be your buddy too, if you want!

    Let me know how you'd like to exchange info!
  • Hi ladies! Glad you tracked me down spymebabe!
    Hi Rachel! Yes, that would be great!



    I guess e-mail...???
  • I am in a bit of different situation but I would certainly be happy to have a buddy!
  • Hey there! I was actually searching for an accountability buddy myself. Not sure how supportive I could be via email though. I'm more of an IM girl myself. Any chance you use MSN messenger or yahoo?
  • Urthworm- I don't have yahoo or msn...I have AIM...?? What about facebook?
    165orbust- That's fine, definitely having a buddy is good! Let me know if y'all are interested.
  • I am also looking for a buddy. I need a good slap on the wrist sometimes myself!
  • Jilly - LOL. That's great!! I'm trying to figure out how we should do this...

    Anyone have any suggestions as how to go about the buddy thing, I say the more the merrier!!! What about e-mail? Facebook? Or should I just start a thread on here for us? Let me know what y'all think! I'm SO pleased to have this many people interested in being diet/exercise buddies!
  • Sounds good! I am good with whatever. My phone is always on me so if we do a forum on here I will always get the message (almost immediately) and tell you to eat the salad when you need it!!
    Looking forward to new friends.

    I have to say I made another friend on an infertility forum and she lives 1000 miles away. We have both since become moms and still are closer than some of my friends that I have had forever. It's nice when someone is in the same situation as you. I never met this friend in person but long ditance friends can become very close. We even Skype chat with our children now!!
  • Whatever method works best for you ladies is fine by me. I'm on email all day at work, and text message like a fiend, so if you want a texting buddy, I'm all for that too!
  • Jilly - That's amazing! I am definitely down for making new friends too. I agree, that when you're in the same situation it's much easier! You have a lot in common already, ya know?

    Pokey - Yeah, I pretty much have my e-mail up all day too and I text all the time!

    I dunno I'm thinking e-mail might be easier...what do you guys think?
  • I good with whatever. Like I said I always have my email and internet on me. Drive all day for work so I am free a lot.
  • Lindsey,
    I sent you my email to your gmail box. Maybe you could send out a list of everyone's email?
