Hi, my name is Shannon and I am looking for a buddy. I am 27 years old and weigh 223 lbs at 5'2. I am looking for a buddy that can help me stay motivated. I live in a different state from my parents and friends so I do not have anyone to keep my on the right track.

I am looking to loose 73 or more lbs. The problem is, ever since I moved and got married all I seem to do is eat! I managed to gain the 73 pounds over the last 10 years, and it needs to come off!!

I recently started back on a medication that in the past caused me to gain weight so I am doing this mainly to keep myself from gaining more weight, but I would love to get down to my goal weight.

I started yesterday doing WW at home, but I must admit it is harder then I remember!!

So is anyone looking for a buddy?

Hi Shannon,

I'd love to buddy up. I started WW last week (like you at home). I also go to TOPS weekly and that helps. But I have a ton to drop--80 pounds. Well, 74 after yesterday's weigh in. I am 35. Married to a wonderfully slender man who can eat everything and stay the same (lucky him). I have a two year old son who's a great inspiration. I could sure use some push along the way.

Rhonda
