Well I've been on here for awhile but I'd really like to connect with someone one on one. I'd love to have a friend to keep accountable with and just talk to about life...stuff

Some things about me: I'll be 21 next month. I'm a college student. Married for 4 years (yes....FOUR years). Love animals. Live in southern California, about half and hour north of San Diego so I have all these skinny beach chickies to deal with My family and friends are all in Pennsylvania so I'm pretty darn lonely out here. Hobbies include reading, dirtbikes/quads, video games. To lose weight I've been calorie counting and going to the gym. I love the elliptical and weight training. Just starting to experiment with group classes. I also like exercise DVDs but haven't done much lately in our tiny little apartment. I've been backsliding a little lately with trips and health problems, and well....eating a lot. I've managed to gain back about 7 pounds and am really looking to get back on track. Hmm, I think that's everything!

I'd love to hear from some potential buddies

I feel for you out there in southern Cal. Here in the south I can be assured of finding numerous others like me eating momma's down home cooking! I feel very lucky to have found this site where I can talk to others or just "listen in" on their weight loss struggles. Keep posting and check out some of the other forums and I'm sure you'll find that you're not alone here!

In this Buddy Up forum there is a thread with a 19 y.o. college student looking for a buddy. A group of other students have responded and it looks like they're getting a buddy group together, you should join in!

Thanks for the heads up! I didn't even notice that thread!
