Hi Sharon! Welcome to the board. I'm new here too, and I've been looking for a weight loss buddy myself. There are posts after posts of people wanting buddies, but I've yet to find someone to actually e-mail back and forth and really support each other.

You and I have similar stats, which is something I'm looking for in a weight loss buddy! I too am 5'9", and I weigh about 261 (I was at 275 when I started a few weeks ago). I have an ultimate goal of 165, but I'm in no rush. I just want it to happen, and I want it to last this time!

I don't have any children, so I'm not the fat parent at school functions -- I'm the fat teacher!!

If you'd like to be e-mail buddies for support on this journey, let me know and we'll exchange information.

Hi everyone -
I'm a fat teacher too Lisa - and looking for someone to email - let me know if you're interested.
I'm 275lbs - heaviest I've ever been and I'm going to start the Sonoma diet tomorrow. I've been overweight for as long as I can remember - I always start diets well, but lose motivation after a month or so and start comfort eating again. I'm hoping that having someone to email will help me on the straight and narrow!

Mary, I would love to be e-mail buddies! I'm doing Weight Watchers, but we can still keep each other on track. I don't know too much about the Sonoma diet, but I think I have an idea of the basic premise. I'm going to look up some stuff about it. I tried to send you a private message with my e-mail address, but the option wasn't there on your profile. Can you send me one with your e-mail address?

Hi Lisa,
I'd love to be email buddies with you. I think it will really help that we have similar stats.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards.
Sharon

Hi Lisa -
I couldn't find your email address on your profile either, but I have changed my profile so that you can get my address. We'll get it sorted out eventually!
