Hello all,
I was on these boards about a year ago and was able to lose 30 pounds from the support I received. Unfortunately, its been a rough 6 months and I put those 30 pounds back on. I never thought I'd be in this place again. Due to some of the curve balls life throws at you, I developed some anxiety and spend most of my time at home. I am also an insomniac. This is a recipe for disaster. I am looking for some buddies who will help me and motivate me. People that know/understand where I am coming from. I will be that same support for you. I am going to be a bridesmaid in a good friends wedding in June. The other girls are, at most, a size 4 each. I'd like to lose as much as I can by then. Every little bit counts! so, please feel free to add me to your buddy list! I look forward to sharing this journey with you!

Hello =D

I'm just a newbie too, but I think you and I are in a similar situation in that I am to be a bridesmaid in July! I would love to be able to lose weight before then too.

I know I am from the UK, but would be more than willing to try and be a buddy! I did try to PM you - but I have no idea how!!

Thanks for the well wishes everyone!

I'm brand spanking new here as well but I added you to my list (not that I really know what that means!) I would love to have some people that I have to be accountable to every single day it helps me stay on track...good luck to both of us!

hi and welcome to the site there are plenty of people here that are very friendly and willing to help!. you guys wont be able to send private messages just yet untill you have been on here for so many days, i believe 20 days and also do 20 posts. *shonabear* : i am also from the uk and have late nights (due to new born) so will be floating about at night if needed anyone is welcome to add me to their buddy list! if you need anything before your 20 days/posts then you can find me on my fitness pal (user name bbguk) good luck everyone on your journey x

I don't mind having a buddy I am starting my weight loss journey tomorrow morning I have a horrible time sleeping most nights, and I suffer from bad anxiety and depression which keeps me in the house unless it's work. My OH plans on joining the military and I want to take a chunk off before he goes away (which could be 3 months) and he would be gone a min of 3 months, so I would like to get a brunt of my weight off before he returns! I would like to have 60lbs gone by August... which I think I can do it if I stick it out and keep on track. I could use some extra support and motivation too!
