looking for a friend

  • I'm not super new to this site I have been coming and going fora few years now and I am looking for an accountabili-buddy. I used to have one but fell out of touch when my life became to stressed and I let it efect everything about me (including my weight again) but now I have a less stressful job and am taking this seriously again. I'm doing this for myself and would love to share triumpths and sadness with someone who like me needs a shoulder to cry on every now and then. Anyone up for the challenege?
  • I like challenges... and I'm around a lot so I would love to be your friend/accountability buddy whatever you want to call it. I find it easier to do this with someone else rather than alone
  • Count me in ! It's always so much easier to do it with others!
  • Sure! I'm a returner too...
  • You can count me into! I'm still relatively new to this site and am looking for buddy to help me with this journey!
  • awesome! I'm so glad to see so much help and support ffrom fellow dieters. how about everyone say a little bit of something about themselves.
  • I'm Haley and I'm 22...almost 23...YIKES...
    I graduated from college in May with a degree in Psychology however that hasn't helped me out too much... I currently work as a Nanny and spend everyday in a house filled with cupcakes and cookies haha
    My last semester in college I lost 50 pounds in about 5 or 6 months... Gained almost 20 back this summer and here I am again... in two weeks I've lost ten pounds so I'm pretty excited
  • I'm 27 yrs old. I work full time and go to school part time for a degree in criminal justice. Some how I still find time to exercise. It's hard but I do. I've been over weight my whole life and i'm tired of it.

    Wow!! How'd you do that!? Congrats!!
  • This is what I came here for, to find someone, or even a group of people who I can celebrate my success with and motivate me when I'm feeling down.

    You sound like me bbybear, I kept letting go of my healthy changes when work got stressful.

    We need a support buddy match maker thing here!
  • This is why I came here too... my bff and I have been talking about accountability and we have that for each other to a certain extent, but maybe having other people on here that I don't know will help me. We can do this guys!
  • I want to join in.

    I'm Ashley, 21, married. I love animals.

    I just started dieting and working out last week and I have about 100 lbs. to loose. Ugh.
  • I need someone to hold me accountable as well....I moved out to a town with my job, I don't know a lot of people here, and I quit working to go to college full time. (majoring in radiology)

    I'm a single mom to 2 boys!
    I just need someone that I have to answer to like weekly...and to get on my back if I'm screwing up or not making progress!
    Where's my dad when I need him!! lol...
  • I'd like an accountabili-buddy too! I'm an American student studying abroad in Australia, which means:

    a) Lots of good food (Australia has the highest obesity rate of any country in the world right now) and
    b) I haven't had time to meet many other like-minded women, most of my friends are quite thin and can't really relate.

    I second what esoccer mom said, I need someone to "answer to" to keep myself motivated.

    We should start pairing off since so many people have responded to this thread!
  • This thread was pretty quiet so I had forgot to look back into it...
    in the last 3 weeks I have lost 14 pounds...not sure how but I still have soo much to lose... I didnt have a single fat friend til I came here lol... bbybear and I have been chating but feel free to PM me... I'm around a lot because i work sorta at home

    Good luck ladies
