On the hunt for some weight loss buddies - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Tamlynne31 · 03-05-2011, 11:12 AM

Not sure if its ok to post this here or not but as one of my goals for the CC St Patty challenge is to find some weightloss buddies I thought I would start here.

I am restarting my weightloss journey and as of today will be counting calories. Nothing else has worked for me and my brother has been counting calories and losing weight great! I am not sure how the buddy thing really works. I would love to have someone to talk to and check in with everyday. I have yahoo chat if anyone would want to chat.

Umm a little about me is I am 31, the mommy to one, I am 310 lbs. I have no real set goal but we are going on vacation in July and I would like to lose 30 lbs by then or at least close to it so that its easier for me to walk when we are there. I have alot of back problems which makes things really difficult but I am going to push through it.

Anyway if you would like to be my buddy please let me know!!!

Hello, I'll be your buddy! I'm 42, mother of 2 (17 and 4 years old, both girls)
On February 5 I started out at 268 and this morning I weight in at 251.5 I'm currently taking adipex, which helps me with my appetite. It works great but I decided to cut back to half dosage because of some side effects (insomnia and shortness of breath)...Anywho, I'm on facebook and twitter....looking forward to being buddies

I'd love to be your buddy as well! I'm 39, mother of 1(15-girl). I started my journey in August and have lost 24 pounds. Exercise is a challenge, but I get it in as often as possible. I'm on Facebook and we can email (=

I would love to be a buddy as well! I know that I do sooooo much better when I'm held accountable, or know that I'm working with others. The struggle with weight loss is SO HARD + humans are communal creatures = let's work together to better ourselves!

I'm 22 and a proud pet parent of a 4-year-old pit bull. I'm constantly falling off the wagon and starting over. I was obese growing up, but have now gotten down to where I'm starting to want to really tone and lose excess pounds.

I'll even get a yahoo ID to chat! Just let me know!

mzradie · 03-08-2011, 11:40 PM

I guess it's okay to just check in here?
B-nothing
L-Chili and baked potatoe from Wendy's
D-peanut butter and jelly on Nickols low calorie bread (Hated it lol)
ate around 1200 calories...need to squeeze in breakfast and snacks I guess

I was feeling bloated this morning so I didn't bother to weigh in. Why set myself up for the disappointment?

I have always fallen off the wagon which is why I am at my highest weight ever but I just can't fail this time.. I CAN'T!! I am feeling very unhealthy and I know I am. I want to live for my daughter and I need to lose this weight to do it!

ashleynm87 · 03-11-2011, 07:13 PM

I would also looove to be weight loss buddies with all you! I am only on day 4 and need all the help & motivation I can get!!

odonnela · 03-13-2011, 07:58 AM

Me me me!!!!!!
I'm 39, started at 326, got as low as 254, back up to like 283.
Tomorrow is the start of a new week and the start of me getting back on plan!!
Also re: the calorie concerns you posted in another thread, I lost at 1,800 a day with walking. I know everyone is different but don't think you have to eat 1,200 for success. I'll send you a friend request on FB.
