Talking 6 week Body Makeover buddy needed...over 100lbs to lose!!

Hi!
33 y/o female doing the diet thing...again. I have been overweight since puberty, fluctuating from 200lbs to 300lbs for the last 20+ years. I have a new reason for wanting to lose the weight this time. I am in a happy, loving relationship with a great man and we want to start a family soon. I have read a lot of literature re: conceiving and it all says that severe obesity can hamper conception and cause pregnancy problems. I have waited my whole life to become a mother and I want to be the best one possible so now I'm doing this for me and a little person to be named later. I live in NJ and work in NYC. I would love to find a buddy in a similar situation as myself and if they were on the same plan that would be perfect! Thanks for reading and good luck to all!

Hi Michelle,
Thanks for the reply! I understand the "busy" thing-since I commute I'm away from home at least 10 hours per day. When I get home I have to get dinner together and all the meals for the next day. My BF is doing this with me but I'm kind of the one doing all the food work. I shouldn't complain as doing it together definately makes it easier to stay on track. I'm soooo tempted to hop on the scale...but it's only been 3 days! I have had so much water that I'm considering setting up my office in the bathroom! I can't imagine how busy you must be with work, 2 kids, a hubby and school!!! Thanks for writing and look forward to hearing more from you soon

Default Hi

Hi I am in Jersey as well and I would love to buddy up. I know that it's hard especially being busy but stick with it and it will be so much better for you in the long run. That is great that you are thinking ahead and working now towards getting pregnant. I am a stay at home mom to a 1-year old beautiful boy. I want to lose about 50 pounds altogether but I am trying to get pregnant right now so I am starting with just 15 pounds. Hope to talk to you soon!

Hi Jamie,
Thanks for the post...well I weighed in yesterday and 5.5lbs lost! I was hoping for more, but I just wasn't as prepared as I should have been last week. It's hard as both my boyfriend and I are on this diet where we eat 6 times a day. That's 12 meals a day! I was in the kitchen all weekend so hopefully it will be easier this week. I feel like all I do is drink water all day...my bladder is no longer my own! I figured that losing the weight would be better in getting pregnant and after so here I am. Thanks again for the post and keep in touch!
Jodi
