Buddy system, do you need a buddy? LIST post 18!

[binny]

Well *I* need a buddy. :)
I need someone who is willing to help on this journey of mine.

I would be willing to pair up people or you can post here that youre looking for a weight loss buddy. We did this a couple of years ago and it made a big difference to me and I made a really good friend to boot :)


SO I guess the info we need is

Your name, screen name, how much weight youre wanting to lose and maybe what program youre on.


So mine would be

Robin (Binny)
want to lose about 60 pounds. ( though would be happy with 50 at this point)
I am doing a no fad diet IE: more exercise and less calories/fat


Anyone want a buddy? :)

[schatz5k]

Hi Binny,

I could use a buddy as well. This is a great idea.

Here's my info

Screen name is Schatz5k(Tracy)
I'd like to lose 70 lbs
I'm exercising more, watching what I eat and drinking lots of water. I was told half my weight in water so for me that is 90 oz of water a day. With that said I need to take a bathroom break :rotfl:

[Debbie]

Binny,I'd like to have a buddy. I promise to keep in regular touch!

Interestingly, your profile matches mine.

[BuzzLightYear3]

This is great! Sign me up! I'm a fairly frequent reader of these boards, but I never noticed this particular one. I just stumbled across this board while trying to figure out what a reference was to W.I.S.H. in a post on DCL, and coincidentally, I need to lose 50 lbs, and I really want to do it before our first ever cruise on June 24, so time is running out. Finding this is like an omen or something! I'm going to make it happen!

Name: Linda
Screen name: BuzzLightYear3
Need to lose 50 lbs
Using Weight Watchers and exercise (using Weight Watchers online tools.....I've done the meeting route years ago, but I never got much out of those)

Thanks for doing this!

[Natalie Aked]

Just in case...

Name's Natalie (screen name: Natalie Aked)

I weigh in at 98Kilos (that's about 220.5 pounds)...I would like to weigh in at about 71 -75 Kilos....so I need to lose between 23 and 27 kilos (52 to 61 pounds)

I am starting a new plan...modified weight watchers I guess. More exersise, less fat, sugar and so on. Lots of water and greens.

Oh, I live in Australia not that that really matters...but just in case anyone is interested.

Regards,
Natalie Aked
Canberra Australia

If I can partiipate, please let me know.
