I really NEED a buddy!!

[WDWorBUST]

Is there anyone out there who needs to lose 80-90 pounds that would like to have a buddy? I really need someone who can relate to me and my life. If you have a toddler that's all the better. And if you work full-time that's even better. (I'm not saying that if you don't work full time I don't want you for a buddy ) In my real life I don't seem to have anyone that can really relate to me. I'd love someone to hold me accountable and cheer me on when I'm doing well that I can do the same for. If you would please shoot me a PM. Thanks!!

Good Luck to you. I was in the same boat for many years. I started last February and I have got down to a weight I'm happy with. It would have been much easier on me if I'd have had someone to walk with or even a buddy like you said to get me through. My Mom started in February this year and she has lost thirty some pounds. My Dad walks with her and my daughter and I will walk with her too.

Thanks!! It is hard to do it alone. My closest friend has a dd pretty close to the same age as my dd, but she works retail so her hours aren't even close to mine so although she wants to too....we can't do it together. But I'm not giving up....I will do it.

I'm also in the same boat as you! I need to loose about 85-90 to get to my target goal weight of 130! I would love to have a new buddy! I need all the incentive I can get!

I will be your buddy as I have about 80 pounds to lose as well. One thing that helps me is that I am back to exercising around other females who are in the same "boat" as me. I went and bought an expensive bowflex machine and never used the darn thing- ouch!! Thank the lord my sons use it instead. So know I go back to a place called Simply Fit of WNY (kind of like curves but more intense). They only have women members and I think this is great.

Do you exercise and where? I am telling you being around other women is awesome as they can truly relate. The owners of this club are great females as well as they encourage a person alot.

Good Luck!!

This is awesome!! I didn't just get a buddy - we all ended up with a weight loss support group

I am limiting my time on the DIS (I know, I know, it's hard) because I have been spending too much time here at work and at home. So how about you guys all PM your name (first name only if you want), age, weight (if you're comfortable with that), how much you want to lose (which we are all within 5 or 10 pounds of each other it appears), what you are doing to lose weight (eating plan - working out) and some family stats. Then I can buddy us up into pairs based on that info. I will still be coming here - but probably not as often. If you guys want to, send me your email address and then we can all check in via email too so we can have more personalized conversations than on a message board. I definitely still want to use the WISH board as a tool also....but it's easier for me to email at times because I don't get quite as distracted. So if this sounds like a plan shoot me a PM and then I'll send us out a group email.

If there's anyone else in the same category - please feel free to join us.

I have to admit I hadn't been on the boards since my last post on this thread and I was kind of bummed because I didn't think I was going to find me a buddy.
