Hi guys,
I'm new here. : )
I'm trying to lose weight for my wedding next year and I was just wondering if anyone want to buddy up with me. I'm thinking someone to kick my *kitten* when I reach for the biscuits, and of course mutual support and encouragement on days where I feel like quitting and stuffing my face, which will of course be reciprocated back to you should it be requested!!!!! Sometimes it's so hard to take the slimming journey when there's temptation all around (Esp. when your partner keeps eating cake on the sofa next to you.....TORTURE!)

Anyway, I would love to hear from anyone who would be up for it.

    Hi Ella,

    Great to meet you! I would love to be your buddy on this journey, and as your wedding is coming up, I have NO PROBLEM kicking you in the butt if you go off your chosen course.

    My husband is trying to gain weight while I try to lose some and shape up, so I know exactly what you mean by the temptations at home. He gets to eat whatever he wants in whatever quantity, so it's hard.

    But please feel free to add me if you like. I'm also the group administrator to a different challenge every month, if you would like to join that as well. This month is push ups and we just started so we would love to have you. It's a great group and there are two different challenges within it...one a bit easier than the other.

    Let me know!

    Light, Love & Magick,

    Tryxxie :flowerforyou:

    Oh yeah, I'm also the group administrator to the MFP Sisters group. Just women who want to better themselves...no need to worry about people making comments that have no place in these threads.

    Hi!!!
    That's so awesome thank you so much! Why is it most men can practically eat whatever they want, while most women just have to look at a cheesecake to gain 5 pounds??! It's so unfair! will deffo add you now. Thanks for the support......I think it's so much easier to succeed when you don't feel so alone and have moral support.

    I'm happy to be of some help. And I totally agree that just looking or smelling food destroys us. No fair!

    I will send you the invite to the groups I mentionned. If you want to join, feel free to accept them. No need if you don't want to...I'm here for you either way.

    Let's do this!

    You can add me too! My hubby is trying to gain weight while I try to lose weight. I keep telling him he needs to eat the calories that I can't, but then he sits next to me on the couch with potato chips and ice cream and it's soooo hard to resist!
