I am in need of a weight loss buddy

MrsAnderson_GettingHealthy

My name is Paige. I reached my peak weight of 231 pounds in March after suffering from a miscarriage at 7 weeks gestation. I planned on going back to weight watchers since, in the past I was able to lose 50 pounds in a few months with exercise also. I than found out that I was pregnant again in April. I am now 38 weeks pregnant and I am at my highest weight that I have ever been- 250 pounds. I should be having her any day now (midwife's prediction) and I am getting more and more obsessed about getting this weight off.
I plan on losing 100 pounds and I hope to do this in one year. I know that it will be possible with the help of a weight loss buddy who has the same type of goal, photo journaling my achievements, blogging, weight watchers, learning portion control, exercising at least 5 times a week, walking daily and learning how to drink eleven glasses/bottles of water a day.
Is there anyone else who is planning on losing 100 pounds? (2 pounds a week for a year)
Right away, I won't be able to truly exercise because I have to take it easy for 6 weeks with just walking and breastfeeding.

Anyone willing to be my weight loss buddy, my support system? I really would like someone who has around the same goals or even someone who has already lost that much weight and wants to share their success stories!?

Thanks so much!

I replied to your other topic too, but I thought I would add that I gained 80 with my first baby (I was 19 when we found out we were expecting and 20 when he was born.) I have gained and LOST 275 pounds of baby weight. ( All of my children are fairly closely spaced so I had to work quick to lose the weight.) I didn't want to keep half the baby weight and end up to be twice the woman my husband married. :laugh: He has been great about my weight no matter what, but I know I am more comfortable in my own skin at a healthier weight. It can be done! It just takes time and work.

Feel free to add me! I don't have experience with losing baby weight, but I have done WW before and have found success with MFP. I've lost 12 lbs in the 4 weeks since I joined.
