Looking for buddies

Options
Hi everyone,

Boy am I happy to see all of you! I found this site by reading a magazine in the check out aisle at the grocery store tonight. I have a hard time knowing where to start when it comes to weight loss and fitness. This seems so easy. I was shocked to find when I entered my breakfast and lunch, I was already over the amount of calories I should eat for the day. That is not even counting if I have dinner or a cocktail.

I am so tired of being heavy and I mean literally tired, too. I get so tired all the time now. I would like to lose 40 - 50 lbs. I know it won't happen overnight but I am an impatient person so I am hoping my buddies here can help keep me in check.

MU

    Hey honey,

    I'm rather impatient too so I feel your pain on this. I'd like to be friends and maybe we can help each other calm down and just breathe. :)

I am also new to this site, so we can all work on this together. i found this site in my womens world magazine about a hour ago. lol. add me and we can work on this struggle together. i need to lose about a 100lbs. lets just say prayer is needed for this.

    Looking for local friends to bike ride with. I have a route that is just 5 mi and not too hard. I just dont, care to ride alone. My husband prefers to diet and it seems to work for him. Not me. Im watching what I eat and exercising and my weight isnt changing nor do I need to buy new clothes, yet.

    I am looking for buddies too! I have 150 pound to lose and I am feeling it this time. After all the attempts in the past I have learned my problems and now I am using them to be successful finally! Tracking truthfully is great! I would love to be your buddy!

    Add me if you feel we can support each other in our weight loss goals.
    I need to lose at least 20lbs and try to keep it off.
    Im 50 and its not easy to lose weight and Id feel better about myself. Not to mention what it could do for my marriage.
    I work seasonally doing school pictures a few months in the fall and spring. Last fall I lost 12lbs and by this June Id gained it all back even though I havent changed my eating habits and added more exercise to replace the exercise Id been getting with work. Its depressing to work so hard and nothing happens. Ill admit I will go a week or 2 not exercising but not eating alot of junk either. Just need a little physical encouragement.

    Feel free to add me-I joined in the fall of 2011, but didn't seek out any friends at that time. I recommitted in June and it is much better with friends to encourage each other! We are all in this together!
