Hey Diamonds!

I'm looking for anyone interested in "buddying up" for a 7 week challenge. The goal is to stick to our diet and exercise goals with a partner. Just provide the following, and then I can buddy everyone up:

1. Name (or nickname)
2. Seven week weight loss goal
3. Diet and exercise goals

The challenge begins on MONDAY, MARCH 14th. I will post buddies on Monday morning. Yes, you can choose your own buddy, just let me know!

Expectations:

1. Check in with YOUR BUDDY EVERY DAY via messaging!
2. Check in on this thread regularly.
3. Weight loss will be posted on Mondays. (You can weigh in on any day, just be consistent.)

It's our time to shine!


My Response:

Name: Jamaica
7 Wk Goal: 10.5 pounds
Diet and Exercise Goals: Exercise 6x per week, drink only water, general healthy eating

    So, we would just send you a message with our starting weight and new weight each week? or just the # of lbs lost?

    Good question. You can send me just the pounds lost each week. I really want us to focus on what we've shed! You and your buddy should share everything! I will try my best to partner people with similar goals.

    Oh no! I just remembered I am on Vacation Mon 3/21, and will be gone from 3/17-3/25 (not sure if I will have internet access or not).

    I don't think I will have access to a scale, so can I just update you for 2 weeks (3/21 and 3/28) on 3/28?
