    Ok, I've got all memebers up to this point added to my little list. As of right now we have 66 members!! Once I post the newest chart on Thursday I highly encourage you to find a buddy with a goal similar to yours to keep tabs on during our journey. It is always nice to have a friend that is going through the same thing and has similar goals.

    For instance...

    I'm a shorty, only 5'2 and I'm looking to lose 17 lbs in 12 weeks (about 1.4 lbs a week). I have a medium frame and I tend to gain weight mostly in my midsection. It is easy for me to tone up my arms an legs (and my super flat..ick...behind) but it seems next to impossible to get rid of the stubborn belly fat. Being short means my weight doesn't always melt off super fast, but when it does come off it tends to make a pretty good impact (since it is so compacted around my middle).


    What kind of buddy are your looking for?

    What kind of buddy are your looking for?

    I can't wait to see the new list and find a buddy. I'm about the same as you though. I'm exactly 5 ft. tall. I'm looking to lose 15 lbs. in 12 weeks. My frame is somewhere in between petite and medium. (I feel like I'm odd shaped.) I seem to gain weight mostly in my mid-section as well. I have a thyroid problem so losing weight is a little harder for me. I've been on my weight loss journey since Feb 19th & so far, I have only lost 6 lbs. So, anybody that needs a buddy and has similar goals, friend & msg me!

    i would like to join you if you don't mind. i could use all the motivation i can get. my biggest problem is always forgetting to eat good foods and get my daily exercise in. all my friends are super skinny so i'm the heavier one so not much motivation there even though they are super supportiive but its hard to care what they say when they are alot smaller then me.

    3/17: as of today i weigh 205 lbs
