Ladies! Buddy Up and Lose Weight--Join the Diamonds! [OPEN]

Hi there?
I am Debbie and have been on MFP for over a year now. I got very close to my goal in December 2010 and then have been on and off the wagon all this year yo yoing and driving myself mad. I have logged in for the past 165 days despite my prevarication so I can be committed, I have a great bunch of mfpals that help me so much and I reciprocate. I am going back to the UK on 21st of september to a wedding and I want to look fab for that.

I tend to swear and cuss and I do not attribute my weightloss to help from God so if this could be taken into account when pairing me up with someone that'd be good coz I dont like to cause offence, often

Really would love to participate in this, I hope it will be poss! Bring it on!!!! now where is that registration form ? Debbie

To add, I did the c25k and then the bridge to 10, I did my first 10k in july and had my calf tear at 8k so had to walk the rest. I am currently still injured and banned from running walking hills (i live in mountainous france) and my bike even. I miss cardio and running particularly like billio and get very frustrated at times...... I am doing the 30 day shred and modifying the stuff i cannot make my calf do...... so am having to eat a lot less than i am used to, i do eat my exercise calories...... of which i am earning few now lol!!!

Hi, my name is R. Anne. I was a part of last month's challenge and loved it. Unfortunately I missed one week of it due to a vacation, but i am back on the ball and ready to shed these extra inches & pounds, knowing that I had to report on my progress made it much easier to resist temptation and push myself. Also I'll be getting my mirena out soon (I know it doesn't affect some) but I have had some bad side effects, one of which had to be weight gain, ugh. So anyways, looking forward to this new challenge!!

Hi...my name is Starleng. I need this challenge for motivation and support. I've been playing at working out and eating right. I need to do this right. I turn 40 this year and I want to be one hot momma.

Hello! My name is Becky and i would like to join as well. I've been with MFP for a couple of months now, and love the site. But I am currently in the home stretch now to my sorority reunion, and I need that extra push to get the weight off I want. I started at 211 lbs and am currently at 197.6. This is the first time in 3 years I have been below 200 lbs and that feals great. I tend to start slacking off when I feel like I've got it under control. Which is right about now. If I have to be accountable to someone I feel like I would do so much better. I hope to lose 8 lbs in the next 4 weeks, and 15 more before the reunion.

HI! I been on mfp for a few months. I've lost 16 lbs. I've still got a long way to go. I need to lose at least 90 more lbs. I am doing a whole lot better now. I'm really getting into exercising. Learning new workouts. Just started strenght training and I really like it. I have some bad days where I just have to fight to stay on track. I want to eat just because and lay around. It's getting better but I still need some support. I was in another group and it fell apart. I would love to join this group.

Is anyone else having trouble with the google docs links? I posted a reply and would love to officially register but I can't get the google docs link to work.

Hi! My name is Meg!
I'm joining this challenge b/c I need motivation and accountability to loose 15-20 lbs. I've lost my pregnancy weight but I put on 15 when we we're trying and now it needs to be gone! I've weaned DD now that she's a year and it's time to get my body back!

Hello Everyone,

My name is Anita and I would like to join the Diamonds because I really need the motivation to help me on my weight lose journey. I think having a buddy will keep me on the right track and give me the opportunity to inspire someone as well. I have no health issues and I would like to keep it that way because my family has a history of diabetes, high blood pressure and kidney disease. I just want to be healthy and enjoy life.

Hello! My name is Claire, and I am fairly new to MFP. I would love to have other people keeping me accountable for what I do. I am ready to get healthy and having a buddy will help keep me on track!

I officially registerd but have not recieved an email yet. Is this ok? I am so excited to start officially tomorrow!!

My name is Jennifer and I know its late. But since it still says open, I'm guessing the final match ups are tonight. I hope I'm not too late.

My reason for joining is the only time I've ever lost more then a few pounds was when I was part of a Couch to 5K forum for 10 weeks. I loved it and was on everyday. Once it ended, though, I haven't found another great group. That was last September.

Also, when I am at work, working out is super easy. I don't have anything to do at night, so might as well go to the gym. Well, I only work for 5 more weeks. Then I'm back home in the comfort of my house, my dog, my loving boyfriend, and yummy beer. It's not easy to keep up, and last year I quit it all within a month of getting home and gained back my 20 lbs. by January.

I am super motivated when I'm accountable to someone. And I love a challenge, especially when there is planned time and calenders.

I look forward to this challenge and a great partner!

Jennifer

I still haven't gotten anything!

My name is Naomi. i would like to join this challenge because I would like to extra support and being accountable to someone else more than just me. I am a teacher and a mother of two and have been battling with my weight since before my children were born.
