Weight loss buddy wanted?

edited October 2024 in Motivation and Support
So I have fallen off the wagon for a while but am coming back with force and ready to stop being obese.
I was wondering if II could get someone around my same weight and height to text and email or something, a weight loss buddy if you will. I think that having a buddy along the process really helps. I'll give motivation when you need it and you in return?

I think it's a cool idea and if other people are interested on finding weight loss buddies too this would a cool place to post.


Yey?
Ney?


Let the weightloss buddies begin :D

    For sure, I think having a buddy that can relate to what your going through will definitively help out a lot, keeping spirits high and all that good jazz

    Hi, I am 5'7 and 208 pounds right now. I was at 223 on Oct. 25th and that's when I started keeping track of my eating. I had already started working out but was not watching my eating, and I didn't start keeping track on my weight. I would love a workout buddy. Let me know, if you've already found a few no worries, I only have a few friends on here and I am looking for some friends at least for MFP.

    Hi, I'm 5'8" and 265lbs! I'm looking for someone to help motivate me and to share successes as well as failures and provide support. My ultimate goal weight is 125, although I might stop anywhere in the hundreds when I'm happy and start building muscle.

    I would love to have a weight loss buddy to :flowerforyou: I have amazing MFP friends but I wouldnt mind having someone who is close to my height and weight who would be there for extra support and motivation and I would do the same. I normally do really goood for a few days and then end up messing up.

    Height 5'7"
    Weight 260

    Good Idea by the way!

    It sounds great to have someone to motivate you and have a similar situation. Someone add me if you have a similar situation or just dont mind keeping in touch with weight loss struggles, motivation and success stories. After having three children and all back to back I am ready to get my body back.
