CC Adoption center!

Hello my friends, and welcome to the offical adoption center for the CC forums!

I thought it would be a good idea to set up a thread where people can come and ask for help. This is more specific help than what we already have.

Some of us have times that we're struggling. Sometimes the general encouragement from the forums would not be enough (well at least sometimes it's not) and you need individualized attention.

This is where this thread comes in handy!

In here you can sign up to be a "coach" or an "adoptee". You can be both, or one, or the other.

Here's how it works. You sign up in here to be an adoptee. You ask for a coach to help you acheive your goals. You get one on one encouragement from that person, and daily check in-s.

For the coaches, you can adopt a CCer to help through their struggles. it could be a short term relationship, a long term, or lifetime. Either way you need to be willing to commit to that person's needs, and be willing to talk them away from the fridge when the time comes.

So if you feel the need, sign up to be "adopted" or if you're feeling a little stronger than normal, lend your support to those that are struggling.

The purpose of this is to zone in and give one on one help to those who need it!
Please leave the following information if you're interested in either side of this:
Whether you want to be adopted, or be a coach.

If you're being adopted, what goals are you looking to work on?

What time of day are you available?

How ofetn are you looking for coaching?

Do you prefer email or journal or IM?

If you're a coach, leave this information:

What your skills and strengths are to help coach.

What time of day are you avialable?

How much time are you willing to devote? (IE are you willing to take on someone who needs coaching 6 times a day, or are you only avbailable 1 time a day, week, month whatever)

Happy Adopting! :-)

hey nice idea.

I need a buddy who is going to focus on toning their abs like me. I want to do a grueling 3 week workout and I need someone to do it with me. I found some nice workouts so if anyone is intersted let me know. I will probaly want to do it 3 days a weeks.

oh, suuure, rahana, only post that when you know slappy's taking a break :)

muahahaha.. yup that's cause I know she's taking a break from us. Slappy's got a 6 pack already... :)

Sure, why not?

I'll sign up as a coach. I can coach people on general nutrition and fitness (Coach Dee I'm not), Motivation (I'm a great Cheerleader - Ask Salome!) and just generally be a thorn in their side when they get demotivated :)

If there's any hot single ladies out there that need to be adopted, I'm all for it.  As for nutritional advice and help?  I dunno...I'm not a RAH RAH kinda guy :-P

dammint finewine you take any thing and make it a flirt dont ya.... lol..... :)

Some people can sing.  Some people can paint.  Some people can throw a baseball 99 mph.  Me?  I can turn anything into either a double entendre or some kind of topic of pervertedness.  It's a natural skill.

utah-- i think this is a great idea!  may i adopt YOU???  (i AM old enough to be your MOTHER!)  (maybe even your GRANDMOTHER.)

YEAH! I'm glad people like this thread! We need to corrall finewine, and then we'll be off and running... hehe

I'm so glad everyone is signing up to be coaches! And Elin, you could adopt me if you wanted, but you'd have to share me with United! hehe she's the one that gave me the spark to start this thread!

Corrall me...sounds kinda...kinky.  Who knows, maybe there are some hot available ladies who want...nay, NEED me as their adoptive "daddy".  Never know...

As a thought, it might be all around fairer if gals adopted gals and guys adopted guys..
and safer on the gals.
Sorry, finewine ;)

Nah, thats ok.  I'm a bad coach/motivator/adopter anyways.  Unless someone wants to play Madden....

Oh, I'll totally play Madden :D

Oh it's on like Donkey Kong!  Larry Johnson down your THROAT!!  Hooha!

... whatEVER.

I'm with HK on the idea... and boys need to settle down there...

Well the corral I'm thinking of has nothing to do with kinky... lol And um...finewine... if you say "who's your daddy" I might be a little scared!

Mostly, I recognize that there's probably a pretty even split here between guys who could use a little help and guys who could offer it, because they're experience.

And I think the experience of losing weight IS different betweeng guys and girls, partly because of.. different body ideals, different paces, different calorie needs. It's just.. different.

I think adopting girls with girls and guys with guys is an excellent idea. Of course we're not going to force you, but at least in my experience it's been easier to relate to girls and losing weight than guys and losing.

Happy Adopting everyone!

Well I agree with you guys.. now can someone adopt me  already.. :)

Hmmm, so my choices are finewine or rahana or hkellick...

well, motivated by the desire to not have to call finewine 'daddy' (haha) ... rahana, you up for this??  I'll join you in the fight against flabby abs!  I don't know how well I'll do at coaching, but maybe we can co-coach?  Get each other going with the 3 weeks of abs?

hkellick, I'll let you use your formidable skills on someone else. =)
