I would like some "Diet Buddies"

If anyone is interested.. I just think it helps me to have people I kinda know.. to talk to each day .. I mean I love talking to everyone.. everyone is AWESOME here .. But it helps me if I know more about people.. I'm Deanna~ I'm 39 from Texas ~~ Yehaw.. I'm a 5th grade school teacher .. and I have 5 kids of my own~~I have a webpage of my weight losses.. I lost a great deal at one time.. but now am kinda stuck with the same 40 lbs.. I keep losing and gaining it~ I really think this is going to work this time.. I have read so many sucess stories and it all boils down to ~~~count calories and exersice.. I don't wanna diet the rest of my life. I just wanna be healthy, and be around to watch my kids and grandkids grow up.. well, If you wanna be buddies.. We can leave messages here each day or we can email.. my email is on my profile.. Thanks.. and Goodluck to you ALL!!! Godspeed~ Deanna

I added you to my friends.  I'd love to be a diet buddy.  Especially since I have been stuck and less motivated myself lately!

Ok. Hello Texas Girl, I'm Rosemary, 22 years old, from New Jersey. I have a 4 year old daughter, I'm married, stay-at-home mom, but I will love to be one of your diet buddies, if you let me. So, what do you say? Cause I kinda think like you, we all need friends in life and I happen to be one who does not have friends at all. But I am looking for one, at least somebody that I can talk to about diets, kids and all that. So if you want to, just reply again. Sincerely, Rosemary.

Thanks for adding me .. Tell me more about yourselfs ~~ Anyone else need a buddy?

Hey Lori~~ Lets get motivated~~Where are you from?

ahh Rosemary I will be your friend~~

Hey I definitely could use some online friends. Im 24 from California. I work full time, I'm single, no kids (yet!) I have been dieting since sept/oct. and I am losing motivation! Hopefully we can motivate eachother!

I'd love to be a part of this too. I'm 31 and I live in California. Work full-time in a crazy hectic high-stress job.  Married, no kids. 20 pounds has creeped on over the last several years and I want them gone.  Been taking off and putting back on the first 5 lbs for a year now.  I need to motivate!!! 

COOL~~~ We have 2 Califorianians ~~ and New Jersey~~ a Texan~~ and where ever Lori is from?? Cool.. Ok now lets motivate ourselves.. any ideas. ?? Its so cold here~ it is killing my exercise. I loved walking outside. Do ya'll have Curves there ? I really like that place and how it tones up my body .. but I can never find the time. Do ya'll exercise? Let me know what I can do to help ya'll??

Anybody else wanna join??

Have an AWESOME day ~Deanna

If any of you need some motivation, I am here for any of you, I reached my goal weight here on Thursday though I am now shooting for 180 so I can have a buffer zone of 180-185 and still feel good about myself. So with that said feel free to email me or anything if you need some motivation because I have been doing this weekly for a friend too. :)

Cool~~ Txd. What is your email? what have you been doing to reach your goal. Thanks ~~Deanna

I added you. :)
I've been looking for friends, too (joined yesterday) and you're my first one! I'm a 20 (21 in January) year old girl from California. Like you, I don't want to forever be dieting, I just want to develop better habits. :D

Cool Thanks TKD~~ Thats AWESOME~~~

Okay I am back from the meeting, what did you exactly want to know?

Hey guys! Another Texan here! Yeeehawww! Just thought I would pop in and say hey! Add'd few of ya to my friends list. Check out the journals. That's how most of us keep in touch online on a day to day basis. I am always lookin' for new buddies that can help me to achieve my goal in weight loss and kick me in the rear to get me to the gym. I have two girls and hubbie and work full time so I have about 3 full time jobs. ha ha ha! Anyways, welcome aboard and feel free to email me anytime....email is on my profile page.

Hi Deanna,

I added you to my friends list.  Yes, we all need others for encouragement don't we.  December is a tough month to get through "calorie"wise that is.  I'm from Michigan and have 2 girls, 14 and 10 yo.  That makes the 10 yo a 5th grader.  She has an outstanding teacher, I bet you are one too.  I need to start my journal.  I'll look into that.

I added you to my friends list. If you have a tought time or have questions about training or nutrition, i am happy to help

I've got a question before I get too excited, here...  how much are you all trying to lose?  I've gained about 60 pounds in the last 5 years, and it's got to go.  60 pounds is a lot, so I get a little frustrated when I hear about people trying to lose 10 or 20 pounds (unless it's the LAST 10 from a 50 pound loss).

does that make sense?  But I would LOVE some accountabillity!

I'm one of the 20-pounders, so I may not be the one you want to hear from.  But, it's significant to me, especially on my particular 5'5" frame. 

Deanna - I'm adding you as a friend.  :))

^^ I am just trying to get in the range of 180-185 right now after six months ago being at 225+. So I was just coming in here if someone needed motivation and also if they needed someone to talk to. More importantly to keep myself on track at the same point also.

I would love to join too! I am new to this site and do not have any friends on here yet. I am 24 female, married, with a son and a daughter. I am currently 186 looking to get down to 135. Any one interested let me know. I sure could use a support buddy. Thanks!

I am wanting to lose about 60 pounds. That will put me at my "ideal" weight. I shoot for small goals.....10 pounds in 3-4 months so I dont get too discouraged, but my overall weightloss goal is 60 pounds.
