Hello, I am 5'5, 29 years old, and I currently weigh 245 lbs. I need to lose at least 45 lbs. to be where I am satisfied. I am looking for a weight loss friend, and any extra advise... Thank you...

Hello :

I am looking for a buddy as well.  So if you want to do this together, I am here for you.

My name is Victoria.  I also have instant messenging, if you want to 'talk'

Have a good weekend.

I am 32 years old and also looking for a buddy. I belive in the buddy system. I am 5'2 and i'm 214. I would love a buddy. I've been surching all over the internet for a web site like this to make friends to help each other lose weight. Is today your starting day?

Hello, well first of all, I also have instant messaging and I would love to talk. Secondly, I think it would be good if we just start off fresh tommorrow. I am 29 years old, 5'5, and I currently weigh 245 lbs. I think that it would be so fun to actually have some weight loss buddies. It is always easier to me if you have someone to share your weight loss journey with (well, if you can anyway). Thank ya'll for responding and I would love to start this thing right on up. If you would rather start on Monday, then just let me know. I know how it is to want to enjoy your weekend, but if you would rather start on tommorrow, I am all for it because to me, the sooner the better. Well, ya'll just let me know.....

Hi, I also would love a WL buddy. I am 25 and currently weigh 190. Since I have met my husband I have gained 50 lbs, and it makes me unhappy and crabby. I would love to loose the weight and feel great again. Any help I can get/give would be great. I'm ready to start now.     :) 

I also have instant messaging...

Well, there we have it. A weight loss buddie group. Welcome everyone, this is just an idea, but I think that it would be great to go ahead and start posting our weight first thing in the morning, and from there on be sure to post in every week, which in the case if we start tommorrow would be every Saturday. Does this sound good to everyone???

I'm in.  I think partnering up is a great way to lose weight.

Hello ladies ;

As I mentioned I do have instant messenging, so if any ( or all! ) of you wish to have a chat, then please by all means add me to your contact list, when I get the notification, I will accept and then you will automatically be added to my list .

My name is Victoria.  My IM is  :    misspossum@inbox.com

Quick details :  Will be 48 next month.  Have suffered from binge eating disorder since I was 22, which was back in 1983.   Have also been anorexic for a brief time, so I have weighed a low of 103 and a high of 211 and everything in between.  I am currently 184, and I am 5 foot 1 inch and in menopause.

If IM is not your thing or you do not have it, and you prefer to PM me, by all means, do.

I am willing to listen and offer any support/guidance that I can.  As I help somebody else I also help myself.

Victoria.  

hey guys, I'm all about weightloss buddies, I'm 5'3 186 I actually started here on the 12th of dec and at 190 so, so far so good.

Hi All!

I am Maggie. I am 44, 5 '6" and weigh 178 pounds. I gained 20 pounds in one year! I do not know what happened to me - other than laziness and a love of food - LOL.

I am having a hysterectomy in 10 days. I started getting my heart in shape a couple of months ago when I knew this was coming up. I would  like to lose 40 lbs over the next 5 - 6 months. I do not know how the surgery will effect my progress but I would really enjoy having a buddy.

Please feel free to contact me at maggieh814@gmail.com.

Best wishes to all of us!

Maggie

this is so great. How do I get instant messanger? Please help.

Hello everyone. I am so glad that all of you have joined. I noticed that someone asked how do you go about getting the instant messaging, but I am going to have to let someone else answer that question because I personally would like to increase my message sending limit also, but I do not know how to do it. Can someone please help us with this. Hey yall, but until then, we are currently weighing in every Saturday, unless someone wants to do it more often than that. Well, welcome All, and I am so glad that ya'll have joined.....

My IM id is reginalynncreations. feel free everyone to add me so we can all chat.

Hello RL :

I have just gotten notification to be added to your contact list, after installing the necessary Yahoo toolbar and password, I see that it went thru, I then added you on to my own IM system, which is MSM.   So hopefully all should go well and we can connect.

For those interested in IM - basically you can google Yahoo Instant messenger or MSM IM.  Then download it, you will have to create a new email address connected with it, whether you use it or not.  I love it and can not be without it, as it replaces to a large degree expense phone calls for me, especially as I am in a long distance relationship with my fiance who lives in England.

Your contact list will light up in green when one of your contacts is online, you simply right click to start 'chatting'.   If you are online and one of your contacts signs on, you will get a small notification on your screen saying they have just logged in.

So............it has been decided that Saturday is our group's weigh in day ?  Great !   Count me in.   Weighed this morning and was 184,  down from 185 when I began on Christmas Day.

C'mon guys, let' do this, and all encourage, inspire and help each other out !!

Happy 2009 !!

Victoria 

Hi all - is it too late to join?

I am 27yrs old, 5'6" and approx 186 - would really like to get to 150, and lower if possible.

Good luck all!

Hello everyone

I was also curious if it was to late to join?

I am 26yrs old, 5'6" and 190. I would really like to lose at least 40-50lbs!

Hope to be able to join!  

Newlook08, of course it is not to late to get in. You are more than welcome. This group is all about support, and I know that together we can do this. The weight loss battle is not something that you can easily win, but with support and with a made up mind and self discipline, we can do it. For everyone that wants to join, it is never too late. If you did not get a chance to weigh in on Saturday, then just weigh in as soon as you can. Then we can all weigh in on next Saturday. I am going to be also writting all of you personally as soon as I figure out how to do the instant messaging. Well, welcome everyone and good luck on this weight loss journey...

Welome teener and all....... Welcome, welcome, welcome.....

Not too late at all, welcome and please join us !!!

As an aside if any of you ladies are walkers and own a pedometer, can we add our weekly steps as well,  when we post our weights every Saturday ?

Just a thought !   I love my pedometer, I like watching the number go up and up and up !!     I use it when I do long walks in the street, but when I use my treadmill, I watch the figures on the machine itself.  ( it does not give steps as my treadmill is now 7 years old, but gives milage, time and approx calorie burn )
