looking for a buddie to lose around 50 lbs. Is anyone out there??? 29 years old 245 lbs.

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 all!

I'm 30 and I weigh 202lbs. Does anybody live in the Washington, DC or Baltimore areas? If not, then it's ok, I'm still looking for a weight loss buddy. I've been on CC for a week now and it's rough!!

That sounds fun but where can I find a GOOD pedometer. I hear some of the bad ones count you sitting or bending as a step and I dont want that, Im not rich but I dont really care the cost if its accurate, I know Ive spent more money on junk food than things that can change/save my life.

Hi Romiga :

I have a 10 buck step counter, after having quite a few digital pedometers in the past and am happy with this one.

It has no 'bells and whistles'  it is a simple step counter with a digital readout, no calorie burn, no distance, nothing.

Made by Sportline.  I think if I am not mistaken I got it from Pedometers.com.

I do remember that it was $ 10 and no tax or shipping either !

BTW :   I did 9,588 steps on my second walk of the day !   go me !! 

Count me in.

I'm 34 and have put on a lot of weight in the last couple of years. I'm 190 lbs and would like to get back down to 130 by Fall.

I'm currently counting calories and doing Pilates and Tae bo  six times a week.

Hey everybody.  I hope that I am doing this instant messaging thing right, but as of right now, I do not think that I am. I went to yahoo. com, and I put in my email address. I do see on there where it has whether or not you have any new mail. I also see a place where it says messaging, so I was wondering should I be doing something with the mail button or the message button. This may seem like a crazy question, but I honestly do not know what to do on it. Is there another way to go about doing this? Or should I just not worry about it, but the only thing is that if I do not get instant messaging, I think that I can only send like 2 messages per day and that sucks..... Will someone please help me out with this. Thank you in advance.....

If you want to send people more that 2 messages you have to add them as a buddy. Just click on there user name above their post, then above their name to the right it will give you a chance to add them as a buddy. Then you can send them messages. If you add me I will walk you thought yahoo instant messaging.

Are we weighing in today on this post? If so I'm down to 205.6. That's a total of 8.4lbs. My first weigh in was with jeans on right after a big meal so that's kinda cheating. (I think) I'm sure a lot is water weight. but right now I don't care. LOL I have met a lot of great people on here. Thank you to everyone that has been chatting with me at night. It really helps me. Good Luck eveyone!!!

Great job Reginalynn. I have to confess though I actually have gained weight. I currently weigh 247.5. It is totally my fault. I will definetly have to do better next week......

Keep on trying...never give up. We can do this. I've been jazzed this first week. I know it's gonna get harder, but at least we are a week into it. Remember what it was like when you were telling your self "I'll start a diet next week, and then push it off until next week" well you didn't do that. It's already been one week and your still going. So congrads...We can do it!

Well congrats to all who lost weight this week that is great!! I on the other hand regret to say that I have not lost any weight I have in fact gained 4 pounds! My mom went into the hospital on wed and I have been in and out of the hospital waiting rooms. I have been super worried/stressed and bored while waiting for hours on end so I unfortunately turned to food to comfort me

:( O well whats done is done I am hoping next week to have taken that 4 pounds back off!!

Hope everyone has a great week!

Hello I'm Kellie I am 30 yrs old and recently quit smoking and have suffered rather large weight gain due to it, i am looking to loose about 80 pnds, i have instant messaging if anyone is interested

Hello everyone! I'm Leslie and I am a 21 year old nurse who is looking to lose alot of weight! I started on CC in August, lost 24 pounds, gained back 11 and have relost 4.  The holidays are a really hard time to lose. I vowed that I would get back on trac kthe 26th and did. That day I was 231.

SW 241

SW 26th- 231

CW 225.6

I am determined! It is my goal to lose 31 pounds by April 10th. My hubby and I are taking a vacation to Vegas. Lets keep each other going! Good luck and exercise!

Leslie, congrats on getting back on track. so you've lost about 6lbs since Christmas? Good Job... welcome to the group!!!!

hey my name is Kitty,
i am 20 in less than a month and i currently weigh 205lb.i am 5 ft 1. My ideal weight is about 140lb. by the end of august!(when i return to university)(Which then will have a target of 112lb)

i have always struggled with eating and have tried weight watchers and other plans but due to not having much money i prefer to try myself.

This is the heaviest i have ever been havig put on weight due to a breakup about 7 month ago.

I am starting my diet tomorrow so hope it goes well!!! i am plainng to eat 1600 calories a day and go to the gym 3/4 times a week for a hour each time.

I have a boyfriend who tends to love his chocolate ad fizzy drinks though so that is another reason where i usually fail:(

Does any one have any advice?

Hope someoe gets i contact:)i would love to have a buddy to go through his with!

my email address is G33KKitty@hotmail.com

Good luck every one:)

Kitty I know just how you feel. I lost 40 lbs 5 years ago and then got a divorce and gain 66lbs back. I did WW and lost a 20 but gained them back. So here I am. I started CC dec. 26 at 214. In just 10 days I'm down 9lbs. I'm really needing a good chat buddy. WE CAN DO THIS!

I can fix a big healthy dinner and right after my husband grabs a banana and peanut butter and starts chowing it down. He is always eating something. And doesn't gain weight. Does your boyfriend support your effort? Look at it like this: You know the old saying "if everybody jumps off a bridge does that mean your going to" Just keep the image you want to be in your mind. It is possible. Just think Kitty...you can be one of those hot little collage girls too. (If that's what you want!) my email is reginalynncreations@yahoo.comand my Yahoo IM idea is reginalynncreations feel free to drop me a line anytime!
