need a motivation buddy!

i'm looking for someone to help keep me on track.

i'm 5 foot 1 inch tall and weight 153. i started losing weight this summer and was 170 at my biggest. since coming back to school, i've gained 3 pounds. i constantly snack and eat junk. i need someone to help me be accountable for my calorie intake and i can help them stay motivated as well. my goal weight is around 130. my BMI tells me i should weigh less, but i have a very muscular build. once i'm down to 130, i will see if i want to lose more.

we are pretty close in stats.   I could be your buddy.  ( :

I am 5'6, 153 this morning.   My original goal when I started cc at 230, was to get to 150 and see how I felt, but I will be keeping it going now.   It;s too easy not to try....   

Are in high school or college?   I teach high school, so going back to work after having the whole summer to myself to workout and chill was hard....  but good since I have a strict eating schedule, etc.... I also make myself drink 3 33oz bottles of water every day (or try).

Are you finding a few things hard?  You mentioned snacking and junk ---   if you wat more cals spaced throughout the day, I find I eat far less when I have a planned snack, also no junk in the house makes it hard to splurge on junk.   : P  

do you work out??  I find that helps me A LOT!!!!!!!!!!  If I work out, I have 250+ more clas to eat....  and if I workout, then I am less likely to ruin my hard, sweaty work on food....     

holler at me.  I am a good cheerleader friend.   ( :

well I really need motivation as well right now.  I was doing good for the summer and all of a sudden boom I gained 9lbs ugh.  I was running 5k 6 days a week and now nothing.  I was even weight lifting.  I am 5'4 and just weighed in at 165 I want to cry so bad, which makes me want to drink which makes me want to eat!!! I am a bing eater there I said it! :)  If you want to hold yourself accountable to someone feel free to pm me.  Good luck.  I think I will try to run a little tomorrow wow see you motivated me already. lol

hi leslee!   GO RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(((did it work??)))

I am a runner too.... and ride a bike and lift weights.    Holler if you need a cheerleader!~    ( : 

well I did it!! I took off and did my 5k route with the dog.  It felt great!! i thought to myself I wouldn't be able to move but so far it's 24 hours later and I can still walk normal :)  I will go out again tomorrow morning too.  Wow the energy.  I just get bored running I reach my goal and then don't know what to do.  I can't work on my time i am very slow and I just have a good slow speed that works for me.  And now it's not light out until 8:00am so i can't go in the morning unless it's on the weekend.  I guess I will have to bit the bullet and start using my elliptical during the week.  Are you following a weight lifting plan? 

yes,   4 days a week I lift.   that is...until the ex-bf take the Bowflex. 

I run in the pure dark in KS this time of year,   invigorating,.   =P  wish I had an elliptical .....
