Starting over and looking for a buddy

Hey everyone,

I have been on and off CC for a few months, but I have not been fully committed. I have said multiple times I am going to commit myself with no avail. So here it is, I really  need someone to help me stay accountable, and I would like to return the favor while we're at it:)

All I am looking for is someone who is at the beginning of their weight loss who is willing to keep in contact with me so that we can help each other through this.

I am 5'1" and 23 years old. I weigh 154 pounds and would really like to get down to a healthy BMI. My main objective is health (although I would love the added benefits of being thinner :)). Also, I am a student in medicine.

Feel free to add me to your friend list :)

PS: there have been a few people who have checked in on my journal once in a while and I just want to say thanks for your encouragement and I am sorry I have not been more consistent!

Hey Suzi--I started on here a month ago, but only started logging my food about 3 1/2 weeks ago.  So, I am still relatively "new".  I would love to help you be more accountable and YES I could use some help being accountable too.  Check out my profile for more info about me!  Good luck!! :0)

Yeah, any bit of accountability helps over here too!  Wander over my way and add me as a friend :)

Yes, I most definetly need some accountability.  I would love to help and be helped along :)

I'll add you all as friends, and feel free to do the same!

Eww..I am so in the red tonight.  This is the first time ever, since I started logging food!  I am very honest with my food log, and I am surprised I went over tonight.  Hint: If you are making home-made food, make sure you enter your food into the recipe analyzer first to see how many calories it has!!! UGH!!!

P.S--Check my journal for my email address...You can email me if you would like to!

Sorry I was without internet earlier tonight. Thanks for the response! I've added all of you to my buddy list. Hopefully we can all help one another :)

Smare, don't worry it's just one night. You'll be back on by tomorrow!

I'd love to be a friend! I just started here about a week or two ago. I'm just starting to get into it, and I think this could be a very good thing for me. I need to lose about 24 lbs. and right now it feels so far away!! Let's be encouragin to one another. I'm 24 years old and I don't want to waste my youth feeling down about myself.

ssbuckeye I know what you mean.  This is my first day back on the straight and narrow for almost 2 months.  I am 5'2 and currently 141 hoping to reach a goal of 120.  My start weight was 150 and I got as low as 139 and couldn't seem to go any below that.  I really stopped counting my cals and just went buck wild no pun intended. :) stopped excercising, and  I have fluctuated as much as back up to 146. I made up in my mind that I am not giving up.  I was getting frustrated. I did have a goal to reach 120 by February but my on again off again has totally ruined that goal.  I am looking at May 19th now (my 17th wedding anniversary).  Having to be accountable to someone is what I think I need at this point.  It is easy just not to pull up the site when you know that you are just disappointing yourself but when you know someone is pulling for you or may need your encouragement it gives you even more of a purpose to do the right thing.  Great idea!! Please add me to your friends list and I will do the same.  Have a wonderfully healthy day to all!!

Hi Suzi.. Im new on here now and seems we have some things in common.  Im 26 and a nursing student.  Im at 155 and my goal is 135. Id love to stay in touch :)

I am a bit slow and didn't see the last few responses until today.

klcasaletto, aspriggs, and amj1616 I've added you all as friends also. Feel free to contact me at any time and I'll be checking in on you too :)

Hey Suzi! I'm 22.. and I actually live in Cincinnati... I'd be willing to help you out as best as I can.

Hi Suzi! I'm 23 also and have been at CC since April.  Kind of the couple months of success/couple months of going right back to where I was yo-yo.  :)  I'm ready to be serious as well.

I added you to my friends!!  Talk to you soon.

I would love a buddy.  I have been trying for so long.  I am haveing trouble staying committed also.  I will add you to my friends

Hey Melmug, I just added you as a buddy :)
