Hello, Phyliss
I would very much like to be your support buddy. I also have over 100 pounds to lose and would love to have someone to share the journey with. Please, feel free to e-mail me. I am new at this site, so I'm not exactly sure I'm doing this correctly. I hope to hear from you soon. Petuniaboo

I just left my new weight management doctor's office and will be starting the program on 6/29. I need to lose 130 lbs. and would like to partner with someone who has a lot to lose and is just getting started.

If you're interested in a diet buddy, please let me know, as I am willing to give support as well as receive it. Thanks.

------------------

Hello. I would like to wish you well in your journey and also offer some company.
I am just starting, I have to lose 150# and I am trying to do it pretty much on my own (just diabetic diet and exercise) so feel free to email if you choose.

Good luck

I'm a newbie too - I've not been to this site before, but it appears there are a lot of supportive people here. This is the second day of my new way of life. My goal(s) have been set and are in writing. My long term goal is to lose 110 lbs. At approx. 2 lbs a week I should reach my goal weight of 130 lbs by August 2001. My short term goal is to lose 50 by the end of December. Yippee that would put me under 200 - can't wait for that. I've been there before and know how good it feels. We can be in the long haul together if you would like. Keep smilin and hang in there :-)

Hello everyone. Today I decided to start on my journey to lose 135 lbs. I've started this journey over and over for the past 3 years and only end up gaining weight! I've been motivated before, have the best of intentions, and then I come home from work stressed out, tired, and all my resolve is gone. I've tried doing it with friends, but we all have such different schedules, that it is hard to connect at the time of day when I need support the most. So I decided to get on to a chat room and see if I could find some buddies who want to do this together. You all sound like you have already started and are totally motivated. If I could just get through a couple of weeks doing the diet and the exercise with no excuses, I think I could get past the 'beginning' phase. Please share with me how you all got started - how did you get through the first few weeks, months, etc?

i would love to have a buddy. I am new to this site and i need to lose 100 pounds.
E-mail me.

HELLO THERE! I, along with all these other supportive people would like to be your buddy as well, just email me and we could keep each other up when we both need big kicks in our butts! I'll be waiting to hear from you and welcome aboard.

Wow, there are so many new people in this post! That's so great.... welcome to diettalk all of you and just know that you've come to the right place for support. It's a wonderful place with lots of different people doing different things, but regardless of how we are getting to our goals we are still able to give each other encouragement and hope. Use the bulletin board as often as you can and the chat room is great, too. It's a nice way to get to know people a little better. E-mail me anytime.... take care and good luck to each one of you!

Here's to healthy and happy!

I really appreciate all the responses to my request for a buddy. I've been ill for almost 2 weeks and didn't check the board, so I'm sure many of you have found a buddy already. If you would still like to chat, please email soon.
