need a buddy for 90 days

writergirl · Posted: Mon May 19, 2008 3:04 am Post subject: need a buddy for 90 days

My husband is terminally ill and the last year has been miserable. Unfortunately, I'm a stress eater and have been putting it away, especially in the past few weeks. I work at a school, so I go on summer break soon and plan on cutting calories and doing treadmill, weightlifting. I'd like a buddy for support. So much easier to do it with someone.

If you want to start with me this week, I'd love to get to know you

So...i have done the yoyo thing forever it seems...last week, i said enough is enough...i ordered phentermine online (its worked for me in the past) and i have been hugely watchign my intake and also cutting out parts of my meal (i.e. i have been leaving parts of my meal untouched and throw away at the end so that i can see how much i am lessening my meals). Phentermine arrived on Thursday, my weight on Fri morning (i weigh in the mornings because its easiest...) and i was 265.6! CRAP! the lowest i have been in the last 15 yrs or so was about 170 (i was a size 8 i guess i hold my weight well). Thats my new goal. This morning, i was down 3 pounds...but i really would like some online friends to go along this journey with. With nicer weather (i live in Montana) I want to get out and DO more..however given that i used to RUN 3 miles a day, then I would walk an additional 3-4! these days id be lucky to break 3 blocks without keeling over! i will get this weight off...i will i will i will!!!

I wanna a buddy too. I've been using the biggest loser dvds I haven't been keeping up on them. But today is a new day. Maybe we should do a weekly weigh in like every friday?

Hey wirtergirl, vanessaw, and everyone else...I would love to begin your buddy system. I'm horrible with exercise and I won't take pills....so it's just going to be portion control for me. I'm sure the weight won't come off as fast...but i'm sure it won't go back on that fast either. I'm currently 187lb....see you guys on Friday

cool! a bunch of writers. that's something I've been slack on lately too. my publisher wants a partial of the next story and I don't know what to send. afraid to commit to something I might not be able to finish within the next six months.
