Hello all!  I just joined today.  I have some weight that I need to lose and my problem is keeping that weight off!! I'm an emotional eater and whenever I get stressed all I want to do is eat..eat...and then eat some more! I don't know when to stop =/ It's kinda sad.  Everyone around me is happy with their lifestyle and eating habits.  I feel like no one understands me and is truly on the same page as me when I say I want to lose weight and eat healthy.  Not saying they aren't supportive but it's just hard to be around people who love to eat just as much as I do but don't suffer the consequences of massive weight gain.  I;m looking for a buddy to stay motivated and focused with.  I know if I have someone depending on me to be there and do what I say I am going to do...then I know I will get it done..NO EXCUSES!!!  If anyone out there is ready to lose some weight and needs a buddy to talk to and lose weight with....please let me know!!! Thanks!!! :)

I joined this site 3 months ago, but don't have a buddy yet.  I've been gradually losing weight since my son was born (8 months ago) and still have 15 lbs left til my goal weight.  It might not seem like much, but I'm only 5'3.  I've had to be extra careful about eating right because I'm breastfeeding and need to have enough vitamins for both of us.

I've only recently found time to catch up on my reading, but then came another problem:  I'm a snackaholic with a book!  I keep my house stocked up with healthy snacks, but I went through an apple, 8 carrot sticks, 1/2 cup raisins, and a whole bag of low fat popcorn before lunch time and was still hungry!  I'm going to start trying sugarless gum to see if it's just an urge to chew.

I know what you mean about being the only one who cares.  My husbands has a few more pounds to lose than me but doesn't have any motivation to work out or change his diet.  He eats lunch at school or work most days and some times dinner as well, and doesn't try healthier options even though I've completely re-done what we keep in the fridge and cupboards.

Hi there.....

Congratulations on your weight loss!!!

I just joined today!! I joined WW and I love the program but I am having such a hard time with it. I feel like I have no will power. I have struggled with my weight for so long and feel like giving up sometimes. I would really like someone to talk to as well...I feel like that would help me a whole lot. What do you think helped you this month with your weight loss? Please do share.

Hi I joined today. I also joined the Biggest Loser. I have 85 pounds to lose and I need a buddy also. Am willng to be your buddy!

Hi.  I just joined today and I am looking for support also.  I have 60-80 lbs to lose!!!! I started the Biggest Loser Jump Start program yesturday and I love it but I have one major problem.  I have a husband who can eat whatever he wants and not gain a pound!!!!!!!! I do great during the day when it is just me and the kids but at night when the kids are in bed and he and I are spending our time together he snacks CONSTANTLY and it is really hard for me to resist.  I tell him about it and he has cut back or he eats things I don't like but it is SOOOOO very hard.  I want this so very bad and through preparation for starting this jump start plan I have had to take a serious look at how I got this big and why I haven't done enough about it.  I know I can do this, I know I deserve to be healthy but that evening snacking is killing me!!!! I am not an emotional eater but I am also trying to quit smoking so I do tend to want to snack when the cig cravings hit.  I am down to 5 cigs a day but I really want to be down to 0.  I could really use a weight loss/health buddy!!!!

hi,

how much do you need to lose????..I'm looking for a buddy who has alot to lose

I'm totally willing to be buddies with anybody and everybody.  I have a lot of weight to lose, about 95-100 pounds.  I have always been big and years ago I did lose a ton of weight, about 60 pounds.  Then I moved to Louisiana and met my now husband.  When I met him I completely slacked off on exercising and started eating unhealthy foods, like most people in Louisiana do, and put on maybe 15 pounds.  Then I got pregnant with our first and gained about 50 pounds, I lost a little bit of it after she was born but then got pregnant again when she was only 6 months old, I lost that baby and got depressed and kept my weight on for awhile.  I started working more and ended up losing about 30 pounds, but 8 months after my miscarriage I got prenant again and gained all the weight back, plus some.  When this baby was only 4 months old I got pregnant again and gained another 30 pounds.  Between all of the back to back pregnancies I have gained a ton of weight and have not had enough time between them to lose any of it.  I also lost a ton of confidence that I am not trying to rebuild.  I joined this site to learn to cook healthier foods and to raise my kids to choose healthier foods as well so that they won't go through what I did growing up as a big girl.  Anyone who wants to buddy up just let me know!!  BTW, we should just ALL be each others buddies!
