Morning Folks!!

I was wondering if any of you have a weight loss buddy - someone you exercise with or someone you are trying to lose weight with? (besides all of us!!) Just curious because my mom has decided to try this with me. She's a full-time retired RVer, so she's not here in town with me, but she's wants to have someone to compare pounds with!! So I added her to my weight loss chart and since she doesn't have computer access, I told her I'll keep track for her. She started trying to lose (again! like many of us) a week ago.

So here's Mom's stats:

199/196/150 5'6"

Go Mom!!! (wonder if I can catch her?!?!)

No, I did it on my own. But good you have your Mom with you, as your "weight loss buddy."

That's great that you have your mother as your weight loss buddy! You two should really be able to motivate each other. I don't have a weight loss buddy, I just come here.

My weight loss buddy is living in Japan! One of my closest friends and former roommate bailed out on me and moved to Japan to teach English a year ago and she'll be there for another year. To support each other we meet on msn a few times a week and chat - sometimes it's to rant and whinge about our bodies but we always add in the positives.

I wouldn't mind a real person...but most of them are skinny already....arrrggggggg!!!

Kerstin,

I know what you mean about those "skinny friends". My 2 best friends are twigs! Fortunately (?) one lives in Colorado - she's 5'2" and 100 pounds soaking wet and the other one is in California - she's 5'6" and about 115-120 on a "fat" day. So...... I am lucky that they both love me for who I am and my weight has NEVER been an issue for either one of them... just for ME!!! But, that is going to change. I am going to make it happen.

Here's to me!!

Ahh! My best friend is a skinny wench too! She is probally about 120lbs and wears a size 4-size 6. She has NEVER made me feel bad about my weight and she knew me when I was a size 8 (am now between an 18 and a 20). Not to say she hasn't suggested things for me to try, but that was only in response to me witchin' and moaning about my weight. I just love her...

Wish I could raid her closet!

Maybe someday....
