I need a buddy to keep me accountable!

hcale — Sat, 03 Nov 2007 13:37:42 -0400

I'm looking for a diet/exercise buddy to keep me accountable! Right now, I've lost enough weight to no longer be "overweight" by BMI. I'm 5'5 and 138 pounds, and I've gone from a size 12 to a size 8 since last year. But I still want to lose more weight--there are so many discouraging things in my life; I even have a friend (who's 220 pounds himself) who called me fat recently. I was 115 pounds in high school, and I know with proper diet and exercise I can get back down to that goal weight. But I've hit a plateau and I need someone to stay motivated with! My screenname on AIM is "screenomatophobe".

I've been going to the gym 3 to 4 days a week since March. I already see the difference in my arms but my stomach is getting bigger. I feel muscle tone under the blubber, so why does my stomach look fatter? Am I doing my exercises wrong? Or could I have a big stomach now due to stress?

weight loss scared

angelzbabe — Sat, 08 Sep 2007 16:06:47 -0400

I need to lose weight. i weigh 184 and i'm only 5'4''. i think losing about 40-45 pounds will help. i know my breasts will decrease a little but i was wondering how much? they were the only good thing about the weight gain. im at a 38D rite now. i don't want to go real flat. that would make the whole dieting and exercising all depressing to me and ill probably hate myself even more for losing them. vain i know but they're the only part of my body that im satisfied with. so any ideas how much of them ill lose?

I'd like to welcome you to the Nth incarnation of our site. Over the years if you look at archive.org, you'll see we've done lots of different stuff. Trouble was, nothing really "clicked" with the audience we've gathered in that time, so what we're doing now is focusing on helping people build a support group to fulfill their health, fitness, and weight loss goals. If you have anything in particular you'd like to see us do, add, or change about the site, please let us know!

Looking For A Buddy

wesleys_livi — Fri, 16 Feb 2007 14:47:42 -0500

Hi, I am a 17 year old female. I am about 50 or so pounds overweight. I have been overweight for all of my life that I can remember(I was even a very large newborn), so its really frustrating because I can't even imagine myself thin and healthy looking, kinda just feels like it could never happen. I used to be alot bigger then I am now, but I am still struggling alot with loosing. I am around 5 foot 6 and want to get between 140 to 150 pounds.

Anyways, I would just really like another female trying to loose weight to talk with and motivate each other. Preferably someone who can relate to my situation. Also I need someone who I can talk to online through either MSN, AIM, or Yahoo. I'm not looking for someone to meet in person.

Menopausal Weight Gain

gardengirl — Thu, 08 Feb 2007 11:20:35 -0500

Gaining while trying to lose ! Definite hormone changes. Age 53. Still some mens.'s. Never problem before. Thyroid effect? Prefer safe,powerful,organic/herbal. Heart rhythm issues during different parts of cycle, more pronounced as cycles change. Have looked into Zalestra and EstroThin. Gained 10 pounds (1-2 lbs. per mo.) since March when I quit smoking, but was already beginning to gain. Funky timing. Smoking treatment on ear. Not supposed to have weight gain with that approach. Clothes still fit, but snug. Not comfortable; also I am looking "puffy"(water retention?) and get constipated (used to be morning regular like clockwork). I do not believe I overeat. Metabolism is probably an issue as well. Exercise coming. Any suggestions?

Jazz It Up With Exercise

newfriend — Sat, 27 Jan 2007 06:14:31 -0500

Any suggestions on how to keep fit around the house without buying an expensive piece of equipment?

Need A Buddy

mommy_of_3_kids — Mon, 01 Jan 2007 10:23:32 -0500

I am trying to loose atleast 30 lbs. I do ok with dieting for a week or so but then I fall of the wagon. I need a support buddy. I have tried everything eles. I work full time & its kind of hard to fit a diet plan in to my schedule. A support buddy would be good. We can help each other achieve our wt loss goal. I did well when I had my friend on my back all the time. She was worse that a drill sargent in boot camp. But it worked I lost app. 40 lbs in about 5 months. It really made me pay attention to how much & what kind of food that I was eating. That was when I was in my early 20s. Now I have 3 kids & Im not as motivated as I was then. I am 33 yrs old now & I dont think I could make it through "boot camp" again. Although I am determined to get this wt off of me one way or the other! Any body need a buddy????

Cannot Lose Weight

grymm — Tue, 12 Dec 2006 11:23:40 -0500

My diet is perfect. Limit red meats, lots of veggies with greens, pretty much eliminated sweets and processed sugar altogether. Lots of whole grains and fruit. Lots of water. I'm 5'10 and weigh 195. I need to lose 20 pounds minimum. The reason is this. I am a partially disabled veteran. My back and legs have permanent, inoperable nerve damage. I am in pain 24/7. I only take a narcotic pain killer at night, just to sleep. I don't take any steroidal meds. Here's the problem. I eat no more than about 1500 calories per day, and with minimal fat. My diet is healthy as a horse. I also just successfully quit smoking. So now, for some reason, my weight is creeping up...and my pain is increasing at the same pace because of the increase in weight. Now the big problem. I cannot exercise. Nothing. No running, swimming, riding, or even walking. Now, I can walk, thank god, but not for lengthy periods of time. Maybe a block before the pain gets too bad. Weight training is also out of the question because of the strain on my back. Believe me, I've worked with weight loss coaches and trainers. None of them have helped. If I cannot stop the weight gain I will have no choice but to cut my diet to 1000 calories a day and start smoking again. I know it's not a good choice but if my pain increases I cannot work. If I cannot work, I cannot support my family. So, with all this in mind, how do I lose weight? I've tried to increase my calories, with no luck. I've tried different ways to eat (small meals throughout the day, etc), with no luck. Is there something I can do or am I screwed? Grymm

90 Pounds In Less Than A Year

teddybear — Wed, 11 Oct 2006 12:19:18 -0400

I have been between 130 and 150 pounds my whole life (except pregnancies). In less than 2 years I have gained 90 pounds. I eat 1200 calories a day. I exercise 1 to 3 hours a day 6 days a week. One doctor diagnosed me with hypothyroidism about 6 months ago, he prescribed Levothyroxine 75 MCG. After 5 months without one single pound of weight gone my doctor prescribed Phentermine. The Phentermine is great because it takes away those monthly cravings and helps on those days when you want more than your calorie requirement. I have not lost 1 pound on that because I am still eating 1200 calories a day but now it's just easier. My doctor still insists that I'm overeating and not exercising enough. I tell him what I am eating and my exercise routine and he doesn't believe me or something cause he keeps telling me he knows the hypothyroidism isn't causing my weight gain. HElP ME!!!

Seeking Buddy

suzanmae — Mon, 25 Sep 2006 12:00:03 -0400

Hi! I'm new here. My name is Suzie. I am 19 and recently gained 30 extra pounds due to college/depression. I have always been kind of chubby, but I used to be a pretty avid runner, but food has always been a big issue for me. Anyhow, I am trying to change my life before it affects my health, so I am looking for a "buddy" who wants to get fit together! I know that it helps dieting/working out when you have someone to commit to and share goals with. I'm a pretty good workout buddy, but my weakness is nutrition (so don't be intimidated by my enthusiasm). Any takers? I am looking for a buddy who is really committed to making a change using small steps. - Suzie

Overeating

schnecke — Sun, 10 Sep 2006 10:25:35 -0400

I am 37 with 2 step children(living with us ) and 1 child. The situation with my step daughters mother is very bad and it stresses me out a lot. My husband works 2nd shift and weekends so after work I am always with the chikldren and have to deal with their mother. I guess the point is that I feel isolated( since I cant go anywhere) and I get a little depressed so I EAT. I am fine while I'm at work but once I get home I eat. Please help. Oh, I am not from around here so I do not have any friends or family close by to help out, Thanks for your advice! Tina
