Looking for a weight loss buddy

Hi there. I never seem to find the time to post enough on this site! So, a little bit about me and what I'm looking for in a weight loss buddy.

I am a 24 year old red head that weighs 216 lbs at a whopping 5'7" tall. However, I don't look like I weigh that much. I don't want to follow what all the charts say exactly because the charts don't work with my body type at all. I'm looking to get down to 165 lbs. 173 was my weight in highschool and I'd honestly be happy with that. I work ridiculous amounts of hours between my two jobs. Something like 65 to tops of 93 hours per week. So obviousely, I sleep VERY little. I also have no idea when to eat because of the amount of time I stay awake.

I'm hoping this will change to a degree. I'm always going to be one of those people that never sleeps and is a work-a-holic. But I want to tone it down. I'm going back to school this fall and my schedule will run so that I will be working 2nd shift rather than NOC's. I think that maybe this will help with my eating. Right now I'm attempting to keep my calories in the 1500 range, but I'm seeing little improvement and get discouraged easily. Which brings me to what I'm looking for in a weight loss buddy.

I'm looking for someone like me. Big suprise, right? I'm looking for someone that I can text or instant message anytime and they can do the same for me to give eachother little reminders throughout the day to make the right choice in food and remember to go to the gym. I'd do the same for them. It doesn't really matter where they're from, sexual orientation, gender(though I'd kinda prefer a girl, way too many men in my life right now) just that they have a similar goal and similar lifestyle. And of course, if either of us needs to break off the relationship at anytime, I'd hope they'd be as understanding as I would be.

Oh, and being a phan of Phish would help too, because I'm obsessed with them. If I was a guy, I'd totally be gay for Trey.

My yahoo IM is hararayne if anyone's interested! I really hope someone bites!

Hiya, I would love to be your weight loss buddy! I started a diet diary on facebook (in a private group), in the hope my close friends would nag me, but so far, no nagging! Probably cos most of the members are a bit overweight and not currently on a diet (didn't want skinny people to join haha). I am 25 years old, and my heaviest weight was 210 lbs, and i am 5 foot 8 (and a half), so we are quite similar really. Oh, and my hairs been red for years, only just dyed it brown with a small splash of pink lol. I think we are lucky being tall as we can carry the weight better. Although i think when your taller you have to lose more weight to drop a dress size (Boooooooo!).

I can't believe how many hours a week you work, you must be too tired to cook proper meals. I guess its easier to get takeaways and lots of snacks. But it can be done! You just gotta plan meals for the week including packed lunches, then theres no excuse. I think it will help when you go back to school as well, you will hopefully have a lot more energy and vavavoom, so that you don't get a bit lazy with the tiredness. When you feel like your walking through treacle, the last thing you want to do is eat a salad when your driving past a mcdonalds. Look at me being all patronising lol when we are the same weight! I have lost 55lbs before eating low gi foods, I kept it off for 2 years, then i moved to suburbia where i wasn't happy, and ate for england. I have been wanting to lose weight for almost a year and a half and i have been on loads of little diets, none of them have lasted for more than a month. Thats why I think it would be good to be nagged a bit, it might make all the difference between giving up and it lasting this time. Also, if you are nagging someone else, its hard to be a hypocrite and start stuffing your own face! I am in england, not sure how much extra it is for international texts, but if your happy with the cost then i am, or we could email if you'd prefer?

And finally, I haven't even heard of Phish I'm afraid, the only Phish I'm a fan of is ben and jerry's phish food!
 
As I'm in Australia and in a way different time zone I probably couldn't be your text buddy (unless you want subliminal messages in your sleep?..hehe). But I can come on your diary page and nag the shit out of you when you feel you're slipping. And of course, you can do the same for me. I promise you will have ample opportunity. :)
 
hi overtherainbow

I actually very rarely come on here anymore because I began a new medium. I'm now a youtuber. Please look me up on there under the same screenname of hararayne. I'm also on facebook. But I'll send you a private message about that. Lol
