Hiya!
I'm pretty much brand new here (i had been using the forum for weight-loss tips (really helpful btw!) but hadn't actually registered).

Lil bit bowt me:
Height: 5'6.5'' (that .5 is important! lol)
Heaviest: 170lbs
Current : 158 lbs

I want to lose weight to feel better about mysef, make buying clothes much eaiser and to be healthier! :hurray:

And I really need help with motivation!! What's the best way to find a weight-loss buddy in similar circumstances? Or join a club? Is there a weekly weigh-in section that people use regularly?

Any reply wud be really appreciated! Thank you!

Hello and Welcome xPinkFluffx
Both you and I already share plenty in common, I'm about the same age as you, 5'6 (just 5'6 hehe)
my heaviest was 170-180 pounds and I'm 158 right now. My goal is to be 120!
Now you know what that means..you've gotta stay here, don't wonder away from us now hehe =P
I think the best way to find a weight-loss buddy is by asking your friend..I have a weight loss buddy here, I wouldn't mind being your weight loss buddy as well. the more the better I say =) since we are on the same track.
 
Hi 4everSome1Else!

Thanks that sounds great! Yay! I'm amazed how exactly the same our stats are! lol!
Oh feeling very motivated now, thanks for being so friendly!

Hopefully speak to you soon, and hope all's going really well for ya

Glad I met yet another friend on here, it's a wonderful place to share your thoughts and feelings on here. There is a diary as well to write all about your day. If you need any help with anything feel free to ask. You can send me a private message anytime you'd like, to share how your day went so far, or how your feeling =)
Thank You, I'm feel good today and I hope you are as well.

:iagree:Hello I would love to get into your club! I too am 5'6ish and 165 right now(but dropping). I can tell you it is the best feeling in the world knowing that you are not alone. I have made wonderful supporting people here. And I know that when I turn on my computer that my new friends are going to be there with their thoughts. So I will always read your posts and respond when I can. So are we a team? Take care and have a great weekend! Tina

Hello xPinkFluffx,
I have just paid attention to what I eat. I don't eat all that bad anyway just allot. I also have been walking around 3 miles a day and sometimes 4. I use ankle weights and to be honest I stopped drinking beer during the week. I only had maybe one or two. But when they are about 200 cals a bottle it makes you think twice. I only enjoy wine and beer on weekends now. Only one day of cheating. I know that sounds a little bad but I do enjoy a relaxing drink. I feel alittle strange by attempting it because there are not allot of people who mention that they may have a drink. So I don't know why I just went off on that subject. I just would never want to offend anyone.

I eat mostly the same foods I always have. I feel what has helped allot is moving my body. I have been trying to get into jogging. What are your goals and your plan for success? I will enjoy talking and sharing with you some ideas. And I will also love to hear your ideas on different things.

Anyway thank you so much for your kind words. And thanks for letting my join in you the fun club! We are all going to rock this!
Tina:grouphug:
 
Wohoo!
we can and will rock this! I'm glad we have a group going on here this is great!!
I really enjoy making lots of friends, and the better too.
You are always welcome to the club Tina, and yes were a team =) go us
 
Hi u 2!

A club! yay! That's brilliant (I'm excited btw! lol) I can't personal-message people yet, but when I can.... expect messages!

So do either of you have any mini goals atm? like "loss ? lbs by ??/??/08?" I don't really have a clear 1... but am thinking bowt it!
Hope you're both feeling good, have a great rest of the weekend, I'll be working (boo!)

Speak 2 ya soon

It's a great idea =)
I'm excited, a little too excited.
I will wait for your message(s) when you can send them.
My short term goal is to be 150-140 pounds by the end of this month.
I'd really like to be 140 maybe in two months for the summer.
I'm already getting to 150 =) it feels wonderful
What are your short term goals so far that you've thought of?
Let us know how your diet has been so far? Have you been adding exercise to your lifestyle? If that's not too rude of me to ask
Today I'm feeling really good =) hopefully your doing great as well
Have a great weekend, I'll be resting tomorrow. But, take it easy and have fun
see you soon bye
 
Hi Everyone:):)

My name's mel:) I'm 5'6 too haha:) well almost 5'7 and I was wondering if I could join ya club? Ya all seem like such nice girls:)

I have a little more weight to lose but im getting there slowly!!! By May 13th I want to be down to 85 kilos!!! I'm so sure I can do it and maybe more if I try extra hard. Still along way from you guys haha:) But it will mean a 20 kilo weight loss so far and only (ONLY hehe) another 25 to go:D
 
Hello Mel
I'm glad you asked, your always welcome to join the club =)
Glad to have met you, I glanced at your before pictures, your beautiful =P
I also have a "skinny" boyfriend hehe
I know you can do this Mel, I believe in you =) don't let anyone tell you otherwise
What better way to lose those extra pounds then with buddies..right?
It's great that we've started a neat group already wohoo =)
Take care Mel
 
Growing stronger everyday!

Welcome to the club Mel! I am so glad you would like to join our weight loss gang.:party: I know with the support of good people that you will have the success you desire. You are a very pretty young lady. So welcome to you!

I do have goals as far as my size I don't care so much of the number on the scale as long as I can wear a pair of great jeans! I also would like for the 1st in 3 years to wear a real bathing suit. I have worn swim shorts in the past. But not this year no way I am going all the way with a Nike bathing suit I already bought! So I have to get to the size to wear it!

How much do we want to post here? Or should we post in our usually place under our names and we just check in here to see if any one has a new post? I would love to come here and get advise and maybe help with your questions if I can. That way we are not posting the something twice.

So what do you wonderful ladies think? Oh yeah I have added each of you to my buddy list!!!! Yeah!!! We are so much stronger as a group. I will help you all the best way I can. And I will need to lean on you allot to I imagine. I am so glad that we can do this from all over the world.

Have a great night.
Tina:grouphug:
 
Hey Tina,
I'm glad your on, I want to be able to wear a swimsuit without having to hide my legs, arms and belly.
I was thinking we could post in our usual place..maybe? but the ladies should have a say as well
I don't mind any way you'd like, it's fine with me.
We could also send private messages to eachother to check up on one another
I just learnt how to add you to my buddy list, we can do this =)
If we need help with anything were all in this together
 
That sounds great to me. But as you said the others should have a say as well. This is sooooooo much fun! I do my biggest posts on Monday and Fridays. But I will always come here and check in with everybody. I had a great day and can't wait to post all of the details tomorrow. Have a great night. Tina:hurray:
 
hey. I'm 20 years old too. I am from Buffalo New York and I weigh 130. I'm trying to get down to 110 since I am only 5'0. Yes very short. Let be motivation buddies on this because I really need it.
I spin and lift 3 times a week, but sometimes I need that extra push to get to the gym.
 
Hi Everyone! And a special hello to Mel and Heathb4!

I'm so glad you've joined, I luv this lil club we've got going here! I really think we're all gonna do really well with each other's help n support.

4everSome1Else and ttnichols, u were talking about where to post, what u said sounds gr8, but where is "the usual place"? Sorry I'm pretty clueless!

My plan for the next few weeks:
Upto 1250 kcal per day,
1 hour aerobic exercise DvD 4-5 days a week
30mins Power walking/jogging 3 days a week

What do you think? I've no idea whether this too little or too much for me, but I shud figure it out soon!

Anyway, hope you're all doing really well, speak to u soon!

Hello gals and Welcome Heathb4 to our wonderful gang!
I'll be sending some private messages to ya'll soon once I get the time, to check up on all of you.
If I don't message you anytime soon. How is everyone? did you get into any sticky situations? been lazy?
I'm feeling lazy today didn't sleep much and I plan to go to sleep right now (after this small letter) but I HOPE I' am not too lazy to go for a jog, It'd be real sad if skipped that. If I don't go for a jog today I'll walk my pooch and go for a bike ride until 8-9
Hopefully everyone is happy, healty and doing really well.
PinkFluffI think that should be pretty good, about 1300 cals would be even better but what you've got going is pretty good
As for the walk/jog I do mine for an hour or two. Maybe 45 mins for you could be good?
I' am no pro at this, just learning as with all of us. but, great job. Also after a few weeks, what about walking/jogging 4-5 times a week?
