Hi Everyone, my name is Michelle and I live in upstate NY. I am looking for a motivational buddy that is around my size and one who would like to loose as much weight as myself. This way I think that we can help each other instead of getting discouraged because our buddy who weighs 150 and wants to loose 20. I know myself I would be jealous when you got down to 130 and I was still at 200! lol

Age: 37
SW: 230
Goal Weight: 150

Today is my first day on Phen and I am really determined to do this weight thing this time! I am going to set mini goals instead of looking at the "big" picture. So if anyone is interested in buddying up, let me know

Michelle

Hi Michelle,
I would love to buddy up with you or whoever. I weigh 275 and would REALLY like to be down to 150 if not smaller. I try not to look at the big picture and focus on smaller goals but I really want this weight to come off and off FAST. This is the heaviest I have ever been. I am 34 and this fall my son will be a senior in high school and my biggest fear is going out on the football field with him on parents night looking like this. I don't want him or me to be embarrassed.
Good luck to you and everyone else. WE CAN DO THIS!!!!

hi everyone! Boy this list is growing! I love it.I think its easior to lose weight if you have support and can feel connected with others. Well I was suppose to start my diet today but me and the hubby decided to have ONE more out to eat supper. So the official day is tomorrow saturday, I promise!I thought of a short term goal now, I have my 15 year high school reunion on july30th. So I have 48 days and Id like to be 190. I hope that is not to high of a goal but Im going to try.Highest weight 270,current 225-i gained had been 208,LTG 145-150. Lets stick together we can do it!

Michelle, JLEIGH, slimandtrim, legnA, soontobe135, and whomever else....

Michelle, you have given me a great idea! I have never really come over here to the buddy board, but am on the main board all of the time. It's fun and infomative and it's been great getting to know everyone, but somehow in the last couple of weeks I have really lost focus and this might be just what I needed! I have even tried a few of the challenges and I am just not good at keeping track of how many calories I am eating, how many steps I take each day, etc. I know that they have been great for a lot of people, but just not me!

Anyway, here is what I propose. Let's use this thread as our own support board. We can post whatever we want - new information, tips and tricks, what you did that day that was good (or bad) - anything you feel like sharing! Let's each post our stats (height, weight and measurements) and start from now! Let's all try and post pics too - let me know if you need help. Also, what pics would you like to post? We only have to post them here, they do not have to be in your signature to go on each post you make. Front and back? Regular clothes? You tell me!

Sounds to me like we can all be a big help for each other. I totally agree with what Michelle said, it would be great to know that I was in this with other people about my same size. That also is great because if one of us just rocks then the rest can get motivated by pics!

So - whatdya think? I certainly don't mean to take over your thread but when I read it all I got so excited I couldn't help myself If any of you are interested in joining me let me know and we will get started towards skinny! If you are not interested just say the word and I will go away!

BTW I am 5'8" and last I weighed I was 208. I am 34, married, no kids and my name is Lisa.

Looking forward to hearing from you all!

Lisa I think this is a great idea.
My name is Melissa I am 5'3 and weight 275.
I am 34, married, 3 kids
I am trying to weigh only once a week so I won't weigh until Thursday. I will try to find some pictures but obviously there aren't many of me. I have been taking this for 3 days and not doing too bad. I didn't get my excercise in today though.
take care.

Lisa~
Sorry Everyone for not getting back sooner! It has been an awesome last few days and we have been at the lake!

I think that is an AWESOME idea. Before I actually got down to yours, I was thinking that it would be awesome to have a support board like the ones on Yahoo or MSN. We could all support eachother. We can even use this thread!! We could post our weight lose for the week and like someone said, if one of us are kicking butt, we can ask what the heck are you doing!! lol I have to say, I started Phen last Wednesday. I weighed myself then and then again today. My scale was down 5lbs. I will start to be psyched when I hit 10, then for me it is real! I play with 5lbs all the time but never in just a few days so Im hoping this really works!! So everyone, do we want to start a little support board here!!

[LCS]

Glad to hear you are all in - it is late so I am going to bed, but will check in tomorrow - let's plan on getting going tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest - weight, height and measurements!

See you all tomorrow!!!
