Hi everyone - I was going to join you here and mention the great resource of sparkpeople.com but decided to do a quick search at Spark first and found someone had started a team there already. You might want to take a look, its free - they really do have great resources for tracking food, excercise, etc and great people too! - Judie

I went to the website - seems ok. I still think its a good idea for everyone on here to report in at least once a week and let everyone know how they are doing - were on here all the time anyway, right?!?. Also, I was thinking that we should each have a "buddy" that we chat with over emails about once a week, just to keep each other motivated.
If I get positive feedback on the "buddy" idea, I will group everyone up and let you know who your buddy is.
Let me know!

I second the buddy idea! It would really help keep people motivated.

Hi
I lost 38 lbs. at LA Weightloss and kept it off for 5 years. Now that I'm eating again, I've put some of it back on. I'd love to be a buddy with someone. Please count me in. I might be the oldest on here.
58 years old and would like to weigh 145. My DD and I bought a glider and instead of using it for a clothes rack, I think I'll start exercising with it. Thanks for everyones help!!

The buddy idea sounds great! Today was my hardest this week. But, I know I'm having pizza for dinner, so I just had to keep reminding myself that my reward was coming!

ok, I peeked at the scale today!!! 260 lbs right on the nose I am soooo depressed right now... but not quitting...
My goal is to be more active, cut down on the salt...chips, pop.
I'll keep you guys posted... and yes to the buddy systems, anything to help each other.

Don't be depressed! I know its hard, I mean, the reason I'm on this diet is because I cought a glimps of my nude butt in the mirror -I didn't know a hiney could have that many dimples! But it has motovated me to do it! I know I've done it before losing almost 50 lbs, and I know I can do it again. My whole family (mother, father, sisters & brothers) is grosly over weight, and I plan to be the one skinny (or something close to it) one in the family!

I can do it and so can you​

There is no magic pill, but there is magic within ourselves, and with everyone pulling together on this board, I know we can all do it!

i am down to 147.2 this morning. I am so excited to be close to my goal. Honestly, I am happy where I am even. I put on a pair of my old size 7s this morning and they were even a bit loose, but I am still gonna try for 130. I do not know about everyone else, but I have to weigh everyday. I even take my scales on vacation with me. It is most likely not healthy.

OMG, size 7. I was born a size 7!!! Congratulations on you weight loss!! I have to weigh myself everyday too, and also write down everything I eat. When I went to WW years ago, the woman running the meeting would say, "you bite it, you write it". Good luck everyone!!!

Hello all, its me Sarah. Well, I started this thread, and I brought up the idea of a buddy system, so now I have put everyone into their own buddy support system. I tried very hard to put everyone together by weight, diet, and/or what exercise your doing. I hope everyone is happy with the outcome! If you don't feel that you want a buddy, please contact me privately, and I will take you off the list.

So far there are 25 of us, and I think thats great! Also, I was thinking it would be a nice incentive if every Monday everyone on this "Weightloss for Mickey" thread contacts me privatley telling me exactly how much they have lost for the week. I'll total it up, and we can see what we've lost together as a team!

GO US!​
