Just wondering how many of you are trying to shed some newlywed weight and if you have a friend who is your go-to person for support!
I know that a bunch of you do WW...
I complain to DH all the time when I have slip ups and each junk, and he's all supportive and encouraging. But he's not 'in it' with me - he doesn't have any weight to lose!
So who's your buddy and who wants a buddy (ME )?

Re: Who is your weight loss buddy?
I've several buddies right now...
My mom and two of my friends all joined when I did - so we all go to meetings together. One of my friends - we email all the time... several times a day when we need an 'ear'... and we share recipes etc - and finally started walking together.. (as exercise is my weakest point)
And three of my co-workers all joined, so we help each other during the day.
DH is supportive... but also not 'in' it with me... so he sometimes just doesn't get it - eating my points etc...although he does try to understand - he gets very proud of himself when he buys a WW dessert for us to share..... (but doesn't get it when he eats the whole box and I get one!!)
Yes - I'm lucky with buddies... and I've always got room for more!!

Re: Who is your weight loss buddy?
I've been going running/walking/exercising with my friend but it's not really hard core. I'm not really on a diet either - but I probably should cause of b pics coming up in 4 months

Re: Who is your weight loss buddy?
Yeah, I've definitely got the exercise thing down pretty well! I have running buddies and people who I exercise with.
But no one to tell me 'step awayyyy from the chocolate' i may start FM'ing you girls before i consume something so I can be talked off the ledge!
I do so good 'planning my meals' but then I end up sabotaging when no one's watching - aka - eat my apples and veggies for snacks, and then get a snickers bar with my salad that I buy for lunch lol

FM me if you need someone to tell you no. I'll try but I'm so bad with that. Last night after Zumba I had a nice big helping of peanut butter cup ice cream.

Find some classes to go with a friend. If I didn't change at work and head to my friends house I would never exercise. We just tried zumba yesterday and had a lot of fun.

Re: Who is your weight loss buddy?
for exercising, you need to have a set schedule and never ever break it (unless you're very very sick or something). After a while, you just get used to it.
Also, don't do things you hate .... if you hate gym equipment, find a sport you enjoy or classes at the gym or whatnot. If you hate it, there's no way you'll stick with it.

Re: Who is your weight loss buddy?
I have a few different support systems but no real 'buddy' although I would love one!
I've been doing WW for 3 years now- I'm a lifetime member at goal. I was just recently hired by WW as well! I find I get alot of support from meetings.
I'm not sure if you're on LIF but there's a great group of women on the Diet and Fitness boards. I frequent there alot. I find I get alot of support, help, and I can give support and help in return.
I'm really big into excercises. I'm almost always training for a race (although lately I'm coming back from an injury). I also have been getting into more strength training/body building lately.
FM me if you want!!! Any of you ladies can FM me!

Re: Who is your weight loss buddy?
All of facebook.
I figure if I talk about the fact that I'm out there ... little by little running -- I'm committing to not letting down 'my fans'
As far as diet. DH is no help.
He came home with a bag of white castle today
He's awful.
I go that road alone.

Re: Who is your weight loss buddy?
One of my girlfriends is HUGE into eating healthy and excersing. She gives me some recipes but most importantly she said we should start walking together on Saturdays (week days would be by myself). We're going to take turns as to which neighborhood, no talking, and just walk together. I NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT!!!

I definitely need to check this out - I'm not on LIF often but maybe I should frequent it a little more often, if for nothing else then to vent my weight loss garbage there!
