Not new, but newly back and needing some weight loss buddies!

Hey guys, I am a 30 year old mom of 3 and I am serious about changing my lifestyle. I work out 5 times per week. I am following Atkins, and the weight is coming off. I just need some more buddies. I have a few on here but I guess they aren't online much anymore. Looking to add to my support group. I have 100 pounds left to lose. I need someone to laugh with, cry with, and kick each other's butts when we get off track. Thanks!

I'd love to be your buddy.

I'd like to be your buddy! I think that's what I'm lacking on here. A little support group/buddies to help motivate each other. =]

I would love to have you as a buddy..... and any others that would like to be my buddy are more than welcomed we all need support one pound at a time to to hear from you soon. HAVE A GREAT AND BLESSED DAY

I would like to be your buddy. I'm a 48 year old mother of three and grandmother of 6. I realize that Atkins is a lifestyle but I need buddies who understand that. Have a fantastic day!

I'd like some buddies! Im turning 38 on Sunday, single mom of 5, attempting to do Atkins again. Its not the diet thats failing, its me. I find the diet to be one of the easier for me to stick to, so I dont know why Im off again. I have a million excuses.. sick babies, tired, vascular surgery, 100 degree heat and no AC.. and I cringe as I listen to the voice in my head saying them.. I guess I need some real support. Im planning a dinner out on Sunday for my birthday and thats it.. Im back on this thing til I reach my goal!

Wow, a single Mum of 5- you're certainly brave, I couldn't cope with all of that. I'm here at the end of this if ever you want to have a rant about something! Enjoy your dinner out on Sunday, forget about the diet, weigh yourself 1st thing Monday before your little treasures get up and then start. Good luck.

Hi, I am an almost 50 yr old single mother of 3. They are grown up now and have kids of their own, but I will never forget the struggle. I want to lose 105 lbs but 65 would be great, and I would love to be your buddy!

Sorry guys I didnt get to get on the past few days. Payroll week at work is HORRIBLE for me. I would LOVE to have you as buddies!!! If you havent sent me a request I'm sending you one. I think a support group is so important!! I thinks it's probably even more important for diets like Atkins. The outside world sometimes has such a negative view of what we are doing. I can't tell you how many people tell me...

Oh you're doing Atkins? Isn't that were you just eat meat? That is so bad for you!!!

LOL - Well we know better. I know for a fact that I eat WAY more green veggies now than I used to. A typical meal for me before was Steak, Baked Potato and corn. Now it's Steak and steamed broccoli and cauliflower.

Thanks everyone!!!

Add me! I need a support group as well.

P.S. I'm not on Atkins, but my ultimate goal is to lose 75 - 80 lbs.

I'll add you Brandi!

I'd be happy to be your buddy - I have been here a while too but find my old buddies are dropping off!

I would love some buddies!!! I sent some requests, but if you didnt get one, please send one.

I am new here, I do not have buddies, desperately need some. I am married with 3 kids - not really kids anymore youngest is 11. Hoping you all an be my buddies.

any of you folks can add me - if you want an old (55) lady as a buddy! I'm a week and a halof into my Atkins, and I'm down 11lbs! almost 1 week into the 35+ lbs to lose challenge

I would love to be ALL your buddies! Add Me! I'm new here(well a few days) and I think this is a great way to really encourage each other. I start at 241 and currently 8lbs down(in 10 days!!) I'm so excited about this new journey I have started! Hope to hear from you all SOON!

hey Amanda - welcome back!!! I sent everyone a buddy request (I think)...sure hope I didn't miss someone...but if I did, pls feel free to send me one and I will accept right away. (don't know how...just click on the person's picture, which will take you to their 'profile page'. Under their picture there, click on 'add as a buddy', and then the other person will get notified. Look at the top Left where it says 'MYFATSECRET', and click that tab. Then scroll down a little and look on the right column going down the page and you will see notifications if someone has requested you as a buddy...you can click accept.)

Easy once you've done it!

Just HOLLAR if you need some help or encouragement...lots of good folks on this site to help out!

Much Love.

I would love to be a buddy in the weight loss journey but have no idea how to do it..

4kimmi, did you read the post just above yours? it tells you how... will send you a request! LOL! Good luck.

I invited everyone in this thread. I need lots of encouragement too. Good luck all.
