Looking for a Pal

SkyeBlue · 01-22-2007, 11:38 AM

HI Everyone:

I just joined today. I think this is so nice to have a section where you can find a friend who is also trying to lose weight and where you can be of support to one another.

I posting her becasue I hope to also be able to find a pen pal, or two! Today, was my first step on a more healthier path. I have been ignoring my helath for years and now it has caught up with me. I am over 80 pounds overweight and have blood pressure almost off the scale! I went to my 1st Dr. appt. in 3 years today and now I am really serious about this. If you knew my BP you mihgt understand this is a life decision for me,

I am looking for someone to write to who would be in it til we reach our goals. To be there to support one another, share our food journals with, things like that. To get ahold off when we are having tempted to give in, things like that.

I would be happy to be your penpal. I have a heck of a lot to lose too. I'm in this for the long haul.

I love this site. I signed up in November. I joined the century challenge for 2007. That's another thread. The support is fantastic. Questions answered, ideas presented, etc. Gosh, if I lot 100 lbs this year, no one will recognize me.

I only have 65 to go. I started this diet because I'm in a study at a local university hospital and because my health was deteriorating and if family history dictates, I was headed for trouble. It's really hard to get started, but once you get going, it gets easier. I was dieting during the holidays. OMGosh! I almost cried a couple of times because I wanted to eat like regular people. Let me know a little about you.

That sounds like a great idea. However, you have to have at least 25 posts on here before you are allowed to PM. I don't know the rule about receiving PM's so I will give it a try.

Skye I can't PM you til you post 25 times and have been on here for at least 25 days. Those are the rules. So, let me know a little about you. Generalities of course.

Go around the site and look at other posts. These people are great. Everyone is so supportive. I started out by posting I was new and I got a gazillion welcomes from current members. It was so cool.
