Male 24.. just started, looking for similar age

anthmurphy · 05-12-2008, 12:14 PM

I was searching around on the net for low carb sites and came across this page. I quite like the Idea of having a "Buddy" to keep me focused because ive done this diet many times before but always fall off the wagon before reaching my goal....

I'm mostly interested in someone around my age to kep things relative but guess i probably cant be picky lol...

Im also keen on weight training..

Any takers....?

Hi there Anth

Welcome to LCF

I am sure u will find a lot of very nice people around your age to converse with and to buddy up with. It really does help to have someone that you feel u have to be accountable to. I wish u the best of luck and give me a holler if you don't find someone. We always have room for one more in our thread. You wont be able to private message until you have either so many posts or so many days. I can't remember exactly which it is. Again welcome and

and good success!

hey there....i am so glad that i saw your post. I have (just today) decided to re-start my lc diet.....after around 7 months off the wagon. i have gained around 20 lbs and was looking for someone around my age to start this up with. I'm 25 so weez pretty close there.

If you would like we can work on this together. Hope you post again soon.

anthmurphy · 05-16-2008, 12:26 PM

Yeah Meddies that sounds good to me, I dont seem to be able to send msgs on here yet!!

You want my email address?

Look forward to hearing from you

Meddies · 05-16-2008, 02:06 PM

yeah an email would work. I wasn't sure what kinda "buddy" you were looking for......whether you just wanted a posting buddy or what. If you'd like we can use this thread that you already created to keep each other on track and email when needed....who knows, we may find some other people our age. its really up to you.

Hope today went well for you......I've stayed on track so far.....now if i can only keep my filthy hands out of the vodka, its 5 and the liquor cabinet's already calling my name

so are you on induction or what?

anthmurphy · 05-17-2008, 09:11 AM

Yeah, we can just keep in contact throught this site, I'm just really after support etc...

I'm pleased to say i havent had a drink since last Saturday. I used to be a big friday night drinker but I'm gonna cut right down on how much i drink which isnt easy.. I'm at a BBQ party next weekend so im gonna let myself get wasted and hopefully ruin the party... (joke).

I started my low car diet on May the 1st and i'm already a stone down. I've also started weight training so I've probably lost a lot more fat but gained weight through training..

Im going out with frinds tonight but im taking the car so im not tempted to have a drink...

Meddies · 05-18-2008, 04:02 PM

good to hear ya haven't had a drink....i wish i could say the same for myself hahaha....yeah, went to a wedding last night and not only did i have a few...i brought my own (does that mean i have a problem?

sad to saw though i had a piece of that damn wedding cake.....screwed my induction all up so I'm giving myself a restart tomorrow...... spent most of today recovering. sweets are seriously my downfall and after about 5 vodkas the self -control was hard to maintain.

need plan my ole menu for tomorrow...let me know what you're eating. and you're off induction if you started may 1st eh?

good to hear from you

Meddies · 05-20-2008, 11:22 AM

where are ya buddy

?

SteveKITH · 05-20-2008, 04:40 PM

Hi There.

I'm 26 hope that is close enough to join in.

Personally, alcohol is not an issue but avoiding the carbs is. I have been trying to behave myself and for the most part have. It is hard building up the low carb momentum but I am getting there.

I have also been bad about making my way to the gym though I do have the best intentions

Meddies · 05-21-2008, 11:08 AM

Glad you're joining steve.....26 is close enough for rock and roll so its close enough for me

i have a problem with the gym motivation as well....supposed to be starting an aerobics class with a friend of mine this week so hopefully she can help with this serious lack of motivation. so how long have you been low-carbing ? you doing atkins? if ya are what phase?

by the way if anyone cooks i made some scrumtralescent (SNL momentl) lc enchiladas last night if you guys ever want some recipes.....me personally, i love to cook.

Hope to hear from you guys soon
