Hi
I am a 33 year old wife and mother of 5 children who works full time as a RN. I am from Illinois and I want to lose 120lbs. I am 275lbs. I have not been obese my whole life, just since babies (and marriage) and have managed to gain over 100lbs in the last 12 years.

Soooooo, if anyone here is interested....... I'd love a buddy!

Jennifer

Hi there Jennifer!!! Welcome to LCF. I am sure you will find someone similar to you. This is a wonderful site and everyone is so friendly and helpful. Have you started a certain diet regimen or have one in mind that you would like to try? I am a RN as well. Seems to be a lot of nurses on this site. I chat under a few threads. One with choconut, swinglow, and purtlilady. Holler if you can't find one you like or need help. You can ususally find me in one of those threads. Be well and nice to meet you

Hi Jennifer! I'd love to have you join our "starting Atkins again" thread if that is what you are doing. The thread was kind of slow over the weekend, I kind of felt like I was talking to myself.

Take a peek at the thread and join in if you think you'll like us!

Hi Chamie,

My name is Jennifer Too. I am a radiographer. I started out at 242lbs. I have only lost about 16 pounds since mar1. Would be glad to be a buddy. I need lots of support.

Hi Chamie! I am a nursing student graduating in december, mom to 2 (6yo and 2yo) and I am so ready for an accountability buddy. I have gotten 20 lbs off so far, but I need to ramp things up over summer before school starts back up in the fall. I have 80lbs to go to get to the top range for my height. I would love to buddy up!

Hi

Welcome to LCF!

I am a nurse, also, but an LPN.

A small group of us have a group for snail mail... That is, writing letters the old fashioned way, by regular mail. If you are interested please feel free to stop by our thread here on the boards, and exchange addresses with some of us by PM once you have enough posts to do PMs.

Here is a link to our snail mail group's thread:

anyone interested in a snail mail pal?

Hope to see you there!

Sammi

I am new to the boards and need a buddy as well. Im 27, married, no kids, and work in Insurance from home. Ultimately I'd like to lose about 130-150lbs. Right now I am just focusing on losing 50lbs.

skoolmarm: You inspire me! I'd be happy to get any advise you want to give. I'd love to be pen pals with you and any one else.

Have a a great day all!

Hi barbievicki! Are you getting enough water in? If not you could be retaining fluid. Don't let it get you down. If you are following the plan you will do well.

barbievicki · 06-12-2008, 03:21 PM

I think i am getting enough but then i will get an eye twitch or muscle twitch and i know that means im slightly dehydrated.

It so hard to drink when you just dont feel thirsty you know?

I try and stay fairly possitive, i know we are going to have our ups and downs but when you play the game to a T you expect to win once in awhile. I will double up on the water starting right now. Thanks
