I desperately need a buddy!

TrinaBeena · 08-19-2009, 07:56 PM

I need an accountability partner who is around the same weight with almost the same goals in mind! Anyone? I am really hitting the exercise hard (running, weights) and I have been really faithful to my plan lately. I'm not a newbie, I lost 70 pounds on Atkins 6 years ago (and two babies ago) but I just can't seem to get going like I did then. I need someone to motivate me!

you sound like me!!!

i lost 120lbs on low carb about 10 yrs ago, kept it off for 6yrs, then had 2 babies in 3 yrs and BAM there came all the weight!!! i've lost 95lbs so far (

) but still have more to go! right now i'm at 172 and would like to get down to 125, but less would be nicer

i need a good kick in the rump for the working out bit, i've got the eating part down fine, i'd love to be your buddy if you'll have me!

yay! I'm so glad you're here. You've already lost 95- that's AMAZING!!! And so very inspiring. I also had 2 babies in 3 years (I have 4 altogether)...and didn't watch my diet at all during that time. I just never have been able to get back into the groove. What is your plan?

Great success to you, Trina! I'm back to LC and loving it (visit my Journal). I pray you lose weight, get healthy, and enjoy the journey!

Hey - same here I have about 50lbs to go - I just lost the 40 I gained back after Atkins/having kids/etc!

TrinaBeena · 08-28-2009, 06:38 AM

Hello,

I am (or was until yesterday) on atkins. I restart tommorow - new week!

TrinaBeena · 08-31-2009, 04:06 PM

Hey guys, how was your weekend? Mine was good...went out to a great restaurant. I wasn't perfect but I was proud of myself that I only ate small portions of non-induction foods instead of going crazy with it like in the past.

In spite of the restaurant incident, I was down 2 POUNDS this morning!!!! woot. I think my stomach looks so much flatter even in just these couple of weeks I've been really strict. Keeps me going when clothing fits better!

I have been going crazy because I haven't found time to exercise all weekend. I will get back on it tonight!

Hope everyone stuck with it & is drinking lots of water!! I'm trying...Coke Zero is my vice. Please post menus and exercise- it's so inspiring to the rest of us!! I will start that tomorrow.
