Do you have a weight loss buddy? Either one that you work out with or just someone online that you keep eachother posted on progress, tips, and such. I know we have mylot but a buddy is a little different where it's the constant connection that appears to be what everyone says works so great.
I have been doing the weight loss bit (seriously) for about a year now and am seeing results Ijust can't help but wonder if I would see more results if I had a weightloss buddy. Any thoughts?

I am just going to be in that bandwagon.^_^ Once my cousin tells me that our gym membership is good to go then we're also good to go on the exercising.
I have gained a lot of weight this year since I graduated. I dont have a physical exercise program and my job doesnt require me to move around that much.
My cousin and a friend would be my buddies in this mission to lose the pounds. Im just not sure how it would go yet.
Goodluck on your exercise routine!

Heya! It's okay, no worries. It is great to hear from you.^_^
As for my weight loss.. I have lost some but gained it back.LOL I was quite motivated for my cousin's wedding and managed to drop down to my desired weight. Unfortunately, I binged and pigged out after.
It's okay though, Ive managed to lose some that Ive gotten to a weight that Im comfortable with.^_^
Hope you're doing fine. Take care always.

I really could use a weight loss or workout buddy. I need someone who lives near me to go for walks or bike rides or rollerblading with me so that I can be motivated. I would really benefit from someone to help me make better food choices and find cool new "diet" recipes. I wish my sister lived closer to me. I think she would be the perfect diet buddy.

Work out buddies, give me someone to compete against, who won't let me give up too soon during a workout, like I do when I am by myself.
I think it is a great idea, and it should be fairly easy to find one at one of your local weight loss clubs, or you could even start your own club, with one or two of your friends and see how that goes.
Definitely helps, when there is friendly competition, or consistent support, would be a better way to phrase it for girls...competition is a guys thoughts.
And we all know, guys don't think like girls and vice versa.
Sincerely and With Appreciation.

Having a weightloss buddy would be nice. I just wish I had one. I did have a friend walking with me every day a few years back but now both of us are married and she lives far away. So, because I have no buddies to workout or go walking with, I find it difficult to workout or go to the gym.

I don't have a weight loss buddy since I figured out how to control my weight ,but I am "the buddy" to many people. When losing weight it is important to have people (especially friends) to support psychologically and encourage you to keep going and not quit. If you can find one then it is a good idea!
