Looking for a friend for the long haul

Looking for a buddy for mutual friendship and support. I am a financial analyst working part time most of the year, happily married with a grown daughter.  I will be 57 in Feb. and need to lose over 120 lbs.

I plan to do this once and for all. I lost about 40 pounds on a similar type plan in 2005 and thought I would go all the way to my goal---then life happened (dad died, daughter moved to another state, injured knee, and menopause), and I slowly gained it all back and a little more. I know this type of diet works for me, and I finally have the resolve to stop killing myself and do it.
 
I have spent the last month getting myself mentally and emotionally ready to make the commitment. I realized that if I didn't deal with the reasons why I am fat, I would never be successful.  I have made a lot of progress and am now ready to truly begin living a healthy lifestyle because I deserve it! And so do you!

Looking forward to finding someone on a similar journey!

Hello.  I too am here for the long haul and looking for a buddy to communicate with "through the thick and on to the thin"!  I will be 61 in February and need to lose at least 60 pounds.  I have no time line to trip me up.  I have decided that this must be a lifestyle change for the rest of my years.  I have taken the time to prepare mentally, as you said, and I am ready to go.  I would truly like a buddy who is interested in communicating daily with support, cheers and "bottom kicking" as necessary. 

I am not looking for someone to commiserate with, per se.  I need help and that is why I am here.  I have some good ideas and good recipes to share.  I have some great motivating "slogans" and I am looking for a cheerleader and partner.

If I interest you ~ let me know!

Hi Rainbowsend!

Sounds like we are on the same path.  I will send you a buddy invite.
