I'd be interested in pairing up with someone who wants to lose quite a bit of weight, like 80 - 100 pounds.
I was on Weight Watchers a year ago and did SO well... Then I "fell off the wagon" and this year has been so chaotic, with moving my mom out closer to me and trying to get her place ready to sell... No time for myself to focus on eating right and weight loss.
Is there a buddy out there for me? Karin |

Since we are giving our weight loss goals, I must share mine! I need to lose about 60-70lbs. And I want to do it before I turn 50. In June. Just kidding!! I'll shoot for 51. :)

count me in ladies! I need to lose around 70lbs. I like the idea of a group effort. That way we are all inspiring each other.
For me the hardest part is combining healthy and easy - I hit the road every morning at 6 am and dont get home from work till 6:30pm MON - FRIDAY. I've tried low carb ( Not a big meat fan), raw diet ( too much thinking- my brain is fried by mid week so I can't think of anything)- liquid ( yea right). When I get up in the morning I can't even think of what to fix for lunch and the next thing you know is fast food is in my hands.
I think I am going to get some of MJ's organic and see if that will work for me. I need healthy, easy and portioned so Mary Jane's may be the way to go

I like the idea of this support group. I know that you probably don't think 30 lbs is much (and frankly, I don't know that I can even get that much off--I've tried very hard in the last year and it seems like 139 is where my body wants to be--but I'd like to give it a shot, but I hope that I can have a partner. I used to attend weight watchers with my friend who had about 120 lbs. to lose and even though she lost weight faster than I did (rats!) it was very helpful to have someone to attend the meetings with and to help me understand all their pesky pamphlets :)

I started this morning off with steel cut oats, skim milk and a little honey. Since I am working from home today I thought why not start today. Instead of DIETING I am going for a healthy, livable change.
1. Lots of fruits, veggies, whole grains
2. Water - Goal today is 8 glasses. This should help fill me up and cleanse out the toxins
3. NO WHITE ANYTHING - Flour, sugar, pasta - Just whole grains
4. Fish or poultry 2-3 x a week will be allowed mainly whole grains and veggies
5. Organic and local if possible
6. At the end of the week I will order some MJ food stuff for quick fix.
7. One glass of wine a day just because it is good for you  .
This came about because on the Today show they were saying Americans now rank 42nd in life expectancy for the world and the life expectancy for American women is DROPPING. No one bothered to study why because they did not expect to find out this. Personally I believe it is a combination of an unhealthy diet, pollutants in our bodies and the stressful lives we lead. What I am doing is taking some of the healthiest diets in the world and incorporating them into MY LIFECHANGE DIET and Mind MAKEOVER - How do you like that one. Healthy,organic, local ( to help preserve vitamins)food. No fast fix anything ( except MJ's organic) and stress relieving walks during my lunch time. Time to get healthy!

Hey Girls,
I'm not sure how I missed it but I just saw this thread. If you have any stragglers coming in that want to pair up, I'm game.
I'm 48, menopausal and a holistic gal to boot. I'd love to pair up wqith someone who has some similar issues as me.
I'm hoping to lose 25-30 lbs.

Hey Alee, I am sorry, I have been a little slow finding this thread.... OK.. so I have been increasing the water.. and for the last 2 days I have been eating "raw".. kinda kick starting myself and breaking old habits....I am not sure if you are familiar with Jordan Rubin - he teaches a meditteranean type diet plan... using grass fed orgainc meats and raw milk ( cheeses), but a lot of raw fruits and veggies.... I feel best when I am following this plan and it is easy for me to cook for my family.. So.. I have also dragged the bike out and parked the mini van... and my dog (Kianni) reminds me to walk him daily... so far that is the plan...... how are you doing?... Oh I almost forgot , I got out the body ball... I am getting old so staying limber is well.. challenging but important....

well chilluns .. while i'm not doin' the 'buddy' thingie .. i'm checkin' in to see how everyone is doing! i guess with this new 'insulin pump' .. i'll be behavin' a little better in my food choices! xo
by the way .. at class yesterday, our nutritionist said that the ATKINS diet is very dangerous for diabetics (i don't think she is really a fan of it at all). if you've been succesful on it .. GREAT .. but if you are fanatical about it .. keep a watch on your kidneys with all that protein! xo
