Looking for a weight loss buddy

[Vikki44]

I am looking for a buddy to hold each other accountable on the journey of weight loss. I'm a diabetic in need of not only loosing weight but getting the fat off my stomach. I did really well on my own up until now. Diagnosed in 2005 with type-2 and was put on meds. Didn't like that too well went on a strict high fiber low fat diet. I was taken off meds as soon as I dropped weight and the a1c number to normal range. Did great until I hit my mid fourties. I figured that it would be a little more fun with a buddy and have support than doing it alone. Hope someone is interested. God bless

We're all weight loss buddies here; you can come here to report progress, ask questions and just chit chat, whenever you want to... I've been here for 8 years and don't see myself going anywhere any time soon...  :-)

It's always nice to have people to talk to...I lost 26 lbs last year by cutting out bread, pasta, etc and adding in more healthy fats like avocado, olive and coconut oils, butter, whole milk, etc.  Different things work for different people.  My A1c had been in the pre-diabetic range, but I lowered it to normal.  I've kind of fallen off the wagon and gained back some weight, plus my cholesterol went up; they didn't do an A1c last time, so I'm not sure what that was.

Hi everyone, I really really need a change! I think I've gotten to a point where I rather be in pain doing it then not doing anything at all...I say this because I also go through anxiety and panic attacks and exercise is so hard for me to do. I am already obese and have high blood pressure and I don't want to keep getting bigger or getting sicker...I think I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired...ok so I'm sorry if I kinda went on a rant lol, but seriously I need help and I need a community of women where I could share my stories and have that extra push that I need...and also help others who need it...

Good for you taking charge! Depending on what type of phone you have and your comfort level with technology, there are many fitness and health apps where you can find buddies and  communities for motivation. Just a thought!
