I'm between a 12 and a 14 too!!!!!! It's sooooo fustrating because I used to be a size 8.

I actually just bought the products today and will start tomorrow. When did you start? Have you lost any weight yet?

Sure I would love another buddy!  Congrats on your new baby, aren't they the best?  :)

I agree with you about the size thing.  I'm fine not being a size 2 but I would like to be a 6 or an 8.  I am between a 12 and a 14 right now and I HATE IT!

How long ago did you start?

Hey thanks for the reply.  I would love to be your weight loss buddy :)

It does sound like we have quite a bit in common, which is nice because then we have similar goals.

I live in Seattle, Washington with my boyfriend (soon to be fiance...he ordered the ring on Friday!) and our  8 month old daughter.  We also get visits from his older daughter (7, almost 8) who lives in Arizona with her Mom.  We are hoping to get her living with us sometime soon.  We don't have any pets.  I work full time and he did work full time but he got injured on the job when I was about 6 months pregnant (him & his Dad own a landscaping business) and actually had to have surgery.  He is still in revovery and so he is the lucky one that gets to stay home with our daughter.  He gets paid to stay home with her so it actually ended up working out really well.

My weigh ins are on Friday.  I can't WAIT to see how much I have lost.  Even one pound will make me happy.  I just need to see that progress!!

I don't own any weight loss equipment but on the same floor as my office there is a work out room that I am going to start using 3-4 days a week with another girl in my office.  I did start taking long walks every night when I get home from work with the baby and that has made me feel much healthier already.

PS: I have issues with snacking way too much while online or while watching TV or reading as well!!

Hey! I am new too! I just turned 21, have a six month old princess, and have also struggled with my weight my entire life. I need to lose 40+ lbs. I am 5'6, and "big boned" as you say lol.....The truth is, girls like us are never going to be a size 2, but I will be happy to weight as much as I did when I got married. I would love to be your buddy, because I need the encouragement more than ever!

Oh yeah, and I'm 29 years old!  (Duh, I forgot..  motherhood drives you to memory loss, FYI.) :)

HI!  I'm "new" here too!  I've tried Weight Watchers online but they didn't give me any "buddies" that were reliable.

Here's where I am:

I have had weight battles starting in my teens, had my first kiddo in 2003 where I broke 200 lbs for the first time, had my second kiddo in August 2008, and actually didn't gain weight throughout my pregnancy because I was already way over weight.  Right now, I am approx. 210 (weigh in is Sunday), 5'7", big boned (too).. and my goal weight is 150. 

I am a stay at home mom, a wife of an active duty soldier who is not currently deployed, and I do tons of housework and I own a treadmill. LOL.. not saying that I use it like I should, but I own one.   I'm online too much, and I constantly snack while I'm on the computer.

It sounds like we have a lot in common... let me know if you want me as your buddy!!  BTW, what part of the country are you in?  I'm in North Idaho.

PEACE!

Hey everyone.  I am "new" here, although not new to dieting, weight loss, or slim fast!  I am 22 (almost 23) and I have struggled with my weight my entire life.  I got pregnant in December 2007, had our beautiful daughter in September 2008.  At my heaviest weight ever, right before giving birth, I was 236 pounds.  I am currently 213 pounds and just sick and tired of being overweight.  I am pretty tall (5' 7") and big boned, so 160 pounds ia good weight weight for me.  I got to this weight once before (from 210 pounds) with the help of Slim Fast and so I know I can do it again.  I would love a weight loss buddy (or several buddies) so we can help motivate each other and try to stay motivated together.  Congrats to all you new Moms out there and I can't wait to get started!!!
