HI! I'm looking for a buddy too! I feel like we have a lot in common!!! I am a full time college student turning 21 in a few months!! I have been trying to loose weight for a long time but I just started with slim fast. Its really hard loosing weight when its so stressful and life is so irregular! Maybe we can talk and try to keep each other motivated!!

Hi,

I am an older lady, but I can use the encouragement also. I was challenged by my doc to lose 30 pounds by the end of Jan. I just started two weeks ago have have lost 8 pounds so far. I know plateaus are frustrating. Look at what you are doing. Are you eating enough? If you are not getting enough calories your body will go into starvation mode and will hang onto all it gets. Sometimes eating a little more helps. Change things up some. How much are you moving? I know it is rough going to school, you sit a lot between classes and study time. I too am in college, I am getting my masters in counseling. I have to push myself to move.

Okay I am rambeling.... if you want to be buddies let me know. It is okay if I am too old. LOL

I'm 20 years old, almost 21 , and I am a full time college student.  I want to lose about 25 pounds in four months but my overall goal is 42 pounds and that hopefully by the end of May.  I have hit a plateau for a couple of weeks now, I'm not gaining weight and I'm not losing which to say the least is kind of discourging, but I want to find a buddy so I can get motivation and have them keep me on track and not give up since I'm not losing any weight for a couple of weeks.
