Are you interested in being my weight loss buddy? I am planning on losing 1 stone by christmas and I would really like someone to share with between now and then. It does not matter which plan you follow or how much you have to lose, I'm just looking for someone who is up for posting daily (even if it is only a few lines), so that we can support and encourage each other along the way. Please reply if this sounds like you.

Hi, Nik!
I'm up for daily posting. I don't know how much I will lose in any given window of time....age and previous low carb dieting seem to have slowed this process down for me....but I am in for the long haul, and I need to give and get daily support to get there.
Would you be interested in keeping track of weight, cheat free days, and exercise? I seem to do best when I can claim bragging rights for good behavior. Even moms can need a daily "gold star" to reinforce desired behavior. I'm open to daily accountability for anything else as well.....menu? water? you name it~

Hi Paleogal! I'm certainly up for a gold star or two...who knows maybe even a platinum one. It all sounds good to me, especially the exercise part. I use to workout regularly, but I've been finding it so hard to get back into and I am really unfit. My plan is to do a 20 mins step workout and fifteen mins of abs Mon-Friday. I'd like to get to the gym and do some light weights but I think I'll add that a bit later when my body is over the initial shock I'm not really one to log everything I eat, but I don't mind if it helps. I'll be doing Atkins induction, but will allow some other non induction foods as long as they are low carb and of course do not take me over my 20 carb a day limit. If I hit a stall at any time, I will probably do a couple of days M&E as I have found this helpful in the past. Here’s to the three "S"s...Support, success and skinny jeans!

Hi Desihue! Please do...the more the merrier.

I need a buddy!! Or several. I have way too much time now that I'm unemployed. I'm getting married on March 28 so I have a bit I want to lose still. Can't weigh in because my scale battery is dead, but I'll measure myself. That's more indicative of my progress anyway.

Oh! And I had an interview yesterday, so let's hope I get the job. Sounded promising, but it's just a horrible time of year to be looking for work.

YAY!
I see that both of you are 41 pounds away from goal. So are we all in for a daily commitment for the next 41 pounds?
I have been known to disappear for months at a time whilst feasting on doughnuts and chocolate. I for one would like to be pm'd (receive a kick in the arse) if I am gone longer than 24 hours. The shorter the binge, the easier it is for me to climb back on the wagon. Are you guys open to pm's for being MIA? Will you PM me?
It's 11:25 am here in Colorado. What time is it there in London, Nik? Desihue, what time is it there? Missaec, what time is it in GA? I'm excited to see so many well established low-carbers joining in! I hope others show up, too! I agree that the more the merrier!

It's 1:26pm in GA at the moment.

My goal says 147 (~12lbs away) because that's what I set several years ago. Not sure if I want to change it now that I'm closer... I'm not thinking 12lbs is gonna cut it. Based on the way I look and my measurements I'd say 25-30 more pounds would be ideal. (I'm a size 8/10 but I've got so much extra weight in my thighs, upper arms, and hips and it's just not going away like I'd like it to.)

Misseac,
Let's get you shrunk for your big day!

Ok, so I haven't exercised yet! I'll wait til I do to post so from now on.

Paleogal I'll kick your arse if you kick mine Yes certainly, lets keep an eye on each other. I too have been known to disappear whilst indulging in sin. Its 7 40pm here.
Hi Missaec! Good luck with the job.

Workin on it! I started a few days ago so I'm just counting from then. I'll get a new scale battery one of these days. Oh by the way, I'll be out of town Friday through Sunday. Going to North Carolina to visit some people.

OK good, I can up my cheat free days to two if we are not counting from the start of this thread...oh what a difference a day makes

Hello.. I'm Sarah. I know NikNak from our other threads.. hmm Nik, how many more are we going to create before we settle in one and stay? LOL

I am on day 2 of M&E. I am 174 right now and am trying to get back down to 130 overall.. but 140 by my baby's birthday.

I, personally would LOVE some Pm's to tell me to get my butt in gear and stay accountable! I am so weak.. UGH!

I created that thread on here called "The Weakans" but nobody joined, lol.. ah well.
