I live in SW Michigan and I need to get started doing something about my weight.  I am 5' 2" and I weigh about 190.  I have two small children I am trying to keep up with and the weight sometimes keeps me from having the energy I need to do that.  I need a buddy to help get me going, I am not much good on my own.

Hey.  I live in Portage. Not too far.  I also was an art major in college, but am a Hairstylist right now, hoping to go back to school.  I would love an e-mail buddy.  Are you using Dr. Phil's plan?  I lost 60 lbs on it 3 years ago, and kept it off for 2 years, but this past year has been rough, and having a real hard time getting back into the swing.  I think I feel more comfort with the weight on.  A lot of reasons I keep the weight on I guess.

I am a mother of 2.  I have a 20 yrs old son and an 11 year old daughter.  This weather is hard on me too.  I like to get out to walk, but in the winter, I just hibernate.

Well,hope to get to know you.

I need help to get started

I too struggle with my weight.  I have tried losing weight in the past but to no great success.  I have endured hardships in my family which contributed to my depression and unwillingness to try to lose the extra pounds.  I live in Allegan county and would like to find a buddy to email and chat with and share the ups and downs with trying to loose 200 pounds.

I need help!

I live in Kalamazoo County, real close to most of you.  I need to lose 50 lbs but would love to lose 70.  I need more support with the exercise end of this whole thing.  I have never participated in something like this so I am very hopeful this will help.  Has anyone read Dr. Phil's Weight Loss book?  Is it something I should read?  I would love to be a weight loss buddy to all and any who need help.

**Michigan: SW Michigan and I need help

I live in the Jackson area. I just started a diet yesterday after watching the Dr.Phil show. I have an eight month old,go to college, and work on the weekends...so I can use the support. It's hard not to snack, being at home during the day with a baby. So I would love to have anyone help me through this, and I would be more than happy to return the favor!

I live in Kalamzoo and I would love to be your buddy! I need to lose 100 lbs and I am looking for a buddy to encourage me with the exercise too. I am in the process of reading Dr. Phils book and I highly recommend that you read it. We will only be succesful if we follow his plan and advice.

From the city of Fair Haven

Just like many of you I just cant do it all alone. I just moved so dont have anyone to walk with or work out with. I am very upset with the fact I cant wear 90% of my clothes because I have grown out of them. I need to lose 30 lbs and being over 50 it is just stuck on my waist.

Maybe if I can talk to others about it and to go through our goals together we can keep an eye on each other.

I look for forward to helping you with your goals and you helping me with mine.

Lois
