I am 32 yrs old and also live in chandler. I am female, married w/ 2 kids.  I think a buddie is a great idea because what I do know is... this is not going to be easy and having someone to go thru it with you to lift you up, encourge you/eachother & hold eachother accountable I think makes for success! What about you?

Hello everyone. It's great to see new posts everyday! I have had a very emotional week & not much success with making good food choices. I am starting over tomorrow & will keep starting over until I get it. There is so much more to life than food!!! Now I just need to believe that and also believe in myself that it is possible to loose the weight & keep it off. Not because of a bunch of rules or do's and don'ts but because i am living from the inside out. Lord knows I can't do this alone & that it's not gonna be easy.

I am also looking for an accountability partner to help me through this journey. Any one out there in Chandler, AZ?

Any other gals in Chandler? I am looking for a buddie for support but also to walk or exercise with. I need to loose about 70lbs.  My email address is azbumnit@cox.net

Thank you so much for your words of encouragement! I am hopeful with the support of the message board & a lot of others struggling with the same thing...food that I can be successfully. I have decided that when the excuses bog my mind that I'm just gonna do it anyway because it's the right thing to do whether I WANT to or not!  Thanks again for the support :)

Good morning! I made my goal for today of what I wanted to accomplish in my day. My goal for this weight loss challenge it to drink only water today & wait to be truly hungry. I tend to get anxious and eat too soon. When that hunger comes I am going to eat a child's size portion instead. I got on the treadmill for 35Min's this morning. I didn't want to but I did it anyway! It can't be about what I WANT anymore...that's what got me here.

WE CAN DO THIS! Have a great day all!

Well I couldn't do. I set my goals but when it came right down to making the right decisions... I crumbled! I feel defeated before I even start & that makes me feel like why even try or bother!!!

The hardest time of the day for me is 3pm till bedtime. I can't always be at the computer to read the message boards like tonight. I was at my son's baseball game. I really need an accountability partner. Someone I can call & talk to & vice versa when I feel discouraged or down or just struggling with making the right decision. Is anyone willing to be the go to gal, to build a friendship outside of the message board? I would love to do the same for you so that we can get through this together. I need help! My negative thinking is my downfall & what keeps me from getting anywhere!

Thanks

Hi, my name is Danielle & I live in chandler too. I am looking for someone to hold me accountable, someone that I can call when needed(within reasonable hours of coarse) & excises with when possible. Excises is no fun by yourself. I am 32yrs old, I need to lose 70lbs & am 5'1 as well.  I wouldn't be able to join La Fitness right now, but am up to getting together & meeting other places to walk or whatever. Let me know what you think.

First off... Thank you Nancy for the kick in the pants; as my husband would say! I need that sometimes. My constant negativity gets in the way constantly. I just have to press on towards the goal.

I woke up at 11:30am this morning. I really didn't want to get out of bed because if I'm in bed at least I'm not eating! WRONG APPROACH! I know. Now it's 1:23pm & I haven't even been downstairs. I haven't exercised or done chores or even gotten dressed.  Enough is enough, this has got to change! My goal for today is to eat a baby sized portion at lunch & dinner, to drink water & to make healthy food choices.

I just want to say to all of you out there making the right choices, making the changes necessary to improve your life & sticking with it... GREAT JOB! Keep up the good work & don't give up. It can & will only get better from here.

Have a great day everyone.

Thanks so much for stepping up. I will be sending you an email some time today.  Great job choosing to walk even though you didn't want to. That's what is is going to take to change our lives. Its so much easier to just go on doing what is comfortable and easy, but the true reward comes when we take a leap of faith and do what is right regardless how we feel about it! 

Talk to ya soon
