Help! I Need a Weight Loss/workout Buddy!
My names C.. Im 30 yrs old from Summerfields (N. Ft W/Keller area) and a single mom of 2 wonderful boys ages 4 1/2 and 8 1/2. Ive been having a really hard time with sugar/bad food cravings that wont go away! I'll have the best intentions, go get a kitchen full of healthy groceries and then end up going through a drive thru on the way home and sometimes also during lunch :( I have gone to a weight watchers meeting around here but it seems that even there they have clicks and no one will stop and introduce themselves. Is there anyone in or around my area who may want to help or even help eachother? I also have a gym membership at 24 hour fitness which i never use. It would be nice to have a work out buddy so if there is anyone who can go around 9am that would be awesome! Thanks in advance!
***I have no idea how to reply to my replies to this post so Ive been sending the ones who have a private message. I guess thats the only way to do it?***

What WW meeting do you go to? I have recently joined the one in Keller and wish I knew people there. I have the same cravings and I really want to eat healthy.

Hi C. - I think having a buddy to compete with helps. I just did this with my sister 1) because I wanted to lose weight, but more importantly because she needed to. We both lost over 20 pounds, but it did not happen overnight. I would be more than happy to meet you one day to go over a workout schedule that a personal trainer put together for me. I do 3 different forms of exercise per week (water, land and Tai Chi). I truly believe the mix helps because it does not get boring. I also cut out cheese (my favorite food) and it helped a lot. If you want more guidance, feel free to email me at ____@____.com. I have a membership at keller Pointe.

Hello! Fairly new to the area (Bedford) and have been going through the same kind of thing. Haven't joined a fitness center yet because I'm a sahm and hesitant to spend the money my husband makes on something that I am not honestly sure I'll stick with. I take my son to the park (or if it's too cold, Northeast Mall) for walks, and would love a walking partner if you're nearby.

Hi C.,
I live in the same area (n.ftw/keller) and have been looking for a buddy also. I have been trying to loose the extra weight from having my son before we try for #3 and seem to loose my motivation easily because it's just not really "fun" to workout by yourself. I'm free wednesday and friday mornings of you are interested.
