Hello and welcome to the Slim! Whether you are just starting your weight loss journey or looking for a new beginning let us just say congratulations on taking the first step, being accountable on BuddySlim.

To help you kick start your program and/or help you along with the site, please don't hesitate to contact myself and I'll get you set up with your very own BuddySlim Coach that can help you with any S.O.S's during your stay here. Sometimes having that person to give you a little extra in the beginning makes ALL the difference in you forming new habits that you can then keep the momentum going all on your own, along with your Coach should you request, as well as all the awesome Slimmers you'll meet on this site in the meantime.

If you want to opt out on having a Coach still take a minute to jot down a little introduction about yourself. It doesn't need to include your weight loss goals and/or previous experiences, it can include anything at all about yourself. We all know we are here for a common purpose and that's just one thing that we all can relate to so don't be shy and jump on in, there are plenty of slimmers here waiting to hear from you!

Okay Traci, so i'm Erin and I'm new! I am very unhealthy right now and have to change my life before I die around age 30. Now I'm 28!! Just joined yesterday and so far I love everything that I see!! Being only 4ft7" I need to weight about 90 lbs, so that's my goal. But if I could just get a jump start and try to go from 160-140, I might actually have a chance!! Thanks for the great welcome. I have posted more about me on my blog if anyone is interested!! I'm also so very excited to help route and support others on this site!! The total amt. of weight lost o far is just amazing!! So everyone keep up the great work!!!

Im new, my name is Sondra and I love my family. I need to lose weight to keep us together.

Hey everyone!! I'm Amanda. I need to lose 20 lbs, but I'd like to lose 28. I FEEL so unhealthy and it's staring to show. I've lost all of my motivation to continue exercising and eating properly, and when I try to get back into my old routine and pick up my old eating habits, I always manage to find an excuse or reason why I should put it off until tomorrow!! I'm looking for people who are in the same boat, so we can give eachother some support!!

HI!

I'm Ashley and I'm new!

I can't say I feel unhealthy because I just kicked the smoking habit four weeks ago and feel excellent, been eating healthy food from the co-op in my town and exercising with a personal trainer. Now, I just need to keep it going long enough to see the good results, right now i'm going through the muscle weight gain that makes me upset at the scale for not computing how good I'm doing

Looking forward to meeting people on here!

Welcome Sondra, Amanda and Ashley!!! Let me know if you'd like to have Coaches to help you out. If so just send me a personal message and we'll get you sorted!: )


Ashley: I completely understand the getting upset with the scale because of that. I myself am with a trainer 2x's going to 3x's a week starting next week and because I weight train too the scale looks like it's not doing anything but the trainer assured me that if I was eating proper and after the 5 weeks I'd see the difference as your body goes through it's changes and retains water etc in the first 4-5 weeks!

Hello everyone!! My name is Melissa ... Im 26 yr old. Married (sometimes happily) with two kids. My son is almost 6 and daughter is almost 2. I'm really unhappy lately, Well for about 3 yrs. now =) I just want to look nice ... Want to lose 60 lbs. and go from there ... Every day is a challenge. Finding time to eat, and eat the RIGHT food is HARD. I'm always on the go ... Taking my son here, there then to school. HARD HARD HARD, not to mention the "normal" running around!! My husband is NO help what so ever ... He thinks it's easy to lose weight, That's because he has NEVER struggled with weight. I wish he would just live in my shoes for a day and tell me it's easy ... BLAH. =) I hope to make a lot of new buddies on here!!

Hello All, My name is Christy I am 33 years old and the mother of four ages 16, 13, 11 and 2 and a half. Married for 16 years to my high school sweetheart. I have battled my weight all my life and I really want this time to be different I need to lose about 50 pounds. Would really like help!

Hi,
My name is Charity and I am joining on my birthday. I'm 34 this year and I don't want to go through another summer trying to cover up my unsightly bulge. I am a single mother of two teenagers and I have a very loving although not always supportive, boyfriend of eight years. I have gone through several major lifestyle changes in the last few years, the largest one being my career. I went from working as a teacher's aide to managing a Cinnabon and then on to become a Massage Therapist. I am always learning about new ways to live a healthier lifestyle, but do not always apply this knowledge to my own life. I know that having the support of others as well as being able to offer support in return will help me to reach my goals.
