Secret Cyster Diet Buddies

**Maddy** · 07-19-2008, 08:30 AM

Would you like an e-mail "diet buddy" or "exercise buddy" who is following a similar diet or fitness plan? Or who has the same amount of weight to lose?

If you would:-
drop me a pm with your details to include: how often you would like to e-mail; how much weight you have to lose; what plan you are following

I will try to "match" people up and pm you your "secret cyster" - it is up to you then if you want to exchange e-mail addresses.

I have about 65 pounds to lose, and would love a diet/exercise buddy. I am on weight watchers (again

), and walk every weekday. However, I plan to start jogging/running again, as it seems to be the only thing that helps me lose weight.

Thanks!

HI Maddy

I was just diagnosed this past week. I was told that I have pre-diabetes and that I need to start (and keep) a weightloss program. I am 5 foot tall and weigh 204lbs. I am aiming to lose between 60 and 80lbs. I live in Chandler, Az and would love an email buddy who understands how it feels to try and excercise in 110 degree heat- I get uncomfortable and give up way too easily. THANK YOU

Ladies I have been having some puter probs so have been off line for a number of weeks - apologies!

I started the secret cyster buddy group and have been waiting for cysters who are looking for buddies - I now have a group of you so I'll be pming everyone in the next few days.

I have about 80 pounds to lose. I can email daily.. and have no SET plan YET

Love to have a weight loss buddy to keep me motivated. Can e-mail daily, am on facebook, MSN etc. I have a gym memebership that rarely gets used...also enjoy WATP/Leslie Sansone videos...no eating plan in place (just less food and healthier choices more water etc.) anyone have any good suggestions for eating healthy on a strict budget? need to lose a gazillion pounds...ok 150 overall but i'll start smaller...5% of my weight...so around 15 pounds right now.

If i'm not joining too late I would love to do this! I dont have a specific diet plan.. I am just hoping to eat healthier all together. As far as excercising... I have a membership at the YMCA and usually enjoy using the treadmill, stair climber & ab machine. I can email daily and I live in Ky. Oh and I would like to loose about 40 pounds total but will settle for 25-30.

**AliciaJ83** · 04-09-2009, 04:16 PM

Oh I want one. I'm 4'11 and I would love to lose 100, but right now my goal is 60. I'm planing on starting WW.Can email daily

**MBuyikian** · 04-19-2009, 09:15 PM

I'd love to do this as well! I've got about 75 pounds that I want to lose. I'm a walker-no gym membership but am open to all new ideas!

**dillydaydreams** · 04-24-2009, 08:51 PM

I would love to lose some weight also 28lbs minimum, more if possible. I can eat healthy with motivation but my major problem is I suffer with M.E. and fibromyalgia BUT I am going to try, so good luck to all of us! I will keep in touch and hopefully have some success.

Does anyone know if Maddy is still matching secret cysters? The original post is almost 2 years old.

**ria2283** · 05-16-2009, 03:09 AM

I don't think that she is because I originally posted in 2008 and I have never heard anything back about it. However, I still think this is a good idea so if anyone would like a buddy please feel free to send me a message.

I am looking for a buddy. I'm starting today a ir/low gi diet. I have at least 60 lbs to lose. I can email daily, facebook daily, etc. I don't care if you are in my area or not, if you are looking for someone in your area, I live in Upstate, S Carolina. I'm eager.

I need a buddy too!!!
I am a full time nursing school student, living with my in-laws and trying to attempt to lose weight! My husband and I have a fertility consult with my doctor on 2/3/10. I would love to have a buddy to check in with and to encourage me along the way. I will mainly be using the treadmill at home and trying really hard to eat better. I weigh <gasp> 260 and I'm 5' 6". Over time I want to lost about 100 pounds. I am on 1000mg of Metformin ER and we have begun to TTC. I hope to find a cyster without kids that may be TTCing for their first just like me, so that I can vent to them about not being able to have a baby.

Oh yeah, I am obsessed with Diet Coke from McDonalds, Reality TV, Dexter and taking naps!
