Diet Buddies Wanted

    Hi Everyone,

    I'm 27, 5ft 7" and I'm size 14.

    I want to lose weight for Christmas, yip, I know I've left it a little late but I love a challenge!! (haha)

    I'm really lazy, I won't lie, but I need to sort out this mess that is my belly! But I can't do it alone and all my mates are skinny little farts, so that's where you come in!

    Now I've come up with a super plan, but I need your help....this is my suggestion:

    1) Find a Diet Buddy - that'd be you!
    2) Have a weigh in
    3) Set some serious goals (not like 2 stone before Christmas kinda thing)
    4) Meet up to support each other, swap diet tips, have a weigh in
    5) Maybe have a wager on it, so say €5 a week, then whoever wins - loses the most by Christmas, wins the pot!

    Obviously these are only suggestions and can be altered at any stage!

    If anyone would be interested in this, please let me know, cos I really need the help and support to do this:)

    Cheers!

    This sounds alot like a Weight Wachers meeting, which I love! If you don't get many offers here you should consider joining.

    Full of support and motivation. You can meet lots of new people in the classes and you can get advice and tips every week from the weight watchers leader. I find it fantastic and then inbetween meetings you could use the WW thread here and maybe set up a food diary in the food diary section. :)

    If your still interested let me know:)

    I'm in Cork, I haven't heard back from Shaws yet so if she's not interested then maybe we could start. I'm in county Cork. Or else we could just post the money to the winner of the wager. Would you be interested in starting soon?
    I'm ready asap and well overdue.
