I'd too would love a buddy. I've dropped 14 pounds so far and would love to drop a final 6 (I have a feeling these are going to be the most difficult). When I hit my goal I know I'll need someone to "check-in" with, too offer words of encouragement, and yes to readjust my attitude when I decide it is too hard (gosh now I sound like my students )

I've been following the WW diet since the first of June 2006 and have had a lot of success with it. However, I also know I need to exercise for at least an hour each day to keep the numbers on the scale moving downward.

Darby, I too suffer from hypothyroidism but I must admit I have a wonderful supportive endocrinologist. When I saw him back in May my levels were well within the normal range but my weight was up. He simply told me I knew what I needed to do so there was no need to lecture. He so added that he felt certain when he saw me in 6 months I would prove him right. It is always nice to have someone believe in you regardless of who they are or how well you know them. I always walk away from my check-ups with him feeling good about myself - positive words are great medicine for the heart and soul!

So, if someone would like a weightloss buddy let me know.

Have a restful weekend!
