Hi Laurie,
I also am not one to really ask suggestions from, as I am over 150 pounds overweight. I feel horrible, have high blood pressure, and have to use a CPAP machine at night because I have severe obstructive sleep apnea. I also am very worried about my weight and how it affects my appearance and my health. I am sick of it. I have tried everything. My last venture was NutriSystem. I did lose, but I did not like the fact that they sent substitute meals if they were out of what you wanted. I am a very picky eater. Now, I have a lot of their food that I do not like and will not eat. It is expensive.
Years ago, I lost over 70 pounds while living in Wisconsin. I had a "diet buddy" who lived in Indiana (my mom). We both lost a lot of weight because we supported each other. I then got pregnant and gained all my weight back and then some. My baby is now 26 and I cannot blame it on baby fat any more  .
Would you be willing to be my "diet buddy?" We could give each other hints and encourage each other along the way. It really, really worked for me. It is not a group per say, where you feel as if you are lost in the numbers. It is a one-on-one support. It is strange because I was just going to get on this site, as well as some others that I know of, and ask if anyone would want to be my "diet buddy."
I need to lose this weight, and it sounds as if you do too. Do you want to give this a try? We would just e-mail each other, or if you have Yahoo IM we could communicate that way. What do you say?
