Team Spirit

Going Beyond Brunch
Studies show that people who embark upon a weight-loss mission together are more likely to achieve their goals. The mutual support and encouragement you offer each other can help you avoid some of the possible pitfalls we all encounter when we’re trying to lose weight. Let’s face it: You know you’re less likely to eat something you probably shouldn’t if you have to tell your friends what you had for lunch. Check out these great group ideas for more weight-loss inspiration.

hi all! I am in desperate need of a weight-loss buddy...my husband and i made a pact to try and lose weight, but in all honesty, i doubt it will work...this is probably the bazillionth time we've made this type of pact, and reality always breaks us...cause the reality is we're both too weak when the other is craving something. we always seem to give into our cravings and i'm packing on the pounds like nobodies business! we've been together since november of 2001 and i used to be a size 9 weighing in at only 135lbs...now i'm a size 18 weighing it at 200lbs!! i need some serious tough love and motivation...please, if you think you could help me, i will do my best to help in return...i check my mail pretty much everyday, so ideally, having an online weight-loss buddy could work for me. i want to fit into my old clothes again and feel the way i used to. if you want to aim me, it's the same as my email, which is rocknrollmessiah@aol.com.
