Hi there! Yes, I would like a buddy! I've been at this since January, and am down about 26 pounds. And that is with several "detours;" I'm sure I could've lost more if I'd been more "perfect" the whole time. But I am ok with that, because it means I am truly making it a permanent change. Any other attempt I've made, I would completely derail around 3 months in. So the detours don't bother me, I just resume the journey. I have about 50 more to lose; my loose goal is 25 more pounds by the end of the year, and the last 25 by this time next year. A buddy would make a nice reinforcement for the long haul.
