Testimonials

I''ve started on this site a few days ago, but my buddy and I have been weight tracking buddies long before. We have gone through pain, eating disorders, loss...and became closer friends from our weight loss buddy-ship-ness. We have learned a great deal about our health and this site is bringing us closer together, and our weight loss efforts are stronger than ever.

Hi...I am Sarah.I am fairly new to weight loss buddy.I have already lost 11lbs. as of this morning and am excited to see the rest (37 more) come off over the next few months.The team I joined has helped me so much as I try to keep to my plan each day. Being able to log what I eat and have the website count calories for me has been wonderful. I was never good at remembering to write it all down and then go look up the nutritional values, add it all up, etc. Now it is easy to track and the people I have met are so understanding and supportive. I look forward to logging in every day.

I like weight Weight Loss buddy because you can give whatever info you want on your profile. You can also check a lot of profiles and it gives a lot of info on people from their profiles. I like that a lot. You can leave messages and find out if people can get together via phone, email, comp or in in person as far as doing the Buddy thing. I like that a lot. The Weight Loss Buddy information profile package is a great deal. I love it.

Thank you

I love the 3D chat. It is just like being there and so much easier to communicate with team members! Plus I like that, as team administrator, I can change things about the team. On other sites, once your team is established you are stuck and can''t change anything. Thanks for the variety of tools available to us!

Please let me begin by saying "Thank you!"...your website has helped me realize that I''m not the only person out there with issues! I''m not the only woman in the world who has problems with diet and exercise, motivation and self-esteem!! I KNOW this, because everyday, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, I can log in to www.weightlossbuddy.com, and find someone going through the same thing I am. Or, perhaps they''ve "been there and done that", and can offer me insight that maybe I haven''t found on my own. Of course, one cannot properly sing the praises of your site, without mentioning the "Find a buddy/team" feature. Not only can I reach out to others...but others, who have similar interests and goals, can reach out to me.

There is no other website like this one...you guys are the best!!! I tell everyone I know about you...keep up the GREAT work!!!

I stummbled onto WLB while surfing the net and I thank God that I did. Team Goalmakers has been a true lifesaver for me and I feel so blessed with all the friends I have made here. My Buddy Sherrie in particular has helped me through many a hard time and many a tough food craving. She is a real source of encouragement to me and she always challenges me to do my best. I am succeding because I want her to be proud of me! I hope with the help of my friends on team goalmakers and WLB to continue my weight loss journey!

My name is Sassy, or Sassy Lilac on screen, and I am from the Red River Valley area of eastern North Dakota. I am very honored and excited to have been chosen as July''s Weight Loss Buddy of the Month!

When I joined WLB on Dec. 1, 2005, I had lost 23 lbs since June 7, 2005 when my journey toward healthy living began. Since then, I''ve lost an additional 25 pounds as a WLB member! I am very "anti-deprivation" when it comes to weight loss and living a happy and healthy life. Through the many valuable resources at WLB, I have been able to put together an ongoing, dynamic program that not only works for me, but that also allows me to enjoy my days living a content and balanced lifestyle.

The most invaluable part of my journey has been the people who have been so supportive and so helpful in unending ways. Last October, I joined the Collette Fitness Center, which is 10 minutes from my home. The staff there is incredible! The support, guidance, caring, knowledge and friendship have made getting fit not only fun and enjoyable, but also something that has become a pleasant, relaxing and desirable part of my life.

And, of course, there are my buddies at WLB. Their encouragement, motivation, kindness, inspiration, understanding, insight, prayers and friendship wrap each and every day in hope, strength and perseverance. I especially want to say "THANK YOU!" and "GOD BLESS YOU!" to each and every one of you for all you have done for me. Alana, Kat, Jennifer, Sherrie and Tee -- you gals are the best of the best!

I also want to say, "Thank you, and I love you so much!" to my mother, who not only is my much loved mother, but also my friend and a dear "buddy" as this lifelong journey of choices and changes continues.

Your Good Buddy,

~Chris

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thank you so much for the congrats on being July''s Buddy of the Month! I am still a bit in shock over it! LOL When I got the PM from Nancy that said ''Buddy of the Month'' in the subject line I was so excited to open it up and see who on the team has been chosen - and then it was me! LOL...

Thank you again for all you have done to help me out through all of this! I have truly appreciated it!

GBU...Hugs,

~Sassy

My name is Rose, and I am a proud member of WLB. I belong to a great team called Mirror Image. I joined the team on Oct. 7, 2005 in the hopes of getting some much needed support after finding out that I have type 2 diabetes. I knew I had to do something, and with my leader behind me and a great team, I have gone from 203 1/2 pounds to 181 pounds. After losing those 22 1/2 pounds, I feel so much better.

I never had weight problems as a child. It wasn''t until I had three hildren of my own that I started putting on pounds. Even though my hildren are all grown, it has taken me all this time to take off the eight.

I was with Weight Watchers for one year. I lost the weight but gained t all back. The WLB leader and team have taught me to make better ecisions. I now know what to eat, to drink more water and to exercise daily. Thanks to them and my determination and motivation, I am lowly reaching my goal weight of 150 pounds.

Thanks for having such a great site.

I''m Glenda, but my screen name, IttyBitty, says just about all you need to know about me and my dreams. My weight-loss efforts have been a lifelong struggle, but the support I get from Weight Loss Buddy has been a life-saver. My Weight Loss Buddy, Betty, and my team, Mirror Image, and team leader, Leslie, cheer me on. Although I had lost quite a lot of weight, I put some of it back on because of steroid dosages in my back. But I didn''t give up. The steroids are out of my system, so I am trying hard to get this weight off.

It''s not just about losing pounds; it''s also very important for my health. I have a very bad heart and several other health problems. So I have to get this weight off. I lost 11 1/4 pounds in January, thanks to hard work and support from Weight Loss Buddy.

Instead of eating at night like I used to do for emotional support, I go online and chat or use the tools on the site. Sometimes, it''s nice just to know that there are people out there who will listen to me. I know I have a long way to go, but I know I can do it with a little help from my friends at Weight Loss Buddy.

Someday, I''ll live up to my screen name and everyone will be calling me IttyBitty!

I''m Tee. My real name is Latreanda, and I have been with WeightLossBuddy.com for quite a while. It has helped me so much.

At my highest weight, I was 402 pounds. I began my weight-loss journey 2 1/2 years ago. I am down 134 pounds, to 268. My goal is to get down to 160.

As a child, I was teased a lot about my weight, especially because I am only 5-foot-3. Losing weight was hard because I was so big that I was not able to do a lot of exercise. I started out with tapes at home because I was too embarrassed to go to the gym. At first it was quite a challenge getting used to the changes in the foods I was eating. I was used to eating a lot of fried foods and desserts. Being raised in a big family -- there were seven of us -- it was quite easy to go overboard. I was always raised to clean my plate. I never did many outside things as a child so the challenge of becoming active was a long and hard one. But I accomplished it and now am a much more active person.

To me, the No. 1 rule in life is loving yourself. If you can''t love yourself, you can''t expect anyone else to love you. And with the help of God, my family and my WeightLossBuddy.com team Goal Makers, I will reach my goal.

My name is Leslie, but you, my buddies, know me as Peslie0857, which is the nickname my dad gave me.

Some of you also know how much weight I have lost since I joined WeightLossBuddy.com. I was 249 when I found WeightLossBuddy.com. I''m now 174 and am working my way down to 140. That means that I went from a size 22w to about a 12 or 14. My goal is to get down to size 10. Here is a little trick that has helped me: I choose a size and buy clothing in that size as an incentive to get myself to lose even more weight.

And I''ve lost all of this weight in only one year. I''m as amazed as you are because I''ve been overweight since I was 13. I tried many diets and programs, but nothing worked until I found WeightLossBuddy.com.

Here is how I did it. I started coming to WeightLossBuddy.com in 2003 but wasn’t active until 2005. It was WeightLossBuddy.com that helped me get to my current weight.

In January, 2005, the only New Year''s resolution I made was to lose weight, and I started by changing one thing at a time.

In February, 2005 I started going into the WeightLossBuddy.com chat rooms, and I joined a team called 50/50. The leader didn''t follow through, but there were three of us who finished the Challenge before we disbanded.

I then took over the team Mirror Image. My team is great. To create a winning team, you have to have members who do postings and who go to team chats and participate in team Challenges. As a WeightLossBuddy.com buddy or team member, you have the support, accountability, great advice and friendship of your fellow buddies.

I love the expert-hosted chats, and I go to them every week. They are an asset to the site and have helped me stay on track with my goals.

Losing weight this past year hasn’t always been easy. I have a lot of responsibilities that keep me from staying on my diet. I am a single mom who works at Target food court, and I am the caregiver for my cousin, who has Down syndrome, and my two aunts.

Being named WeightLossBuddy.com Buddy of the Month is a great honor. And it is extra special because it marks the one-year anniversary of my successful weight-loss journey.

You can see my progress in these two photos. The first one was taken in about 2002; I''m the one on the left. I''m sitting with my grandmother and mother. And yes, I did have a big stomach, and, no, I was NOT pregnant. The second one, my WeightLossBuddy.com look, was snapped in December 2005.

Hi. My name is Trista. I have been heavy all my life. After having three children, I gained 60 pounds. Shortly after my youngest was born we moved away from my home town.

I finally had a reality check when I recieved some pictures of myself from a friend. I couldn''t belive what I saw. I ran to the store and bought a scale. I weighed in at 175 on my 5''1" body. I started out great the weight just seemed to fall off. After I had lost 20 pounds I platued. Being in a new city I didn''t really know anyone and had no support group.

After I found Weight Loss Buddy - when I had a bad day I could log on and talk to someone. I am now done to 135 pounds and have about 10 more to lose. Normally I would feel as if it was impossible to lose the last ten but now I know I can loss it woth the support of everyone at Weight Loss Buddy. Thank you,

~Trista

My name is Peggy, but all of my Weight Loss Buddies know me as Texaslady04. I''ve been overweight nearly all of my adult life. I lost 100 pounds by watching my carbohydrates and eating more protein. I joined Weight Loss Buddy in January 2005, and with the help of my Buddies, I finally made by goal weight of 155 pounds in August of 2005.

This is a wonderful site. I could not have done it without all of my Weight Loss Buddies. I''m always in the chat rooms, and I especially like the weekly ones that are hosted by experts. And when I do fall off my plan, I don''t give up. I just start over again the next day. I want everyone who is reading this to know that if you need a buddy, I will be yours.

~Peggy

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I gained 105 pounds when I was pregnant, and I it has taken me all this time, my daughter is 9 1/2 months old, to take off 82 of them.

And it''s all because of the encouragement of my team, MORE THAN JUST MOMS. I have another 60 pounds to go. I was at a plateau from February to July, but with the WeightLossBuddy.com program, I''ve lost 1 3/4 inches since the end of June. Joanna, is on my team. She loses EVERY WEEK!! She keeps it real for all of us. You can count on encouragement and kudos from Jo. She always has helpful advice, and I attribute much of my success to her.

After my best friend told me about the support she was getting from WeightLossBuddy.com MORE THAN JUST MOMS, I joined the team that day. I don''t know what I would do without the support of the moms on the team. They have helped me every step of the way. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in February, and my endocrinologist said I don''t metabolize fat and that even if I ate only lettuce I still would gain weight. I am happy to say he is full of it. It is a slow process, but with the help of my team, I am losing the inches.

WeightLossBuddy.com has changed my life!

I was only on the site for ONE Day when I met Laura, who is our team leader. She is the ONE person I can trust and confide in and that ONE person who always will be happy for me when I lose weight. My WLB is Tonya! She is awesome. With her help, I have lost 95 pounds so far and for the first time in my life I feel as though I can make it the rest of the way. My entire team is supportive and motivating. We all stick together and help each other figure out how to get this weight off. Julie works very hard and is finally making progress, and that makes me happy. These women have become such an important part of my life.

I would not have made it without them and WeightLossBuddy. I can''t believe how far I have come!!! I have made lifelong friends, and I am achieving a goal that I have been trying to reach all my life.

~Joanna

I have always wanted to help people and to be a social worker. While at school, I did some volunteer work in the Mental Health Department. After finishing school, while working as a laboratory assistant, I went on to volunteer at a women''s refuge. Much later in life (after my marriage broke up), I moved near the sea and became a Surf Life Saver where for the past ten years, I have helped people on the beach. I also got assisted in training new members and the got involved with running the local Surf Club. And before I knew it, I was asked to become a swim coach for the Masters Swimming Club. Masters is full of all types of people: mainly women, among them, many large women.

As a coach, I felt like I took on many other responsibilities as well: doctor, mother, career advisor, teacher and many other roles. Over the years, people have come to me, not only for swim coaching, but to share their health (and other) problems with me as well. Whether it is helping little old ladies find their way back home, or helping people with there computer problems, I find myself being someone''s ''buddy'', even if it is only for a short time. I have learned that to help people you only need to be a friend to them and to show you care. <

Rules I would like to live by:
 * Try to say something nice to everyone you see, everyday
* Treat people the way you would like to be treated.
* Smile! It is a great way to cheer people up.

TI think this website is awesome. I don''t chat because of my busy schedule, but I do read the wonderful motivational tips sent to my email. I think this website is GREAT.

Please keep the wonderful emails coming. I''m on my way to losing weight, slowly but surely.....I don''t concern myself with how fast the pounds are going anymore, my clothes fit better AND I''m feeling so much better. Eating healthy is wonderful and exercise is becoming more and more fun everyday. Although you don''t hear from me, I am enjoying all that you do, so keep it coming.

~Michelle

I have lossed 20lbs and have a buddy from the web site. I am really struggling right now so your email was great. I will concentrate on the long haul and go take a walk instead of grazing.....I feel this is really a crucial time because it is usually about 6 weeks and I slip and go down the slippery slope into binge eating.

Dear Joey, I wanted to thank you for the wonderful welcome to your site. I''m so delighted to have made new friends from your site. It''s the first time for a long time that I feel that I belong, I have felt so alone with my weight problem , but I now have made friends who are stuggling to. I want to thank you ever so much. I would love to hear from you on any tips that could help me . Im a 50 year old female with a heart condition and I need to loose atleast 70 lbs, and I need someone to be there to give that extra hope and tell me that I can do it.

I joined only this week. I found the site by going to Google with Overeater Help as the search. I was fortunate enough to get hooked up with many friends on Weight Loss Buddies, Thank you for setting the site up. So far just the support has been all I need now and it is great. Thanks God Bless,

I am 41 yrs old, and weigh 197 lbs, I''m only 5''3" tall, so the weight is becoming more of a problem for my body and appearance, I just hate it! WLB has been a Godsend for me, (since I am disabled with Multiple Sclerosis for the past 6 years, this diagnosis is the reason I gained my extra 70 lbs, from steriod iv''s to being completly paralyzed on my left side) my ability to get out is difficult , all I have to do is come to WLB for the guidance and support I need. I have had success with losing weight but have gained it ALL back, thats what led me to your WLB''s program. There is such a strong support there and everyone truly understands the hardships weight loss can have. I have never seen such genuine support before in any group!

Thanks for letting me participate in this wonderful group!

~Joey

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks again!!!!

I dropped 10 pounds by going to the gym working out there at least 2 to 3 times a week. I am eating the healthy fruits and vegetables that do not have a lot of acid in them. You see I have acid reflex disease and I can not eat a lot of the fruits that have acid in them.

Julie works very hard and is finally making progress and that makes me happy. These women have become such an important part of my life.

"I really enjoy all the support I have gotten from WLB.."
 
Several Years ago I decided to have a life changing event.  I was at my all time high of 209 pounds and unhappy with myself and where my life was going.  I wanted to get on track and loose some weight. I bought a treadmill and started like everyone does from square one.  With NO CLUE on where to begin I just started to walk and watch what I was eating and little by little the weight started coming off… As I started to get closer to my goal weight of 135 pounds it got harder and harder to lose the weight.  I would lose and gain the SAME 10 pounds and it seemed like no matter what I did… what I ate… How I exercised it was like a yo yo… gain lose gain lose… Exercise became a drag and dieting was just not my cup of tea.   It was hard for me to do it on my own.  In late 2006 I joined WLB in an effort to try and keep the weight I had already lost off and try and lose that last stubborn 15 pounds. 

I really enjoy all the support I have gotten from WLB and really look forward to keeping up the hard work.  Maybe just maybe I will be able to reach my goal weight by New Years Eve and fit into that tiny little Black Dress.  CHEERS to WLB!!
