buddy wanted

hi everyone

my names Alison. im from south yorkshire UK. im 41 and trying atkins again from tomorrow. iv ordered the book and an atkins cookbook and im ready.

what im really missing which im hoping will make me stick to it long term, is a buddy. i think i went off the diet last time cos i had no one to discuss it with and give mutual encouragement to. if you join weightwatchers etc everyone knows these diets as they are considered acceptable, but if you say youre on atkins, people are negative and say just this slice of bread wont hurt or you can start again tomorrow.

so im committing myself but would like a like minded person to be in contact with and share ideas, ups and downs.

if anyone wants to join me on my journey, please send me a message.

i know this site is full of wonderful supporting people and hope i can become part of you in the months and years to come.

Re: buddy wanted

I don't know if you got a message. I hope so.
You can join up and post here and interact that can be helpful too. We discuss the diet a lot.

Re: buddy wanted

Try and read the info in this thread on ticker and see if that help

Maybe start a buddy thread in the induction forum. Sometimes they take off. Or a journal in the journal section of the forum. That is a great place to chat and to get support

Re: buddy wanted

Hello, I am also interested in using the buddy system. I just started this past Monday. If you would like to be buddies let me know, I can give you my email, because I can see my messages on my phone or we can post on the site. I will see if I can import the email on this site to my phone. I had started atkins back in 2001. I have been through every diet, but I did not lose the weight until I started to run. I started of walking, then I worked my way up to running 6 miles per day. I had a foot injury, then I became depressed and packed the weight back on. I am here to try Atkins again, simply because the results are pretty noticeable. Anyway, glad that you have decided to lose weight also. I WISH YOU GREAT SUCCESS....JUST THINK AND YOU CAN ACHIEVE IT!!!!!
