Hi Genie and BOTT Family,

I would also love to have a BOTT Buddy.  Genie, if you still need a BOTT Buddy, I would love to be your buddy!  I lost about 80 pounds after surgery, but I gained 20 pounds since then.  I would love to lose about 55 pounds.   So, if  you or any other BOTT member would like to buddy up with me, I would be more than happy!

I too need a buddy.  This is a giant step for me.  I am about 4 /12 years out.  I started at 287 and was a perfect poster child getting all the way down to 134.  I am now back up to almost 200.  I threw all I learned out the window and I am miserable.  I need to get back to at least 150 so a 50 pound loss right now would help.  I am 51, married, no kids and husband had his surgery almost 4 years ago.  Problem is he is a totally disfunctional eater.  Lives on soup and cheese and crackers.  He is terrified to eat anything so I don't cook.  Live in Palm Beach County Florida.  Work at an assisted living home as an admin.  Anyone want a buddy?

 I live in south TX near Victoria and would love a workout buddy. I had rny in Jan 2007 and went from 255 to 175. I'm currently at about 190 and swore I'd never go back over 200. My boyfriend is supportive and also trying to start living healthier and get in shape but we're so used to our ways that sometimes we aren't the best motivators for each other. We have been tracking calories and activity with an iPhone app food diary called 'my fitness pal' and it's helping to improve our eating but I know I need to get more exercise in. I'm a full time college student going back Jan 17 so I'll have an extremely busy schedule in a couple weeks but I want and NEED to make myself find the time for me to get back in shape. I've put on a 'back to school 15' and I feel frumpy and blah. I want to fit back into my skinny jeans and my nice dress clothes for job interviews (and grad school interviews) when I finish my bachelors degree. I'll be 29 this month and I'd love to reach my goal weight of 150 before turning 30!!  If I can reach a goal of about a pound a week down this year, I CAN do it!!!

Happy New Year and Happy New Start to All!

I have been away from the boards for a long time and I need to get on back on track before I get any more out of control.  I did well for a long time but the last year and a half have been a real challenge.  I have had a lot of stress in my life and went back to emotional eating. Too many hours at work and feeling sorry for myself cut into my exercising - I want to get back to it.   I have gained about 25 pounds back and and I want to stop the weight gain NOW!  I need a Buddy and am located in the Pittsburgh, PA  area. 

We can all do it together!!!!

Take care!

 I live in Olympia Wa, had surgery in Jul 2008!  I lost 130 lbs and gained back about 10...I am totally off track and need a buddy bad!

Hi Kelly, I also could use a buddy. If for nothing else the support and the push I had my surgery nov. 2008 I have yet to reach my goal weight and know I really need to get back to basics and get my tail moving!! So if your interested we can do what ever it takes long distance. I live in Richland, WA

I have got to get BOTT and the sooner the better!  I had RNY 10/2006 and I did really well.  I didn't have a "goal
 weight because I knew with me being 6'2 saying that 150 lbs is realistic was not in the plan. I did reach my "goal" size which was a size 12.  I was able to maintain it for over a year.  I went through a horrific divorce and of course it kinda went from there. 
I want to get back to a healthy place and get rid of this extra 60 lbs of the 180 that I originally lost. 
I am in the Charlotte, NC area so if anyone is looking for a BOTT Buddy please let me know.

Good morning,

 

I also live in Charlotte and am wanting to get back on track. I had RNY on 01/18/2008 and I did get down to my goal weight. Then I started doing the things that I wasn't supposed to like snaking and not working out and drinking while eating. So I have gained 25 lbs back and looking to take that off ASAP. Sometimes I feel that I forgot how to eat and everything that goes with RNY. My email address is [email protected] if your interested in talking and maybe doing this as a team please feel free to email me. Thanks

Happy New Year all,
I am just over a year out and would love a BOTT Buddy.  I have about 50lbs to lose before I am at goal.  I live in Northern Illinois but a buddy from anywhere would be fine with me!  Love smart phones!!
I am 48, a special education teacher, mother of two teens and a lover of Labradors!  I have two chocolate labs!  My hobbies range from crafts, reading, to reality shows.  I know that last one is terrible, but I just love Project Runway!!
Looking forward to a new friend
Debbie
