TREA241 Let me know if you need help finding a buddy.

I would like a buddy! The hardest thing I struggle with is motivation. I can have a good two days, one bad day and then I give up for months at a time. I need someone to help me stay on a consistent path. Consistency is the key, right?!

Tracey Im so happy to be able to assist you. You said exactly what I was planning to happen. Each person read an intro and buddy finder post from someone and pick a buddy that have similarities or what ever that catch your attention.

Keep Sparking. And I hope everyone on the buddy finder system is able to buddy up soon before the holidays.

Yes! We have! And it's been great so far. Jen, from CELEBRATING-JEN and myself (Tracey) have exchanged numbers, and email addresses. We've discussed, families, SP, wt. loss, Thanksgiving plans, exercises, and running shoes! It's great having a buddy thru this. We read each other's entry in this forum and picked one another. for the similarities. Anyway, I'm excited to have a buddy. Thanks for the way you did it.

It's fine to read someone else post and if you would like to be their buddy contact them. I didn't want to force buddies together. I figured it's best to find a buddy that you feel will benefit you the best way.

I wasn't sure how you wanted us to do this,other teams I have been on match members together.We should ask another member if they would like to buddy up,am I correct?Thank you,who would like to be my buddy? my information is below and I really need help with mindless eating and getting my fitness done,due to a heart condition I am somewhat limited and cannot run yet and mostly walk for fitness.

It'd be great to have a buddy that is journeying down a similar road. Yay for grown-up talk! :)

I'm trying to get to bed early tonight, we've been such night owls and we're working on changing that, but I'll drop you a Spark Mail tomorrow.

hahhaha age doesnt really matter to me. i spend most of my time with a little one whose only questions are when will he eat and can i change his diaper....not great for stimulating conversation lol.

I'm in need of a buddy too!! KAITHOFFMAN I'd be happy to be yours if you haven't found one already...but I warn you...I have children almost your age. :o) I promise I won't be upset if you'd rather wait until someone closer to your age posts.

1) My spark name is HelloFitKitty

2) Call me Kat or Kitty

3) Going it alone has not worked for me thus far. I need friendship and interaction with someone like me. Someone that can kick me in the butt when I need it.

4) I'm very friendly and supportive and want to see people reach their goals. I'd help in any way possible. Sometimes it's just knowing someone is there looking out for you and checking in on you.

5) We can keep in touch via SP, email, txt. Whatever works.
