Fit&Trim's Buddy System FAQ

My Idea

With spring coming on strong and many of you writing about how you would like to lose a few pounds, I thought I would start Fit&Trim's Buddy System. I would arrange for you to have a Buddy, a person, like yourself, in the same group you are, in to help you get the encouragement and support you need to lose weight.

I know how hard it's to lose weight.
Just this summer I sat down with myself and decided that now, a couple of months before my 40th birthday, that this was THE time for me to lose weight.  I have lost 35 pounds and need to lose about another 20 using the ideas in the Menopause Diet by Dr. Larrian Gillespie - see interview.   But I know I'll make it thanks to the support of friends and learning how to eat right. (This is me BEFORE the diet to the right and I'm working to get some my "AFTER" pictures up).

How It Works

Together we will be using the Buddy 2001 Daily Journal Sheet, e-mails from buddies, and regular encouragement sessions.   We will have a place for weight loss tips.  I will also have a place on the FitandTrim web site for Success Stories and photos for any of you who would like me to post before and after pictures.  I will be the first one to do this.

If you are interested in the Fit&Trim's Buddy System just send your e-mail address to me and I will hook you up with a buddy who also wants to lose weight and a plan for your weight loss.

Send your e-mail address to me along with a few sentences about yourself at:

Fit&Trim's Buddy System is designed to help both body and soul.   Along with perfecting the outside we will also be  taking care of our inner selves. We are stronger together than apart and together we can do amazing things so please join me in Fit&Trim's Buddy System.

Spicy Beef

Dr. Larrian Gillespie has developed a way for women to eat to stay fit, sharp and lose weight and keep it off! Dr. Gillespie has been the first to recognize that women have different nutritional needs - we use foods differently and need to eat differently than men. Her recipe Spicy Beef comes from her book The Goddess Diet.  This stir-fry dish can easily be made for dinner and enjoyed by the entire family - especially the men!

Obesity in America
Over the last decade children, in the United States, have been gaining more and more weight.  Obesity is rapidly becoming an epidemic in our youngsters' lives.  Whether it's  all the fast food or lack of exercise, children are heavier than ever.  This increase in the national girth is giving way to such debilitating and chronic disease as diabetes, joint and muscle ailments, and even heart disease. Learn more about the Food Guide Pyramid, specifically directed towards children.
