Buddy System
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 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.
Together we will be using the Buddy
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.
