little tip I found online...

Tip #9 Find an online weight-loss buddy. A University of Vermont study found that online weight-loss buddies help you keep the weight off. The researchers followed volunteers for 18 months. Those assigned to an Internet-based weight maintenance program sustained their weight loss better than those who met face-to-face in a support group.

I was part of the original study at UVM in '98... it was very interesting

I would love to have a weight loss buddy. I really need some motivation. Had gained 10 lbs at my last dr. appointment. Renal doctor wants me to eat very little protein. I also have Type II Diabetes so I really have to watch my carbs. How come I'm so fat?
