How did YOU find BUDDYSLIM anyway?

I always wonder to myself what brought others to this site.  What made them think to go online and look for a sight to help them lose weight. 

Personally, I was watching 20/20 and heard a story of 3 woman that met each other after sharing a online relationship through a weightloss sight affiliated with People’s Magazine. They shared such a bond after losing lots of weight together that they had to meet!

I searched and searched for this site, but had trouble finding it until one day I happened upon this site and I have been here ever since.  Good thing I did, too.  It has been a tremendous help to me tracking my progress, and getting lots of support most importantly.

I have even paid for sites and they have not been this helpful. Before hearing about this site on 20/20 I only thought to keep track of my weightloss through a weight ticker I could manage. 

So how did you find Buddyslim?  I am just curious. :)

    Well I was listen to the Jillian Michael’s Show (personal trainer on Biggest Loser) and she was talking about one site and getting a buddy/support. I went to the site and I saw you had to pay for that one…and I wasn’t willing to pay for anything so I kept searching. I found this site and it’s so much better than anything I could pay for.

    My WW online subscription ended and I didn’t want to renew but I still wanted to track my weight. Never thought about blogging or buddies or anything. Just typed in free weight tracker and here I am!

    I googled weight loss support and found you guys. I also signed up for another site around the same time but it’s nothing like this one and I can’t remember it even if I wanted to.

    I love this site because it’s user friendly, free and the people are 100% real.

    Let see, thinking back… I was so desperate to fine a website to help me with my long journey to weight loss. I wanted something that would have people like myself looking for support, encouragement, and people wanting the same thing I wanted… which was to change my lifestyle eat healthy, exercise and stay fit for the rest of my life.

    What I did was a search on yahoo… and many similar sites came up. I somehow saw this site liked what it had to offer and set up an account. I had this account for many months before I even got active on it. I started getting active & being serious about my diet & exercise since June 14, 2008. So far I’ve made a few wonderful lady friends. With my own inter support & my friends support & encouragement I loss 3lbs since.

    I read an article in Shape Magazine, which mentioned this site. I gave a look and I was hooked (since I’m not a computer wizard, being so easy to start a blog was really appealing) Finding a lot of amazing peole on line did the rest ( and I’ Italian, too )

    I was thinking an online weight loss blog would be helpful and I wondered if there was any site offering that kind of service so… I came across other 2 sites, but this one was the only that convinced me.

    I used yahoo search :P ahhh yahoo… my old friend… Did I ever mention I could learn english thanks to yahoo chats?? Hehe well… I did! God bless Yahooo chats, hehe! and yahoo search too ;)
