I would really like to develop a one to one buddy relationship for support, encouragement and accountability. It's great coming to the LC forum in general but it would be nice to have a buddy.

Some other considerations:

1) Christianity- I am a Christan and would like to find a Christian buddy but anybody who's OK with my faith is fine by me. Prayer support would be great, both to give and receive.

2)Scwarzbein or similar approach- I follow Schwarzbein, but I don't strictly count carbs. I eat low glycemic fruits and some small servings of whole grains as I feel my body *needs* them. Try to avoid sugar altogether but sometimes PMS cravings do get the better of me. I generally eat 3-4 small meals a day and LC snacks as my body demands. I do lose when I'm following this WOE. It's losing motivation and succumbing to sweets that are my downfall. I love my LC meat and vegie meals.

3) Organic/ Health approach - I'm not into artificial sweeteners and processed foods at all and try to buy organic products when I can find and/or afford them.

4) 20-25 lbs to lose - Someone with a similar amount to lose would be great but this is not at all necessary. I've kept off 30 lbs out of 56 total lost at Weight Watchers 3 yrs ago so I know what it is to have further to go.

Mostly I'm just looking for a buddy. The details aren't really all that important. It would just be nice to have a special LC friendship. Somebody to keep track of me when I feel like slipping away to hide.... and somebody to do the same for.

To know a bit more, please feel free to peruse my journal amieK in the Journals A to B section or read my Introduction at http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthre...&threadid=21111

Hope my buddy is out there somewhere!
