Losing weight can be a difficult task for any dieter. You have to constantly deal with food temptation as well as finding the motivation to exercise. To get through the pitfalls of dieting, you should look for a friend to help you reach your weight loss goals.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Check with your friends to see if anyone is planning to diet. Talk about your goals and see if you can reach them together. You want a weight loss buddy who has strong willpower and who motivates you during your diet.

  2. Step 2

    Use the Internet to find a weight loss buddy. The Weight Loss Buddy website can connect you with other people that are trying to drop excess weight. You can chat with other members and post your accomplishments on the forums.

  3. Step 3

    Find a social networking website to get in touch with a weight loss buddy. The most popular choices for this type of site include Losing It and Extra Pounds.

  4. Step 4

    Look at your gym for a weight loss buddy. A fellow gym member is ideal for a weight loss buddy because you can set times to workout together.

  5. Step 5

    Pick a buddy from your weight loss program group. If you belong to a group such as Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig, connect with a person from there. They can support you as you attempt to follow the eating program.

Tips & Warnings
  • You should expect to return the favor once you find a weight loss buddy. You must be available to motivate and cheer on your fellow dieter.
  • Talk about your weight loss goals before you choose your weight loss buddy. A person with similar goals may be the best match for you.
