Over the years I’ve wanted to lose weight at various times. And I’ve found that I tend to succeed at reaching my goals more often when I have a weight loss buddy. My first was a walking buddy. But I’ve had the most success thanks to a colleague and friend I talk to online. We became virtual workout buddies a few years back. And after a break, we’ve been thinking about giving it another go. It might be just what I need to jump start my “get in shape” plans.
