In Need Of Some Extra Support?

Welcome to The Wildcats!

We along with two other teams (F.F. & H.B.R.) compete every week to see which team has the most weight loss. During the week we provide support and encouragement. We like to talk a little smack here and there as well. *smiles* We are an online family, fighting to get healthy everyday and we would love for you to be a part of it all!

For more information please message me, and Id be happy to tell you more!

Looking For Members

Hello Buddyslimmers!!

The Wildcats are looking for some motivating, active team members!!

Here is some info about us:

The Wild Cats compete against three other teams–the Natural Elements, the Heartbreakers and the Fitness Fanatics–to see who loses the most pounds on a weekly basis. We weigh in every Friday–with a 10:00 am cutoff time in your own time zone. You can weigh in earlier if you want, but preferably no earlier than Wednesday. We try to send out at least one e-mail or booster each week to all the Wild Cats to offer support and check on how you are doing. We also offer exercise challenges. You do not have to do them but we have had some members who requested them, so we offer them. You’ll find these exercise challenges posted on the Wild Cat profile each week. Again, it isn’t required that you do them, but it is highly recommended!

We have two forums. One is for chatting and cheering each other on (and having a little fun), and the other is our serious forum where you should post your plans, progress, ask advice, talk about your struggles, tough days or request additional support.. We use two forums so that serious weight talk doesn’t get lost in all the jokes. If you find time, go to our Chat section and introduce yourself there. You can find us by looking at the Buddy Slim menu bar and clicking Forum and then click Weight Loss Challenges and then click Wild Cat Goal or Chat section. We will post your picture in our cheer section so other members know who you are.

Let me tell you what you can expect from us and then I’ll tell you what we expect from our members. If you e-mail us, we will respond! It may take a few hours or might even be the next day, but you will get a response if you e-mail us. Also, we won’t be online all the time, but we will respond to your posts on the serious forum. As for the cheer forum, we’ll be on there, too, giving everybody a hard time. If you don’t know us yet, we’re full of sarcasm (and good cheer as well)!!

Now, for what we expect from members. We don’t expect any more from you than we do for ourselves or than you should expect from yourself. We expect you to do your best!! Whether you post it or not, we expect you to have a plan for your eating and we expect you to try to stick to it at least 6 days per week. If you don’t have a plan, let us know and we may be able to help you develop one. We would also like for you to workout at least 5 days per week and try for 6. If you don’t have a workout plan, let us know and we can help with that, too.

Last, but most importantly, we expect you to show up on time for weigh in every week. If for some reason you are not going to be able to weigh in on a particular week, let us know ahead of time. We know that there may be emergencies or problems that keep us from getting on the computer. However, those should be few and far between. This team is made up of some pretty awesome people who work their butts off to get us a win every week. We depend on each team member to do his or her part. It only takes a couple of minutes to reply to an e-mail and we should all be able to handle that! So, here’s what we think of no-shows—We don’t like them and don’t want them!!! Here’s what we will do: If you do not respond to the weekly weigh-in message by the 10:00 am cutoff time, we’ll send you an e-mail that afternoon to find out what happened. If we don’t get a response from you by 7:00 pm on Monday, for the good of the team we will have to give your spot to someone else. If you get back to us after the cutoff time and have a legitimate reason for not weighing in and not responding to the message, we’ll work you back on the team just as soon as there is another opening. Remember, you can always weigh in early if you need to. Also, please don’t “no-show” for weigh-in because you’ve gained weight, or haven’t lost any weight! Weight fluctuations occur regularly, and we will NEVER judge you or make you feel bad about it! We will just continue to support and encourage you to do your very best! We will all have “off” weeks sometimes, but the key is to get back on plan as soon as possible, and the support of your teammates will help you do that!

We will send you a weigh-in reminder each Thursday, and all you need to do in order to weigh-in for each week is respond to the e-mail with your current weight before Saturday at 10:00 am!
We are so glad to have you on the team! Have a great day! If you have any questions, you can e-mail Joy or Wildcat (your team leader) anytime. We look forward to getting to know you better and hope you have a great time with our group! GO WILD CATS!!

If you are interested in joining let us know!!

Team weigh in requirements

The Importance of the Weight Loss Support System 

Ask anyone who has tried to lose weight and they will tell you that it’s never easy. It takes determination and lots of will power. It is extremely difficult because we are surrounded by the foods, snacks and beverages that we love. You can’t watch television, listen to the radio, see a movie or read a magazine without coming face to face with fattening foods. Old habits are hard to break and snacking is one of the hardest. It’s difficult to resist snacking when your will power is strong, but when it’s weak, especially late at night when you are bored or feeling down, it’s almost impossible.


We all want to learn how to lose weight and eat healthier, but it is difficult to actually do either on a daily basis. That’s why a support system is so beneficial. Your family and friends are there for you, but they don’t always want to hear the trials and tribulations you are going through. Through the Internet, you can communicate anonymously 24/7 with people who are having the same problems as you. You can both give and get advice. That support and encouragement will help you lose weight and keep it off.



The reason that both online and face to face support groups work is accountability. You have to regularly share with other dieters information about the foods you eat, the amount of exercise you do, and the amount of weight you have lost. This will make you feel like you are in control of your weight problem. If, for example, you report increased physical activity and a resulting weight loss, you are motivating yourself and others to exercise. In return, dieters can tell you how they lost weight through a specific exercise regimen.

If you are ready to join a group - we have a few openings!

Who we are: The Wildcats Best Weightloss Team on Buddyslim!

Each team be it Heartbreakers, Natural Elements AND Fitness Fanatics are allowed to have 30 members per team for weigh in.  Whether or not each team retains the maximum allowed us up to the team leaders.

Our team captain works extra hard to retain a full roster.

Now, for what we expect from members. We don’t expect any more from you than we do for ourselves or than you should expect from yourself. We expect you to do your best!!

If you have ANY QUESTIONS about ANYTHING ANYTHING AT ALL, PLEASE CONTACT THE WILDCATS TEAM LEADERS NANCY AND GINA TO CLARIFY ANY ISSUES.

One note:  Accurate weigh in is very important.  If you lost 2 lbs, report your 2 lbs loss.  If you lost 1.3 lbs, report a 1.3 lb loss.  If you maintained or gained - report those as well.

The wildcats team leaders WILL ONLY report the number you provide.  It is not in our interest to adjust your number for the sole purpose of winning.
