#Person1#: Can you believe her? She is not even a hundred pounds and she is going off on how she wants to go on a diet.
#Person2#: Tell me about it. If I was as small as her, I wouldn't think about going on a diet.
#Person1#: Me too. But what are we going to do? I have been on 4 different diets and I can't seem to lose weight.
#Person2#: That's because you don't exercise. If you were more active, you wouldn't have a dieting problem.
#Person1#: What do you know? You are over weight too.
#Person2#: I'm not on a diet though.
#Person1#: I know. But I don't have someone to diet with. If we help each other and motivate each other, then I think we can lose some weight.
#Person2#: I like ice cream too much though.
#Person1#: C'mon. You'll feel better and look better and as a reward you can eat a little bit of ice cream here and there.
#Person2#: It does sound appealing.
#Person1#: It's a great idea. I can't believe I didn't think of this earlier. Going on a diet with a friend to back you up is a great way to succeed.
#Person2#: Okay. I'm in. Let's do it.
#Person1#: Great. I'll get our plan started right away.
#Person2#: Can we start tomorrow though?
