Looking for a motivation and support buddy

Posts: 4 Member
edited November 2024 in Motivation and Support
I've gotten to a low point and just re-joined fitnesspal. I used to be in good shape, felt healthy, etc., but have fallen back on old, bad habits, particularly overeating/emotional eating. My starting goals are pretty small: start going to the gym regularly again, lose 7 pounds, stop overeating. Looking for buddy who also needs motivation/support for any or all of these things! Would love to have someone to check in regularly with.

Welcome!

    Hi, I totally understand what you're saying. I'll be your buddy. I've also been slacking...over eating and eating the wrong food. Just changed jobs, working more hours. Also maintaining a house and looking after two young kids. I'm often too tired to do anything think for myself. I would also like to lose 7 pounds.

    Hi I'm there too. I also just started a new job and have a two year old that takes all of my free time for myself. I'd love to be a part of a support network for each other. I actually just started over today! Started tracking my food again, stepped on the scale for the first time in a while and walked two miles at lunch time. Have a lot to lose but looking to do it the right way this time and change my lifestyle for the long run.

    Glad to see there are some more people looking to start fresh! Are there any more folks out there looking for support in getting fit?

    I am in the same boat, as in I have just rejoined my fitness pal after feeling super upset on how bed I've let myself go. I would love to have a motivational buddy too. Everyone in my actual life flakes out in the first week :/
