    Hi! I'm a mom that needs to lose 80ish lbs. I'm 45 - and I had been gaining 5 lbs a year for years - just buying bigger clothes - then I had a couple babies back to back at 38 and 39, lost the weight each time, started smoking again after each pregnancy. I finally quit smoking in Feb 2012 for good, and gained 30 lbs. Now I weigh as much as I weighed when I delivered my babies, and I just can't lose it! I drop 8-10 lbs, then gain it right back.

    I've dropped all my "friends" on my fitness pal because I felt like it was an unhealthy competition, rather than motivating and supportive, you know?

    I pretty much start everyday making healthy choices - hard boiled eggs for breakfast, non-fat greek yogurt a couple hours later - then someone has donuts, or we have cake to celebrate a birthday or promotion or retirement... and I fall apart! Then I spend the rest of the day eating like it's my final hoorah! Chicken and dumplings for dinner, cookies after the kids are in bed... Everyday is the same!!

    ooh, some good friends to request on this post! Ive been on here for years. When consistent, it works! But lately, I havent been able to find motivation. We are going to FL in two weeks, so trying on summer clothes from last year have kicked me right in the behind! I'm 5'4, and would like to start with a goal of losing 25lbs. That would take me bakc to my pre-pregnancy weight. My kids are almost 13 and 9 (:()). Once that goal is reached, I'd love to lose another 20lbs. trying to log and go low carb this time.

    I wanted to add you as a friend but then I saw you're a Duke Fan. As an NCSU grad, I'm not sure this thing will work between us. Think I can overlook this MAJOR flaw and add you anyway.

    Mom of 2 here, a 3 year old son and a 5 year old french Bulldog.
    I'm 34, 5'1" and need to lose about 55 pounds.

    Everyone is welcome to add me. I've lost count on how many times I've tried this healthy way of life. I am always laughing, mainly at myself, since some people have a hard time picking up my humor. So feel free to laugh with me, since I know you're not laughing at me

    Hahaha I'm a Notre Dame fan..... :p Anyhow, I'm 33, mother of 9 year old twins. I've lost 36 pounds so far. Have you heard of the Hogwarts Running Club? I'm a member and my house is Hufflepuff. I just signed up for the Umbridge 13K. Can we still be friends even if I'm Irish? ;)

    I have not! I am looking it up thank you!!!

    As long as you are not a Tar heels fan, we are okay

    It is on woman! Just joined Slytherin. Looks like I need to sign up for the 13k as soon as can figure out how this works exactly
