I'm a single mom of 1.. super busy with a full time job and being a full time mom. . Last year both my sister and my mother got gastric bypass surgery. I have always been the smaller one and now I'm the bigger.. battling alot of depression and weight gain because if it. . Hoping this will give me the encouragement I need to beat the fat on my own and become a stronger physically and mentally. . Any advice or tips are welcome and new accountability friends would be awesome!

Welcome,

I think these two links are extremely helpful and can help you get the most out of MFP:

http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1234699/logging-accurately-step-by-step-guide/p1

http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1080242/a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants/p1

The first covers accurate logging and some of the tools in MFP to help you make things easier. The second discusses caloric needs and setting goals. These two posts completely changed my MFP experience and helped me be much more successful, so I hope they do the same for you.

For more friends check out these threads which ended up gaining alot of traction.

Feel free to add me! I am a single mom as well, and have lost lot of family which caused me to gain 20 pounds so it was hard!

But I did the first 3 weeks of 80DO and had good results! I lost 6 pounds and 3" going from 135 to 129 on my 5'5" frame. I stopped for two weeks, because I was traveling. So on Monday I am going to start from scratch.

If anyone wants to see my progress, I am going to document the whole thing with pictures and info etc, shoot me a friend request. Or if you want to share recipes or advice! Community is welcome

Oh I am also a physical therapist and a yoga teacher
