Really could use some accountability FRIENDS for this long journey!

Hi All,

I've done the same after each baby and after reaching each goal. I gain at least 10-20 pounds back and feel like a failure. I want to continue staying on this journey but I find when I don't have fellow "journeyers" alongside me it's so much easier to fail. Would anyone like to join me? I'm 35 years old with 3 kiddos ages 15,11, and 6, and a husband that eats all the junk food he sees and doesn't gain an ounce. Very hard living with that as much as I love him. Anyway, if you're interested in doing this together I am very excited about being an encouragement to you and spurring you on to our mutual goal of being healthy and committed!

Hiya,

Well done for even deciding to start calorie counting! I could also do with some accountability friends! Feel free to add me . Staying motivated when work and life just gets tiring can be hard I agree. Feel free to add me

Hi. Sure, I can do a little bit of the weight loss journey with you. I'm not looking to lose weight super fast but I am trying to stick to mainly low calorie to lose some weight and regulate my PCOS in order to be a little healthier and hopefully to have an easier time getting pregnant and having healthy children. I totally agree that it seems kind of tough without motivation to stick to things. I'm really bad about sugary foods so I cannot rule those all out and my focus has been on limiting my portion sizes on everything I traditionally liked that can be more sugary or processed, but now that I started with the tracker on this site, I see that too much salt might actually be causing more of my bloating issues, so I'm attempting to change tactics a little to lower my salt intake as more of a focus than sugar reduction, while keeping on a low calorie diet. Overall, I think this is helping a little bit right now because I am drinking more water to get out previous salt intake, which seems to be an agreed upon good thing for most diets. Anyway, do you have a goal weight you are aiming toward? Anything drastic, or are you going for more of the losing enough weight to feel healthy thing?

I feel you on that husband thing! My husbands whole family eat sweets and snack foods all damn day and don’t gain and ounce. Meanwhile, I look at a bag of chips wrong and I’ve gained a couple pounds. Feel free to add me to be accountability friends, despite our lucky husbands and their damn metabolisms! Lol
