Need motivated friends

gloriaallen36

Struggling to lose weight by myself so I am searching for friends to add to help me along. I would love to help you as well!! ♥ I am 45 years old mother of 3 adult children and 2 in Middle school. I work in healthcare but seems we don't think of our own health at times. TIA

I just turned 40 and would love to be friends and hold each other accountable!

Welcome to the community!

Friends are nice, but you are actually the only one here you can be accountable to. And the good news is YOU CAN DO IT! Set good goals, and develop strategies to create good habits you will stick to indefinitely.

What are your goals?

Hi! I'm 40 and mother to a 9 year old daughter. I am very motivated to hit my goals at this point in my life. Mostly, my goals are to keep my Type 2 diabetes exercise and diet controlled and to get to where I'm "overweight" rather than "obese".... I'm only 5 lbs away from seeing that change! Feel free to friend me if you like.

I can tell you one of the best tools for accountability I've found is going in on accountability groups on these forums or some of the challenges. I'm in the Hogwars challenge and doing my second term. That helps greatly and pushes me out of my comfort zone as well. I'm also in the following forum chats:
