in Motivation and Support
Hi! I am looking for workout motivation buddies or accountability partners. I have lost 11lbs so far and have about 20 to go! I don't have a lot of people in my life that are actively trying to lose weight and would love to build a support network! If interested please add me or message me and I can add you!

    I am adding friends as well. Returning MFP user. Down about 7 since January 2nd and about 20 yet to go. Sending requests to you both. (Had lost 50 in 2014, maintained a while and then kind of climbed back up 20-25 over the past 2 years or so.)

    For anyone else who comes along: I'm 48, 5'5" and 150.5 heading for 130ish. Typically aim to lose .5-1 per week, goal for March is 3 pounds. I work a desk job, have made it a goal to hit 10k steps daily between walking before work and/or at lunch and/or in the evening. Also trying to add in bits of activity here & there as I can. 3 young adult children & 2 grands. My husband is also working to lose weight. My biggest struggle is long term consistency. I use a food scale, do not follow any particular food/diet plan. I go with the motto of eating what I want, if it fits.

    We have similar stats Staclin. I am about 150 and looking to get to 130. I loose about 1-2 a week as well. Looking forward to going on this journey with you both!

    Hello,
    Have room for one more? I'm just now recommitting to mfp after a long hiatus and was looking at Noom. Decided my money could be better spent on myself using mfp instead to reach my goal of losing 20 lbs.

    My downfall is my emotional eating, sweets, will power and portion control trying to keep my husband and young adult kids fed and they all have high metabolism. I'm the odd one out, lol.

    I'm 46F 5'8 167. I run as well and am hoping to kick my butt back into gear. Would love to find some active accountability partners.


    Please let me know!

    How's everyone doing? How has the past week been?

    I've been motivated by the amount of weight I could lose according to Noom and ready to give weightloss a try again but frugally using MFP.

    Yesterday was a great day!

    Ran 4 miles and ate decently considering. Busy day and got 15k steps in. Better than a long time ;)

    I'm bookmarking this so I can find easier and look forward to getting to know everyone and hear about you.

    Hi all, I’m a long time MFP user but recently joined noom to get over the rollercoaster of losing and gaining. I need to focus on mindset around food and consistency in choices!

    Glad to find other like minded individuals!
    We can do this!
