In need of motivating friends!

Hi. I am a 30 year old who has decided it is time to get serious about making changes. I am about 5’6 but am about 80 – 100 pounds overweight at around 240. My goal weight is between 135 and 150. This is my second “real” go round with MFP. I joined about 2 years ago and lost 15 pounds in about 2-3 months. Then I got a job where I sit all day, didn’t have time (or the inclination to log into MFP), and can be rather stressful at different times of the month. Which is a problem since I am a stress eater. This is something that I am working on. A good friend pointed out that “If it’s not hunger than food won’t fixit” which has a been a good motivator in staying away from food when stressed. I am now working on taking short walks or climbing stairs at work rather than reaching for food. Any other suggestions are greatly welcomed.

I know that MFP works since it has worked form me before. In addition to getting back into using MFP I am working with a personal trainer to actually get exercise and learn how to do them properly.

I would love to add friends that could help encourage me and that I could help encourage. Ideas on a better diet and at home exercises would be greatly appreciated. If interested in helping each other stay motived please add me!

I'm 30 as well and need more motivated friends!! The more the merrier!! I restarted weight loss when I got back up to 245, now down to 219, with a new goal to get to 165 and then go from there, feel free to add! I also run a great to accountability, challenges, and weigh ins!!

Good luck!!

I am in the same boat as you...I did MFP a couple of years ago and lost 19lbs....then...well not sure what happened but I stopped logging in, and one thing lead to another and well I gained it all back :-( I would love for you to add me.

Hi! I just turned 29 and I'm in the same boat as all of you. I have about 100 pounds to lose and have used MFP before but not enough to lose weight with it. Would love to have some motivating new friends!
