I'm Back and Need Friends

I was on MFP for a long time a year or so ago. Did a pretty good job losing weight (from 160 down to 135). Then I went through a divorce .... stopped exercising, kept eating to feed my depression. I'm back now and determined to get back in line!!

I'm 36, 5'3" ... currently 168 with a goal of 140. I'm a fan of my FitBit and like reading more about Clean Eating. I walk and do yoga and plan on adding weights later in my workout routine.

Who's with me?? Feel free to add me for some mutual motivation!!

    I hear you!!! I'm also 36 and about 5' 10"; I'm trying to get to 200 for now, I'm currently as of today 242.4 lbs. Very happy to be back in the swing of things myself, as a case of hypothyroidism knocked the wind out of me for a good while and put the weight back on me. (Grrr.) So I'm always looking for new friends too, my diary is always open, and add me on if you like!!! :flowerforyou:

    Remember, we're in this together.

    I hear you on that loss of motivation stuff. You did it once and I wager you'll do it again. Just got serious again myself. Lets do this!

    Hey I am barely still 33 (I turn 34 on Sunday). I got on MFP 5 weeks after my second kid was born and lost all my baby weight and then an additional 35 pounds. I have kind of maintained (gained about 5 pounds) and am looking to lose a couple pounds and keep it off. I am now (as of this week) doing green smoothies for lunch but eating oatmeal for breakfast and a decent dinner. I am waiting for some warmer mornings so that I can start jogging in the morning. Add me if you would like.

  • Welcome back!
  • I am 15 and am 5'8 and weight 156 lbs, and I would like to get down to 133 lbs!! I have tried all the fad diets but I always gain the weight right back, and I found out about my fitnesspal, so I downloaded the app and am determined to get to my goal by summer!!! I need friends though and all the motivation and support I can get!
