Friends Needed....

amurrah

Hello everyone...... my name is Ashley, i am new to the site and thought that it would be nice to have a few friends on here to help hold me accountable. I am 25 and weight in at a massive 242 pounds... i have 3 wonderful children that i cant seem to keep up with. i have to get this weight off, there is just no way around it... at 25 years old i'm supposed to be in the best shape of my life, right? isnt this the "prime of my life" well, if this is the best there is, i'm screwed!! I refuse to be unhappy and unhealthy anymore!!! This will change!!! my goal weight is 130 lbs, and i hope to hit that before i graduate college in may of 2013. anyone who wants a friend... hit me up!!!

You can do it and I'd be more than willing to be your friend. I'm an oldie... 56 and retiring next spring from 35 years of teaching. Used to be slim and trim then added weight slowly and through many life changes made poor eating choices. You are so wise to get it under control now! You can do it!!!!! let me know if you want to 'friend; and older gal. :-):wink:

Mom of 4 here, but approaching 40 (ack!). I think it's great you are doing this now-you'll be able to keep up with your kids much better. I think you'll find it amazing just what the shift in thinking and eating and adding some exercise will do. Feel free to add me if you would like.

Welcome aboard and way to make a decision early to try to make steps toward a "healthy" life for your sake and that of your kids. The journey is not always easy but the first step is deciding to do it and not making any more excuses. You can do this and this website and the individuals on it will inspire you to keep going. My best advice...throw the word "DIET" out the window and really try to reconcile in your mind that you are changing your lifestyle. I have found that with a diet if I screwed up I would say well I messed up anyway I might as well just quit! Now I just say well, I made some mistakes recently but since this is my lifestyle now let me just get back to what I know I need to do. Feel free to friend me and keep up the good work!

Hello welcome aboard! I'm 29 and I've decided I refuse to be 300 pounds when I'm 30. So I am embarking on a rather large weight loss adventure! I thought why stop there I am going to drop down to a weight I haven't seen in a very long time. My motivation is there, as I have finally hit the spot where I want to lose weight for myself. You can do it! I've now been Fast Food and Soda free for 3 weeks, started a gym and haven't missed a day. I am not sure where my boost of energy has came from but I have a pep in my step and ready to finally do this! 20+ pounds lost so far in 3 weeks!

I also have a kid I'm trying to keep up with. He is one of the most energetic two year olds I've ever seen. He is always saying "chase me daddy!!!! chase!!" and I'll chase him but I wear out so fast. I want to make sure I give myself the best chance to be there for him as long as possible.
