I'm looking for a buddy :)

I'm 26 (almost 27!) and always looking for new buddies as well! I'm a single momma of 3 boys, work full time and go to school full time so I definitely know the advantages of having a good buddy to encourage when days are tough! I have a huge amount to lose, I'm hoping for 80 lbs. I'm down 16 so far. Feel free to add me!

Hi I don't doubt you'll be able to reach your target if you keep yourself motivated and stay on track. I've lost 35pounds since June...and if honest the past month and a bit I've been eating what I wanted and didn't record my food....but by some freak of nature I've managed not to put any weight on....also didn't lose any more weight. Back on it now after having Christmas and New Years and looking to lose another 40lb or so...

I have terrible will power when it comes to food and could easily devour a packet of biscuits without even realizing it - so if I can do it...anyone can...including you!

I found the key for me was to see it as a challenge/game if you will to keep to the calorie goal on the app and not go over/under it....as a result of doing this diet so far I've gone from a large 18 to just embarking on size 14's... couldn't be happier for my progress so far...I've also found that my tastes have changed too and I'm eating foods I've not eaten since a child (which I thought I disliked) and am eating a lot healthier then I have in years...it's definitely about having a positive mental attitude and improving your lifestyle. In the evenings I find that if I get peckish a bike ride or walk for half an hour followed by a pint of water and then bed usually makes me forget about food.

I'm waffling now...apologies...good luck and don't give in. You owe it to yourself to be strong. x
