Trying again! I need friends to motivate me!

twinbabymama

Hello! My name is Sarah. I was never overweight until I had children. I've never lost the weight after I had them. I have 2 girls that are 9 & 11 and I have twin boys who are 3 1/2. I am looking to lose around 60 pounds. I've dieted in the past and been successfull, but then I get bored and go back to eating poorly and not exercising and end up gaining it back. This time I want to stay motivated and I think having friends can definately help with that!

I know the feeling and frustration!!! I lost 30 pounds last year on Nutrisystem and then went right back to my old bad habits and guess what...I gained it all back. So now with Myfitnesspal I am retraining myself to make good choices - eat healthy foods and really stick to a lifestyle change and not a temporary fix or diet.

Good luck - We will be cheering you on!!!

Hi Sarah,

I have been on MFP since July, 2010. It's the best decision I ever made. It's helped me lose and maintain an 87 pound loss. Now I am trying to lose the last 20 or so. Feel free to friend me, it's always nice to have new weight loss buddies.

Good luck

Hey Sarah, feel free to friend me. I'm looking for friends here too!

I lost 30 lbs in 2010 before getting pregnant with my son. I've lost 8 lbs & have 42 to go before reaching my goal. I'd love to hit that goal before the end of the year. Looking forward to encouraging you & getting to know you!
