Started January 1st and need some support

melbo5

Hi everyone,
I am a master's student with a 2 year old and a husband....and all the stress and complications....I have been working out 5 times a week in the morning before everyone else in my house gets up. Currently I am doing Biggest Loser power walk and also some time on the treadmill. My diet for the most part is spot on. I have been making healthy lunches and cooking dinner regularly. I am looking for some support because I feel like my husband doesn't understand my struggle and all my friends are naturally skinny. I am motivated but occasionally like to hear others have some same issues as I do.....

Just keep it up! All it takes is time and pressure.

Feel free to add me!

I would love to help you out. I am also working on my M.S. with a husband that is 6'2 and 190 pounds. He's supportive but I don't think people who have never had a weigh problem can ever fully understand.

I too started up again on Jan 1st and have only lost 6 lbs so far. It gets frustrating but I'm determined to succeed this time.

I will add you as a friend so we can help motivate each other!

Hello,

I would love to support you. I work fulltime, 2 kids and husband, and taking 3 classes this semester for college. So I know how crazy life can get and is. My weight loss is also slow, but I keep plugging away at it. I started my commitment on January 2nd to get this weight off. Right now a back injury has me taking it easy. And boy can I now say.. that I miss exercising.
Keep up your great work.

I know how you feel my husband is 6'2" and 160 lbs. He can eat whatever he wants but as soon as I eat one Big Mac I gain five lbs! Feel free to add me as a friend I can certainly use it.

I'm 20 years old. I've tried dieting / losing weight before but I always caved in after a few days. I realized that you have to really want it. and with that, you can succeed :] I started at 160 and actually dropped to 156. sadly, i'm at 159. but, i will not quit. just have to buckle down :] I need friends on here !!! My goal weight for my height and age is 130 (it's the ideal / healthy weight). :] :] Let's do this !

WELCOME! Just finishing my master's here and teaching and coaching and doing my internship. Yay for multi-tasking girls! Not to mention I totally know what you are saying about sometimes feeling like people around you don't "get" your struggle. Let's all support each other. Add away, new friends :happy:

WELCOME!! You're more than welcome to add me. My hubby was not too supportive at first, but he's trying to accommodate my needs, as he is not interested in losing weight & getting healthy at this time. I look to my MFP family to get 90% of my support & motivation. I give as much as I get AND more. It's hard to do it alone & we all need someone to lean on for encouragement :happy:

Good luck to you in your journey!

its not easy to control the craving of food ... but think about something or someone makes you smile.. think about the time u can spend if u can control now . that's what keeps me going.. hang in there and have faith in you and think about the happy face of your loved one/s.
