    Welcome!! Please feel free to add me.

    I :heart: MFP and am always looking for friends to support & be supportive.
  • Hey there - welcome! :flowerforyou:

    You can add me if you want! I'm 29 - 30 this year - and have a 9 year old daughter. I gained all my weight because I drove everywhere, I ate the wrong foods and didn't recognise that to be successful at achieving my goals I have to make changes to my lifestyle rather than do fad diets etc.

    I am here to support and encourage you on your journey.

    Good luck! :happy:
  • Hey there! Good to have you on mfp. I think you'll really enjoy it on here. I'm all about motivatin, support and encouragement along the way. Heck, we are all here for the same reasons, right? Anyway, enjoy the day. I'm sending a friend request now.

    awww thank you everyone! going to add all of you now :)
    a little bit about my whole situation - i work a desk job (yippee) ... i do pretty good during the day i pack a nice little lunch and leave my debit card at home! NOW...after work is where the problem lies! I get so hungry all i want to do is eat, even when im not hungry i am still raiding the cabinet! my boyfriend is a huge motivation but when he leaves for a bit i am right in the kitchen tearing everything up! and i just got a gym membership so i have been working out, but to see no results because of my night time attacks makes it extremely discouraging! :(
    plus ... the weekends appear to kill all my hard work i have done that week when i go out with friends & have a drink, or 2, or 3....

    Like you - I work a desk job and actually eat fairly well at work but the weekends are killer.

    You can do this! I have been at it 6 weeks and it's getting a little easier as I see the pounds come off.

    Feel free to add me! I'm 28, mom of two, and nighttime snacking was a HUGE issue for me. Not the eating at night part (because that isn't necessarily a bad thing), but because I would eat little throughout the day and then gorge myself at night without even thinking about what I was putting in my mouth. Now I try to balance it as much as I can, and those nighttime cravings have really dwindled down to practically nothing.

    You can add me!(: I'm an afternoon snacker. It's bad.
  • You sound like me!! I'm 22 with a 1.5 year old and a 7 month old. I love them dearly but I gained all my weight from the pregnancies, especially since they were so close together. Not only that but I can not resist any sweets that come my way. I've been going to the gym, more regularly now (whenever I can get out that is!!). Trying to watch what I eat and count calories, but sometimes I slip a teeny bit! Oopsies...
    I need to lose about 25 more pounds to be happy. 30-35 would be amazing. Hoping to add yoga and Zumba classes to my fitness routine soon too!
