Hi all!
I've been trying to lose my baby weight for about... 18 months. Clearly, I am doing something wrong. (and that wrong is called "chocolate binge eating") ;-) Still have about 35-40 lbs to go. I'm looking for some positive friends to help make this weight loss "journey" a little more fun instead of me going crazy due to chocolate withdrawals. So, if you're awesome, we should be friends. :-)

Hi Jan, I am Tan and I have started this weight loss journey because I want to healthier and live a long exciting life with my family. I would like to have a partner who is committed and will help me stay motivated. My problem is staying consistent. So maybe we can help each other. I just finished a 34 mins work out. I feel great!!!!! Have a pleasant day.0

Hi! I have an 18 month old too! I need to lose the baby weight and then some. I joined a while ago, but have really started to buckle down and get serious the past week.0

I think you all are AWESOME! We can all do this!
.....I may be over-motivational, but I think I can help
Add me if you'd like! Have an amazing day!

All of you ladies have just made my day! Having friends that are dieting as well makes this whole challenge a little less daunting.
I am a pretty active person, (I have two little ones 3.5 year old and an 18 month old) , so I spend most of my days chasing them around. I also am addicted to running. I am doing a half marathon in 3 weeks and am PUMPED! I used to loathe running, so the fact that I now can load up my kids in the double jogger and do 5-8 miles whenever, is exciting for me.
My biggest issue is eating. I LOVE eating. I call myself a garbage disposal because I will pretty much eat anything that passes me by. I am looking to change this. I have a serious addiction to sweets, mainly chocolate, but anything with sugar I'm a sucker for. No pun intended. ;-) I also adore chips, cheese & crackers, bread... If it's high in carbs, sugar, or fat, I love it. Do any of you ladies have any special tricks for getting through the first week? Once I get started (past 7 days or so) I stop craving the junky stuff, but it's those first few days that KILL me! I'm so irritable and my poor husband gets the brunt of my mood swings. Any feedback would be fantastic! You are ALL awesome!!!0 -
im working my baby weight off too, hah have been for 18 months as well. I have 30-40 Lbs to lose as well! good luck on your journey0

Chocolate is my problem too!!! Add me!0

Add me too...I have been on Weight watchers on and off for the past few years and my weight has actually crept up and up....I have about 35 pounds to lose, and am looking for motivation and support too.
Also am in the Couch to 5K running program week 7...Hoping to do a 5k this spring, but am only running 2.25 miles right now.
Lets all be awsome friends :-)...Teri0 -
I'm awesome! ; P0
-
I'm pretty freakin' awesome, but I have a nasty sense of humor. If you can handle that go ahead and add me!!!!0
-
I am eating White Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt right now.. that is pretty AWESOME!0
-
Yeah I'm pretty awesome!
I'm not getting over baby weight but just the weight put on over my student years and a blissfully (sickeningly) happy 3 years with my partner - you know how they say you put weight on when you're happy? It turns out it's true!!
I'm aiming to lose 50lbs, to get down to 134lbs. Feel free to add me, we can help each other reach our goal!
Edit - my vices are chocolate, biscuits (cookies) and bread! I have honeslty thought I was addicted to chocolate in the past! Withdrawal symptoms are very real!!0 -

I find sugar free gum helps with my cravings for sugar. it at least gives my gob something to do whilst talking myself out of eating more.0

OK!!
:laugh:
I am still working on baby weight and my youngest is almost 6.0 -
I'm an awesome friend, so send me a request if you like I am pretty consistent on here and an encourager.0
-
it is hard to lose the baby fat, BUT if you do not move it,,, YOU WILL NOT LOSE IT!, so get yourself motivated, and YOU GO!@, YOU CAN DO IT!0
-
My least favourite word is awesome. Rather than a swear box at work, I have an "awesome" box. I am officially not awesome :smokin:0
-
I like to think I'm a little awesome! I don't have any baby weight, because I've not yet had a baby. But I'm slimming down to get in good enough shape to start trying for one (and hopefully not have such a hard journey shifting the baby weight once baby has been born)
Feel free to add me though, could do with more motivational friends myself as well!0 -
I the topic name, therefore we must be friends. :laugh: Request sent!0
-
I love chocolate! I've been trying to work on that, but sometimes it just doesn't work! :P I'd love to be friends!0
