Need some motivation

Bethhurst

I'm a 38-yr-old mom of 2 (and wife of 1, ). After trying on some of last summer's pants and discovering that I can't zip them, I decided to give this a go again. I've done calorie tracking before (calorie king) and it's always been motivating for me. I'm an accountant, so I like to 'track' things anyway. I'd love to get back to my pre-mommy weight of about 120 - 130. 120 may be on the low side, but I know I can get to 130 and be healthy. So, that's about 15 lbs away (after losing 4 pounds last week).

I also travel one day a week and have found it difficult to resist the eating temptations when my company is paying for those meals.

Would love to have some more like-minded friends on here to keep each other motivated.

Good Morning! We can all use some motivation and incentive to meet our goals! Feel free to add me if you would like!

I'm a similar age (37), similar family (2 boys and a husband), and have a similar target (GW is 125) - and I have clothes that won't fasten too!!

The only difference is I don't have a "paid" job, but I did have until 18 mos ago. I chose to quit because it wasn't really financially worthwhile, but I do remember the rare occasions when I got a meal on expenses - very tempting to blow the budget, money and calorie wise! When I was seriously "dieting" I would treat myself to a huge salad with a little bit of everything (well, everything I eat!) - but it's difficult to enjoy that when everyone else is having fried food and cream cakes!

Every journey begins with a single step - and you've taken that first step, so if you want a companion on the journey, feel free to add me as a friend.
