Hi, I am a mom of 2 and would love some friends to help me on my weight loss goal...

I have had a very rough last 8 months with my mom being diagnosed with terminal cancer, my grandma passing away, a close friend passing away, and various other odds and ends that have railed me. I didn't think I was an emotional eater, but evidently, my weight gain in the last year says otherwise... :(

I am up to 225 (my heaviest ever) and I feel it! I'd like to get down to 200 as my first mini goal before trying for another baby. All in all, I'd like to lose 60 lbs.

I would love to buddy up with some folks so we can encourage and support each other...

TIA

    I'm Tiana, also a mother of 2 (both girls 10 & 4). I have let my weight get the best of me and am ready for this journey to a healthier lifestyle. Feel free to add me so we can support each other in meeting out goals!

    Best of luck in your journey!!

    I am a mom of 2 as well and have the same "mini goal" as well. Today is the day I was going to get more serious about this, since we would like to have more kids as well and that just isn't going to happen until I take some of this weight off! Feel free to add me as a friend. I could use some extra buddies on here to help me stay motivated and stick with it. :)

    Welcome!

    First, I'm very sorry to hear about your mom, grandma, and best friend! It must be very difficult!

    I'm also new here and a mother of three (15, 13, and 9) and have found amazing support here so far!

    Friend request sent and good luck to you :)
