Not new, but need motivating friends please.

I am not new, but I am looking for some motivating friends. I have battled with weight loss for some time now. I am a mother of 2, and a stay at home mom. I am looking for creative ways to lose weight while I am at home watching my children. I am looking for friends that will help motivate me, that I can help motivate in return.

I live in an area where I have no friends or family near by. My husband is a truck driver and is gone all of the time, I only see him a few times a month. So all of that combined makes it difficult for me at times.

My self esteem isn't exactly all that great, and I would really like to change that this coming New Year. So please if you would like a friend please request me. <3

    I dont have anyone to help with my motivation either so its always good to find others that need a support group.

  • I live in an area where I don't have many friends either :) (I'm a pretty quiet person though, so that suits me fine! And I do get to see people fairly often)

    I'll send you an add :)

    Thank you all. My husband is hardly ever home so it can be hard staying motivated. I just need an extra push every now and then. My social life is my two children age 2 and 5 haha.

    Hi. I am a stay at home mom to a 17 month old. It is hard to take care of yourself when you are responsible for children and a household. You can do it! I am sending you a friend request.

  • Hi Supermama, I'm a mom of a 2 year old (and one on the way)....I'm also a Beachbody coach, as my husband and I've had much success with the programs in the past. Have you ever seen the infomercials for Turbofire, Brazilian Butt Lift, Hip Hop Abs? They are all great videos for women. We also run online support groups to keep us all accountable/motivated and share nutrition/physical tips. We actually just had several members today discuss how they use fitness pal along with the video to achieve their goals. We are filling up our January group, so if you are interested, feel free to send me a friend request. MeaganFitbod.
  • Feel free to add me--- anyone can. I am back at it again after the holidays. I would love to help encourage you and get some support in return. I have a 3 year old daughter and really want to get healthy for her and be good role model. I have also tried every diet gimmick under the sun

    Adding you. I am looking for motivation. And accountability :)
  • I've been on here about 6 months and am just getting into the whole "getting friends" thing. Feel free to add me as a friend. I'm always on here providing motivation and support.
  • I'll add you, I have 2 girls, a 4yr old and a 3 month old, really need motivation and friends to chat about results etc. instead of baby talking to a baby. Haha
