Im 3 days in and losing but not eating well lol, i need all the support i can get and im here to do the same for others :) im 29 with 4 kids and a back injury that prevents me from doing alot of excersize right now. i have 70 to lose but my first goal is 20 (per doctor) i want to be healthy but i really want to be able to do more with my kids and with all this extra weight my back isnt going to get better. I cant wait to take this journey and make new friends :))

    I also have back/neck issues, so I feel your pain. Getting the extra weight off will help. Just start slow. That's what I've been doing, pacing myself. I'm going back to the gym today. The more I work the easier it gets. :)

    Feel free to add me. I understand about the exercise issues, mine's not my back, however, it's my neck. Best of luck.

    Active-duty Army here, ongoing back/knee problems for a couple years now. Once the weight came off, life got MUCH easier. I'm not quite where I want to be (about 14 lbs to go), but after losing 30 I feel great.

    Definitely go slow. One pound per week isn't hard. Take your time.

    All the weight didn't go on overnight.....it's not going to come off overnight either. Good luck!

It doesn't seem like much, but I've been trying for months now and just not getting anywhere :( Hopefully this site & some added motivation from you guys can give me the push I need to try harder! Add me & we can support each other! Thank you, much love xo

    Hi, I'm new to MPF however, been dieting/exercising since June. I ride bikes and have lost 30 lbs so far. I ride outside whenever possible and also have a recumbent for everyday. I have leg issues so walking / running is not much of an option. Biking is low impact so may help you plus you can get your kids involved. My youngest is still ok with being seen riding with her father so she comes sometimes.
