In need of friends

Feel free to add me, that goes for anyone! It's great to see what others are doing in the way of exercise and eating habbits, keeps me focussed on reaching my goal!

Oh Geez. Seriously, add us all. There is always some of us on here at any given time and we love to talk.

Hey, feel free to add me. I have been single for over 20 years now and loving it. I read something that changed the way I think a couple of years ago and it changed my life. DONT WAIT FOR THE STORM TO PASS - LEARN TO DANCE IN THE RAIN! I had been waiting and waiting for most things including starting to lose wait - always I'll start "tomorrow" but now I live for today and MFP is working well for me and I'm sure it will for you too. It's a slow process but I'm getting there. (my goal is christmas too) I was 15 stone when I started this journey and my goal weight is 10.5 st. ( 1.5 down 3 to go.) I always dreamt of getting married and honeymooning in st lucia. This was the start of my ' dancing inthe rain' and went there with my kids instead. It was brilliant! Since then we have been all over the place and going to Barbados at the end of the month. so don't sit there eating and dreaming of the things you would do if only....instead get yourself a planner and plan the things you WILL do. Being single has many good points you just need to find them and enjoy them.

Feel free to add me!

you can add me if you like
I can help.

I've got no friends either, and evenings are my downfall too.

Please add me also. We'll fight those bad evening binges together!!

feel free to add me..

Hello.....I REALLY need some help!

I'm back after a spell of putting it all back on.... but i have a new goal for Christmas and new inspiration in the form of fit Olympians bouncing about all over the media!

I know what to do with food and exercise....i just crumble at the first glass of wine or high calorie "treat." I am 32, a single parent,...just miserably single actually. I find the evenings tough.... when the tv is boring, there is no one to talk to, the cupboards are full and the chiddler is in bed meaning i can't leave the house. Thats when i eat..., and eat and eat. Its all emotional, but standing up and declaring that out loud doesn't do anything to stop it.

I really could use some friends who will be tough on me, make me accountable, support me when i'm feeling like i can't keep it up. I can be very supportive in return, i won't be tough back, just sympathetic and a voice of reason.

Im also a single parent and know the feeling. . . seeing all the gorgeous bodies everywhere really gives you motivation. . . you just have to keep in mind that to look like that u cant give in to those high calorie snacks. . or your just taking 3 steps back instead of taking a huge lunge forward. YOU control your body, not the other way around - a very wise female i have as a friend on here told me that and shes right. you are what you make of yourself and sitting around talking isnt going to make results. . push yourself. . have other push you and you'll once again be happy

You can add me as a friend too. I am a single mom also and eat when i am bored too. We are all on this site to improve ourselves, and the more support we can get the better. Bonny

hey I could use some friends as well so feel free to add me... support is a big deal here I see that I've been coming on for 5 days straight now I have 2 friends are my friends so far what is a very good because I who would have to meaningful friendship then a whole bunch of ppl in m my page and we don't encourage or chat..

Im new to this site and would love to be added to your list. It seems we all can relate to the same issues.
Hang in there

Feel free to add me, too! I'm also a singleton of two that battles the emotional eating. I'm here for anyone who wants and needs it!

Feel free to add me if you wish!!

Just to let you know...I've been there. I had my daughter at 23, her dad walked out on me when he found out I was pregnant. I started eating then, and gained over 70 pounds during my pregnancy. I have never lost it. I have yo-yo'd around for the past 15 or so years. I know what it's like to be sitting around all evening with nothing really productive to do, except eat.

One suggestion is find a hobby you can do at home. One thing I used to do was photo albums. I started with Creative Memories and began working on my daughter's album when she was 5. That used to take a lot of time in the evenings. As long as I left the photos and tools out on my dining room table, I would continue to work on them.

I'm sure there are many other things that could keep your hands busy, but that was one I used. Now, I work evenings, my daughter is in college, and I have to get back on the "busy hands not eating hands" band wagon. I'm lucky now...I've been married 3 years, and my husband is taking this journey with me
