Hi! I'm Jody. I just joined MyFitnessPal today and am looking for others who are on their weight loss journey. I live in Iowa, a single mom of two very busy girls and have about 30 pounds to lose. I'd love to hear from you! :smile:

    Hi Jody Welcome, I've been a member since about Memorial weekend. So far down 13 pounds. MFP made if very easy by tracking what I was eating and the most important thing MOVING!! Single mom here too, yes it hard to balance the kids and find time for you but it's a must. I have a teenage son 14 who of course knows everything. I have about another 20 pounds I'd like to shed. I could always use the support and encouragement. Guys Feel free to add me. Gett'n healty in NJ....... Good Luck!!

    Hi Jody, I'm John and my wife Janine is also on here. We just recently started theis program and we find that at times its hard to stay within our calories. But we keep on trying. We have made it a compatition between her and I to see who can keep the calories in the green and who can get the most off for exercise. We both need to lose some weight. Hope you have great sucess we will be cheering for you.

    John

    Joined a while ago, but just now started taking it seriously. I have 4 (almost 5) kids. Married to a wonderful person who is supporting me on this. I have about 50 pounds to lose. We can all do it together!

    My WIfe and I have found these meals in a bag like savory chicken and rice. The cook in about 20 minutes and are very fill ing. also we make our our chicken salad for sandwiches at work. Home made you can check your calories. If you eat out try a chef salad with light dressing and little cheese.

    Welcome, I'm here, again...and am also a single mother to a very busy 15 year old daughter. I'm working on portion control, limit drinks, and hitting the gym at least 5 days a week.
    Please feel free to add me and we can work on this together!
    I'm on here a few times a day and also have my iPhone with the free app that I'm able to see certain things.
    Have a super day!!
