I am 26 years old. When I started My Fitness Pal I was 203 pounds. I lost weight, but I wasn't doing it the right way, so I gained it all back. Now I am trying again, but the right way. I am a full time mom and I work a full time sit down job. I get very discouraged pretty much every day and I feel like I am seriously going to explode! :explode: I am going to be trying harder and doing things the right way.

I am looking for friends on here for support as I haven't made any effort before. I will be there for support for anyone who needs it and I, of course am looking for friends who will give me the push I need. If I am losing focus by missing logging or anything, I need someone to send me a msg to give me some sort of boost. If I am doing something unhealthy/unsafe with my challenges - I want someone who will speak up. I am like most people and love to hear encouragement or praise when I need it. lol

I am open to tips and I will do my best to be supportive and helpful to anyone who needs it! :happy:

    I hear you. I work full time in a desk job. Commute to the city - sitting on the train. I'm sitting on my butt all day.
    BUT I do walk to and from the train station say 40 minutes a day, and now thinking about getting off at the station before to get some extra walking in. It's hard when I constantly juggle time for my 13yo - it's the life of a single mum. Stick with it, hang in there and take one day at a time. You can do it!
