Looking for some new friends to motivate each other!

Hello everyone! I am a single mother of 3 girls, attending college FT, and work PT. I am looking to make some friends to help motivate me to drop some pounds! I need to lose 52 pounds, and I would like to reach that goal by summer 2013. Not only would I like some friends to motivate me, but I can motivate as well!

    That's great! I also want to lose about 50 lbs and I need support, too. You can add me as a friend.
  • Hi there. :) I am in the same spot as you. I'd also like to lose 52 lbs by next summer! How crazy is it that we have the same goals? :) I became a new mom this summer (1st time mom) -- and I've never been so out of shape. My body has just felt weak and BLAH since becoming a mom. I love being a mom, and it has really made me see how important it is that I take better care of myself. I want to get back in shape, be healthy, feel strong, and be a good role model. I feel like I need some motivation as well -- and am willing to give it too.

    I need to lose about 50 lbs as well. I've been on and off the MFP wagon. It's time to get back on and get into shape. I'd love to see it off by the summer as well.

    Hello all, I have had this app for a while, now I need to get serious about my fitness and weight loss. I am currently 271 lbs and have a goal of 225 lbs by April 15th of 2013. I was close to this goal before, but lost my way so now I need to jump in with both feet!

    I would like to ad you. I will say though, you might find it overwhelming getting friend requests only to find out that they are not the half bit interested in your health, but seemingly only your personal life, at least I'm starting to come to grips with this. They might even take up your whole "newsfeed" and make it harder for you to try and keeep track with the people who actually keep up with you and all that your doing to live a healthier life. My problem is, these people on my list are woman, so it makes it a lot harder (not impossible at all) to break it to them that this" friendship" isn't working out. If your interested in someone who will give you some kind of comment on your food diary and when you exercise, and other stuff as well, feel free to friend request me. If you don't plan on it, and just want some new friends, the best of luck to you.
