Looking for friends and support

Hi everyone! I'd like to make some friends on here and develop a support system. I'm tired of gaining and losing the same 5 lbs and would like to lose 20 lbs for good. I just joined a new gym (crunch) and am hoping between that and MFP (and new friends with similar goals) that I can finally reach and maintain a healthy weight.

Looking to share tips on convenient/healthy meals and snacks, effective/time-saving workouts and ups and downs! My day is 12 hours door to door, so convenience is key!

Thanks!

Jess

  • Well... I've just had a baby and am in a similar position (got no time for me) I try and go for a walk every day, I've cut out all the bad food even CHOCOLATE!!! Not quite haha (I've switched to dark choc) I've put on a load of weight from pregnancy trying to lose it and get back to old me!!!

    I do know that chicken and protein is your best bet for meals... But it does get v boring when I can't think of any meals that are healthy...

    Cheers

    You can add me as well. I have more to lose-65lbs, but I'm looking for support too. I had a baby almost 6 months ago, and lost the baby weight, but put it back on. I only gained about 15lbs while pregnant, so I can't blame the baby! Lol

    I work full time and am a full time single mom so yes convenience and efficiency is of the essence. I have about 20 more pounds to loose. I have already lost 10 and have found ways to start working out again. I am from California. Feel free to add me as a friend.
