Seeking a weight loss BFF

Hi everyone! I've been on and off mfp for awhile, but I'm back again after giving birth 9 weeks ago. I am in need of some serious support and motivation, and I don't currently have anyone IRL to do that. In using this site before, I realized that its nice to have lots of friends who leave positive comments on my status updates, but I need something different than that. I need someone to message daily, if not more. Someone who is going to be expecting to hear from me and who will be honest and give me a kick in the pants if I need it. In turn, that person can get the same level of accountability from me.

A little bit about me, so that you are interested you can see if we have some things in common:
36 years old
5'2"
181 lbs
Mother of 2 under 2
PCOS
Diagnosed as diabetic, but I'm not medicated for it
Sugar/ chocolate addict!!


Please send me a message if you want to help each other meet our weight loss goals!!
Dawn

    Hey Dawn!! I am so with you.....I need accountability. I'm 37, 180 lbs, and also have PCOS.

    Also my middle name is Dawn...how awesome is that? I just don't have any kids yet, but I'm hoping that if I lose weight and get healthy, I will be able to get pregnant.

    Hi there Dawn!
    Looks like you have lots of volunteers, but I'd love to partner with you, too, if you need more accountability! I'm 39 and I have five children, and although they are all older than yours now, I remember what it felt like to have 2 babies under 2 (my first 2 are 17 months apart). I've got about 40 pounds to lose.
