Friends needed...losing motivation

Hi All,

Im a 27 year old mother of 3 gained 37lbs because of the last pregnancy. I've tried to commit to a weight loss program but this just seems impossible...especially when I'm home after work preparing their dinner.

I re-started with MFP in January since I fell off the wagon last October and lost 2 lbs a week. But it's getting hard!!! (I'm soo weak).

FRIENDS IN NEED!!

    I'm no longer 27 (WAY past that) but count me in for support because we can all use it no matter what our age or pounds to go status. Being in this for the long haul is sometimes scary because it seems to take too long. I have to keep reminding myself that every pound (or fraction thereof) and inch lost is that much closer to my goal. I haven't reached the 1/2 way point yet, but I am on my way. Hang in there and don't let anyone discourage you!! :love:

    :heart: Hello all, Many times I have tried losing weight and I have placed law over myself of what i can and cannot eat and for the last 2 weeks i began a journey of working out at least 5 times a week at the gym and eating healthier just not saying im not gonna do this or that. I have lost 9 pounds in two weeks and still goin. I am looking for friends and people who want to be motivated and get motivated interested let me know thanks.
  • What an amazing way to look at it . Also , I don't know what your health plan ( I prefer to not say "diet") but for me if i'm craving chocolate i take a small portion with dark chocolate chips and peanut butter. Getting protein , healthy fats in and giving your body a healthier chocolate. Small amount of caffeine in the chocolate which helps boost your metabolism.

    I tend to steer towards eating natural foods that only have 1 or 2 ingredents if possible. I also eat 6 times a day small amounts. No pop water,tea,skim milk,almond milk. Breakfast Breakfast Breakfast so important and its usually oatmeal in a jar with milk,greek yogurt,chia seeds,flax seed,honey,apple sauce and fruit overnight. I drink natural detox of lemon and cucumber with mint leafs that you leave overnight in fridge as well. Chicken Chicken Chicken and sometimes Turkey meat. Lentil beans. I could keep goin lol and yes 100% dark chocolate is very good for you
  • I am new to site and looking for support also, we can do this!!!

    Feel free to add me. I'm a Full Time working mother of 2 young ones (6&3) and I KNOW how hard it is to do it all...work full time and exercise and eat right. I have already lost 35lbs, but just joined this service in an attempt to lose the last 10, which is really really hard.

    I've found that I must spend a lot of time planning and preparing...for instance, i cooked my egg breakfast for tomorrow, tonight.
