Hi. I'm looking for additional motivation. I once lost over 100lbs & kept it off for years. Having a community board like this helped. I'm not sure this is the same tho. We had regulars, weekly weigh ins, daily conversations about food, life, stress & exercise. I don't need to lose 100lbs this time but 50 would be awesome and eventually maybe closer to 80. Lately, I catch myself consciously lashing out w my eating for my stresses or my lack of support. I really need to get a grip. I know I can do this. I just can't seem to getit through my head to stop. I am a 34 yo mom to aan 18 month old girl. I run a daycare out of my home. I have been exercising pretty regularly 3-5 times a week, 20-60 minutes a day.

Hope to meet some folks with the same issues!

    PS Nan - i've seen some folks on here post in the "looking to add friends on here" type posts. I bet you could pick up some more folks that way. The more people giving positive feedback to each other the better :)

    Feel free to add me, as well. I often struggle with keeping my eating within reasonable bounds and often give into stress or emotional eating. In fact, I'm battling with the desire to go eat the leftover pizza that someone left in the break room at work right now, even though I just ate lunch!

    Hi. I've only been a member for a couple of weeks but it would be great to share support and motivation. I've got quite a bit to lose and have a fourteen month old and a two and half year old. Please feel free to add me x:smile:

    Hi There! Hey I would love to be able to have friends on here to help motivate. I have one friend and we're doing this together but the more the better. I have 40 lbs to lose. The past 3 years I've had 6 surgeries and I've packed on the extra weight. I'm one who loves to exercise so I've started back doing that. I'm 53 years old and have a lot of stress in my life right now. I'm a stress and bored eater which aren't good.
