in Introduce Yourself
Anyone interested in joining me? I had joined MFP about two months ago and lost 10 lbs! The last week I had tried so hard and didn't lose any weight, & I lost interest :( Well, that wasn't a good choice. I'm back with the 10 lbs and then some, I haven't even weighed myself lately but I need to lose at least 40 lbs! The last time I joined I had so many friends that I really didn't feel a deep connection with any of them. I don't want to make that mistake this time, I would like to add maybe 5 people ONLY that are REALLY serious about this, someone that is in the same situation as me: I want to lose 40 lbs, I'm a mom, I work at a desk job and I have a beautiful daughter. I would like a companion to stick by my side through this road - because it's been so very hard for me lately to get the courage to get this done. Today I began eating healthier but I know that if I have a partner in crime then I'd most likely make this a challenge.

I hope I hear from you soon!

    My name is Jessica, my two co-workers and I are doing this. I had joined about 3 months ago and then lost intrest, but have renewed drive. We all sit at a desk, we all have kids and we all are trying to lose 30 pounds or more. We would be happy to welcome u in our group and help. It is hard. We love food! And we also are short on time being Moms and working full time.

    I just started using this website and am already finding it very helpful. I have been a physical therapist for about 2 years and gained about 50lbs mostly from just working and eating (badly) late at night. (I usually get home around 8 or 8:30 at night.) I am also a newly wed and have lost a lot of my confidence that my husband first loved about me. I am setting my goal to lose the 50 lbs I gained and would love to support you as well. If you need to vent I'll hear it. Good luck!

    I know exactly what it is like to have a crazy schedule I have 5 kids, hold down a full time job overnight, and attend college during the day. If you need someone to help when times get tough you can add me as a friend as well. I have about 45 pounds to lose still.

    I am very serious about logging on everyday. I have been on here about 2 1/2 months. I have tried everything else before and never lost. I am down 14 lbs. I am a mom of 2. I do not work but have many medical issues that keep me a stay at home mom. I have made short term goals for my self. my next goal is another 15 and will make another goal after I reach that. I am here for the long haul. You are more than welcome to add me if you would like to.

    I've been here on MFP since February and I am trying to lose like 45-50 pounds myself. I lost 23 so far and it feels great! But it's friggin hard work. IF you wanna compare notes about food/exercise (which I do a TON in the summer) friend me!

    You can get rid of those 50 lbs. ( I'm trying not to say "lose" because to me that implies that you would like to "find" them which I SOOOO don't!) With hard work and (I hate to say it) patience. UGH!

    Be tough and remember slow and steady wins the race!
