Starting Over....Need Some Buddies!

in Introduce Yourself
I was on MFP for a long time and I lost 60 pounds and then gained about half of it back. I was really struggling with getting back on track, and then I just decided to start over with everything, clean slate. So, I deleted my original MFP profile and created this one. It has helped my mind set, in some strange way, but now I am in need of new friends.

A little about me....I am a 32 year old single mom to one 7 year old girl. :) I started my journey at the beginning of 2012, weighing 332 pounds. I swore to myself I would never see that "300" number ever again, but I started getting lazy in the fall, and guess what? I saw that 300 number again. Currently I weigh 305 and I cannot wait to get back under that dreaded mark once again, this time, hopefully for good!

Please add me if you have lots of weight to lose, a little weight to lose, whatever. If you know the struggle that losing weight is, and struggling to keep that lifestyle, even when life is getting crazy (I added a full time college schedule last fall and while I was doing great at that....I slipped here)

Yay for new friends and a fresh start!

    Good Morning,
    I have a way to go too! I have been on here for 35 days and have noticed much improvement! My goal is to lose about 60-70 lbs.I am positive that I will make it.I am not actually dieting but, I track every single thing I eat ..I have learned what I can eat and not eat without going over my daily allowance.It has worked!! I have lost but,not sure exactly how much.I will not be a slave to the scales this time.The weight will fluctuate at first and I dont want to get discouraged like I did non my last attempts.Take care and take it slow.You will succeed and make you goals!!! Good luck to you and feel free to accept my friend request.
    Have a Geat Day!

    hi I need friends on this so that I do not think I am alone in the crazy weight loss program. I have only been on MFP for a week and have not figured out how to do the friend thing yet. I am happy for your new start it gives a new fresh beginning that helps a lot.
    Little about me. I weigh 195 and do not want to reach the 200 I have tried for 6 years to get back to my pre pregnancy weight and have not been successful. I think that keeping track of what I eat will get me there.

    Hi! I'm starting anew as well, I'm 49 and my weight loss goal is to lose 60lbs. I'm also in need of friends for support. I'm an emotional eater and have begun to face that reality head on. I've found that with support I do so much better, I will help you on your journey if you help me on mine:) looking forward to losing this weight with a friend with the same goals.
