in Introduce Yourself
I have been on this journey so long but I lost my way for about 4 months. I need new people to keep me going and to read about new people. I am a mom to 7 kids from 14 yrs old to 2 yrs. I am also a part-time fitness/weight loss writer. I have lost from 287 to 190 now. I have about 50 or so left:)

    i am in the same boat. Three years ago i lost 50 lbs and was in a swim suit feeling great... i have put on 65lbs since then after some family issues and losing my job (not that im blaming it on that but i am def an emotional eater) anyway.. I NEED to lose 50 lbs to feel comfortable in my skin again and having friends on here to keep you motivated and encouraged to keep loggin in and tracking the food and working out.. its helped me so much in just the past two days I have pushed myself farther than i have in a while.. i am looking forward to saying that i kept up the strength for months and months to come..

    please anyone feel free to friend me. :)

    I have lost my way several times...it is so easy to let kids be an excuse not to be healthy when they should be the reason to be. I'm a single mom of two that works and goes to school, and sometimes it would just be easier to let it go. But, we all know how that goes :) Feel free to add me if you would like, that goes for anyone.

    I'm with you girl! It's a heck of a wagon to fall off, the health one that is! They could make this health wagon thing a little easier to climb back up on, right!

    Feel free to add me. I have about as much to lose at this point as you do. I joined 150 days ago and have logged every bite ever since.

    I've been the same way for the past three months. Logged but struggled. Just completed day four of getting back on track! So far so good! Anyone feel free to add me! Can use more support!

    You may have lost your way for awhile but feel good that you found your way back! Ok, can we chat about the 7 kid thing??? Congrats on that feat alone. I have three and I feel overwhelmed at times. You have achieved amazing results already in regards to your weight. We can all cheer you on. I was doing awesome until about a year ago...started school again and then my dad was diagnosed pancreatic cancer. I have taken this summer off to just get "me" back on track! WE CAN DO THIS!!

    I was up to 500 days logging and got discouraged and gained half of my weight back.

    Hello!!

    i'm monique and I can totally relate! I don't have kids, but I have lost my way and got to get back on course before I gain all of my weight back. I was 260, was down to 198 and today back up to 215. My goal weight is about 185, so I can do it if I put myself first!

    Hi! I'm recommitting today! I had a lot of success on here before, then thought I could maintain it on my own (big mistake!). I regained all the weight back, plus 2 extra lbs. I'm at my heaviest and I'm 100% serious about losing the weight for good this time. Feel free to add me. I'd love to have friends on here for mutual support as we embrace this weight loss journey!
