Hey MFP! Looking for new friends on here. I'm a wife & mom. I have two teenagers and a toddler. I work full time and also freelance as a makeup artist on the night and weekends. I'm 5'8" and have lost about 60 lbs by other means and have been using MFP to lose the last 25 of those 60 lbs. I still have another 60+ to lose. I have two herniated discs in my lower back and issues with my SI joint and sometimes find it hard to be consistent with my exercise....I just want to run!!!

Looking for active MFP lady friends for motivation, support or just to chat about daily struggles! :smile:

    Thanks Tootsie! I was on here, left and back again too but I'm not stopping! I want to hit a logging goal more then 5 or 10 days in a row for once lol Encouragement is key and it helps to be accountable - then it's harder to give up....which is NOT an option. :bigsmile:

    You will hit your 50 lb mark! Its a great milestone .. my next one is when I hit ONEDERLAND! I got 28 more lbs to lose to get there ...I hope to get there in this 6 week challenge I'm doing with my online friends.

    We got this!! :heart:

    Hi there! I feel like I am starting again, trying to figure this out lol! I know what I have to do but just can't seem to get it done. I have 2 teenagers as well :) and back/neck issues that keep me from exercising, although I am trying to at least walk most days. Looking for motivation and support , hopefully I can do the same for you!

    Hi Tracie! Once you get on a roll, there's no stopping! You are on here and have lost some so you are taking the steps in the right direction. I hear you about the issues with pain, push through it as long as they aren't debilitating. Walking is a GREAT start! I look forward to sharing this journey with you! xox :happy:

    I totally lapsed this past week....I feel like I need to be more accountable on here. Any ACTIVE MFP peeps want to pester me on a daily basis? :tongue:
