Returning MFP User & Looking for Motivating Friends :)

I am looking for motivating friends for my weight loss journey :) I have been up and down with my weight for 3 1/2 years now since I had my second son. I can't seem to get my weight under control and commit to making myself healthy again. I have severe body image issues and it is causing me to put my life on hold. I am ready to change and I need to change. For me and for my family.

    Hi there! I can totally relate to putting life on hold. I shy away from going out because of my weight. I'm determined to get myself healthy....we can support each other!

    Hi Christy,

    Welcome back! I am on here every day logging and chatting and am always trying to help support and motivate my amazing fitness pal friends! I have sent you a friend request!
  • You can add me!! Im on everyday and just gave birth to my first baby about a month ago. Shes my main motivation.
  • Hello! I am looking to lose 100 lbs myself. I can't seem to get my weight under control...mainly because I have no control over my weight. I was kind of kicked into the direction of making this weight loss journey real when I got a sales pitch from an old co-worker for an exercise video. I have the knowledge to be able to do this and I have the guts to keep at it...I quit smoking six years ago..so I can pretty much have the will power to do almost anything!

    I understand the body image issues my youngest child is almost 4 and two weeks ago I went swimming with my family for the very first time because I didn't want people to see me without a shirt. Another 60 pounds or so to go so I'll be around for quite a while if you're looking for support or healthy recipe ideas feel free to add me
  • I totally understand where you are coming from. Since Ive gained almost 100 lbs I don't want to go anywhere and haven't stayed in touch with old friends because I am really embarrassed about letting myself go. I am lucky that I have my family and husband but they don't understand how hard it is. I am in need of support too and I will be supportive as well.
