Good Morning!

I would like to find someone who is interested in sharing weight loss tips etc....I think it is motivating to have someone to do this with. I started last week and am down 5 pounds as of this morning. I feel motivated to continue on for next week and for a lifetime.

I am a stay-at-home Mom to two boys, almost 7 and 1.

Let me know if you would like to join me in this journey!

    I have been on MFP for 3 months, starting my 4th. It's the best decision I have made in many years. I have lost weight with diets many times before, but it was never a lifestyle change. This time is different; it's a lifestyle change, not a diet. Good luck on your weight loss journey. Please feel free to add me as a friend; we can help motivate each other.

    Hi. What part of Maryland are you in? I'm in the Baltimore area (supposedly the big city). I started trying to lose 20, finally am getting it down to those last stupid 5 lb. You'll do great!

    Hi I am a mom … 42 in Nebraska working to get rid of a lot of pounds. I enjoy this site because it is so simple and has all the basic information I used to track by hand. I work outside the house with two kids and would love to share and learn tips on how to make this journey successful.

    Losing five pounds the first week is a wonderful start. If you want to add me to your friends list that would be great. Take care and hang in there!

    Hello

    Well done on your great weight loss :) I have my first weigh in on Thursday and I doubt if I will lose that much but any would be great! I have two daughters aged 5 and 9 and work ful-time. I have never been happy with my weight but this year I have put on over a stone in just a few months, so finding this website has been such a bonus to me. I have really enjoyed logging and hope this feeling continues!!

    I will add you as a friend - good luck :)

    Hi--welcome! I'm a mom to an almost-6-year-old, and in Vermont.Congrats on starting and losing weight so quickly! I have lost weight with MFP over the last year but have been attempting to maintain for the last 4 months or so....something I find just as hard as losing. You can definitely do it! I went from low-carb type eating to the healthy lifestyle of keeping track of calories and find it very liberating. I loved adding back a "certain amount" of pasta, breads, english muffins, rice, etc...to my diet and feeling ok about it as long as it adds up to my calorie goals. It really works. Feel free to add me too and good luck!!

    Well done on your 5lbs down! I have a similar amount to lose, and just one month in. I'd be really happy to be one of your buddies. Good luck!

    Congrats on the 5 lbs.! I also have 2 boys and am a few years older than you (47). I truly thought I would never lose another lb. in my life-that my metabolism had hit that age slowdown and I was doomed. Then I found the app for my phone and loved how easy it was to use. My first 2 weeks were pretty slow but I've now lost 9 lbs. officially. Feel free to friend me-us mom's have to stick together in this!

    I am sorry it took me so long to reply!
    I have lost the weight I wanted to, but have 5lbs that like to come and go, so I am still working on it.
    I am also trying to get toned. I would be happy to maintain my weight if I could lose a few more inches.
    But, my health/fitness journey is ongoing, so support and motivation is ALWAYS welcome!

    Hello from Southern Maryland (near Solomons Island)! I have been here since the end of July and have lost 30+ so far, I have 75-100 to go. MFP is great! Lots of helpful supportive people. Great recipe ideas, many different types of lifestyles, tons of opinions and all willing to share. Good luck on your journey!
