(I mean no disrespect to my old MFP buddies, but it felt more like FB with them.)

I am looking for a support team. I don't want 50+ friends on here. I am looking for 2 or 3 people to motivate and support me and then I can do the same! I don't expect my MFP buddies to comment on everything I post, but I felt lost in a sea of updates from their hundreds of other friends.

I think we all have struggles in life and sometimes we need a good support system to help bring us back. I have a problem with staying on track and being consistent, but I am working on that every day. I try to eat healthy during the week and have at least 1 cheat day over the weekend. Sometimes my cheat days get out of hand. I am also working on that.

I am 27 and living in Philadelphia, PA with my husband, cat, guinea pig, and 2 frogs. I work as a full time receptionist.

Please friend me if you like.

Thanks!

- Jessica

    Hey, Jessica. support comes in all different ways. I beleive we need to support eachother at all times. I would like to be a support for you. I'm having a hard time with weight loss and have been working at it for many years. I find that when i do well for a week or two, i use food as my reward and end up falling off the wagon again! i'm back at this tracking my foods and I am hopeful that this time it will work. Stay positive. I hope to hear from you soon.

    Thanks Amanda

    Thanks so much, Amanda for your helpful words! I am in the same boat as you and most likely many people! I agree that we should all be here to support one another. Maybe then we can all reach our goals. Not just in weight loss, but in life as well.

    Hey IIb320 -

    I walk at work mostly. I get 2 15 minute breaks and a 1 hour lunch. So, I'll usually walk 30 to 45 minutes during the day. I also love to dance at home. Alone! Lol. I dance for maybe 10 to 25 minutes. I have a set of weights. Just 3 pounds and 5 pounds. I tried the gym thing. It's not for me. I have a million workout videos at home that I do from time to time.
