edited September 2024 in Motivation and Support
So I have been on mfp for a few months now and I am having to start over on my exercise and "diet" regimen. I started a group on a website for moms called babycenter.com. But it is an epic fail in my mind because it is hard to get people to stay motivated and motivate each other!

So I am looking for some buddies on here to keep each other accountable and motivate one another. I have about 65 more pounds I want to lose and I am a big believer that the more people you have supporting you...the better. So I will be working out and watching what I eat more closely starting tomorrow! Anyone want to start a challenge with me?

    Me 2, I need realiable buddies to assist in my journey anyone with 50+ pounds to lose, that would help.. I have 82 lbs to lose. The more I look at the number, it looks like its gonna take forever to get there. But I refuse to give up. No offense to anyone who just needs to lose 10 lbs, congrats to you but I can't relate to the skinny minis just yet LOL jk :)

    I have a very long way to go and I'm super motivated! I'm with you on needing a good group to keep me motivated! I'm doing kickboxing 3 days a week and just got a treadmill and bike for home too! I have no more excuses!

    Hey!!! You can add me and you can count on me. I need about 50 to 55 pounds to lose. It is very important for me to lose weight because I have a serious back issue, and I cannot take the pain anymore. I need to lose the weight and build back and ab muscles to help my back. I also want to look good for my husband, so we can be how we used to be three years ago when I was 110 pounds...I would love to make my husband crazy!!!LOL I am currently at 165 pounds and I would like to lose at least 10 pounds by Christmas...Another 10 pounds by Valentine's Day, and another 10 pounds by my husband's birthday April 14th...At the end, I would like to lose 50 pounds by July 3rd...it is our 6th year wedding anniversary.

    Hey! You can add me. Tomorrow is my 1 week-iversary getting back on mfp, and I'm feeling the same way as you-- The more friends, the more support, the better! Getting on the website and reading blogs and message boards and stuff is what I do at home when I feel like I'm loosing focus so I'm on a lot, haha.
