Need some myfitnesspals!

I was using this site a few months ago, and stopped even though it was working well to hold me accountable (I lost 15 pounds, but refuse to weigh myself today as I rejoin, but might make my new starting weight tomorrow). I need to reach out to find a small community of people to stay connected on here. I really enjoyed using the website, but because I hadn't gotten enough "real life" friends to join, I didn't feel compelled to log on. I am looking for pals with similar goals to share struggles/success/stories with and to keep me logging on!

I am an almost 30 stay at home mom to two little boys trying to lose the last approximately 40-50 pounds of what I call "baby weight", but is really just weight that I put on that won't go away, being as how my youngest is 18 months old already. I am interested in starting a workout routine, but tend to get side-tracked. I actually love exercising, but it is much more difficult with the extra weight and I tend to get discouraged as I sweat and huff and puff my way through working out. i have never been super thin, and my overall goal is just to be at a healthy and maintainable realistic weight for myself. I would be comfortable in a size 10, rather than the 16/18 i tend to wear now.

So, if you think you have some encouragement to offer, I need some pals!

    I would be happy to be your pal...Doing this can be tough and it is always good to have people to back you up. I have lost 35 pounds in the past few months and still want to lose another 15...So if you want, let me know and we can work on this together

    I'm a mother of three, I work full-time and I do in-home parties on the weekends plus manage a team. I'm a wife of 10 years and we own a home in the country.

    Life is busy and I have to lose 75+ pounds because I want to live a long healthy life with my husband and children. I often get sidetracked and fall off the wagon so I totally get the needing some help and someone to hold me accountable. :)

    Friend request me!

    I am in need of some myfitnesspals too. I am struggling at times to keep on track and stay motivated. I have 6 adopted kids so I am always on the run. I need people to talk to to share successes and struggles with.

    Hey! I can totally relate to where you are coming from. My life is extremely busy between work, school and nieces and nephews so I also get side-tracked easily but I think with great friends on here, we can all do it.

    I've sent you a request. I'm here for you.

    I would love to to be your pal. This is all new to me. Our stories and goals are almost the same. I am 37 with 4 kids, my girls are 16,12,11 and a 2-month old baby boy. I am constantly on the go with little time to spare. My goal is to lose about 40-50 pounds to be in a healthy weight. I need a strong support system to help me through. I have just joined today so I am also in the need of pals:happy: Have a Blessed Weight Loss Day!!!
