Hi Guys!!!

Looking for friends to just chit chat with and share recipes, ideas and motivation! I lost 58lbs my first time on Myfitnesspal, I know how to count calories, weigh food and find low cal GREAT recipes online. I need help getting started this time.

This is my third week TRYING to start but something always temps me and I fall off the wagon. Last time I was like a drill sergent.. No amount of ben and jerry could tempt me.. now food is looking so good.

Quick back ground.. the first time my goal was clear.. I lost weight to help my chances of having a baby since weight was a concern. Then BOOM I got preggo.. gained 50 of the 58 i lost.. the first week after the baby I lost 25lb but still was devastated to see how much I weighed.. always been a big girl. Now after the holidays im scared to weigh myself. I get so depressed to see if im in my mid 2's.. Hoping to hit diet hard for a week or two then weigh myself and start counting loss. I know its silly but I cant deal with the depression that follows knowing how much I weigh at the moment.

I havent started working out.. I work get home and need to feed the baby ( single mom) and the idea of bundling him up and putting him in the carrier and taking him down the fitness room at night just wears me out thinking about it. I need to knock some sense into myself and get this going!!!!!!!!

Single mom.. chubby mom.. but happy mom!!! Goal is to lose 50lbs by his birthday party at the end of august.

I am an ex medifaster.. so if you know medifast you know it takes willpower. I need some of that back!

Looking for friends to keep me going!

    You got this! I'm on round two as well. Two weeks in now. Took a year and a half off and gained 15-20 back. It's easier the second time because you know what to do :)

    Hello i am back and determined to complete my self challenge!! I am 48 and weigh 183. I lost 34lbs when i first started MFP. Just before the hoildays came i had hit a plateau and it discouraged me and i stopped. Then you know what happened i gained 8lbs. I have been trying to get back on track and it is not easy, but today was the final day. I started my day with 40 minutes on the WII and then a jog/walk for 27 min. for 2 miles. Tonight after dinner i plan to walk another 2 mile walk and then 5 minutes on the elliptical . I am also only eating 1300 calories a day and going to try not to eat back my exercise calories. If this doesn't work i dont know what else to do. I am all alone in my journey. Feel free to add me but i am not really good with the computer so excuse my spelling and such. i dont even have a facebook account or anything but an email. I cant sit for very long at a time. I always have to be doing something so it might take me hours or days to respond. thanks for listening. Oh by the way my weight loss goal is to be at 150 by the summer. smile

    The wii really does work.... that was my starting point. I didn't want to go to the gym so I played on the wii fit board. Hula hoop and the steps. Boy do I miss that, It was so much fun! I don't have the wii anymore so I use the x-box 360 kinect because you don't have to hold the controller. You can do so much more with the kinect! Good Luck, You can do it this time. Feel free to add me.
