Hello again!! sadly this is my 3rd time trying to hold myself accountable on MFP. but this time I am ready ive set my goal ive changed my eating and for the firstg time ever I have the support ond cooperation of the rest of my household. I would love people to add me as a friend who are highly avtive on the site and generally have a good attitude about life. I eat some what clean at times but don't want any diehards commented on my food as long as I stay within my calories. really just looking for the support thanks guys.

a little bit about me I am a 28 year old single mother trying to loose 104 lbs by my 30th birthday which is in about 18 months

    Ill be sending a request! Im 26, I've lost 44 lbs already.this is my 2nd attempt. I was able to lose 42 lbs before thinking I knew what I was doing, I stopped logging, and gained 20lbs back..this time it'll work. I am thinking another 50lbs, possibly more depending on how I feel! I've logged 65 days in a row and going strong! You can do this!

    That's what they say - 3rd time is a charm! Everyone slips up from time to time but consistency will win out everytime! You can do this. Cheering for you! Sent a friend request.

    This is my 2nd time trying! I'm in the same boat with the eating. I try to eat clean somewhat but I have a hard time at it! I have no problem with the exercising part though :)

    I'm about to turn 28 and I have 2 kids.. 2 and 19 months :)

    Good Luck to you on losing before your 30th. I am trying to lose as well. I am returning. I l lost 30 pounds before, but found the pounds that I lost. Years ago, I lost 50 pounds and was 10 pounds within my goal weight. But, I got off track and didn't understand that when you get close to the finish line, the weight comes off in .8 and .4 of a pound over time. So I now have that to lose and more. Recently, I have lost 37 pounds towards my goal. I want to remain focused and to move forward with weight loss for a healthier looking me. I am looking forward to the support, comraderie and accountability of the my fitness pal family. I need to get better at exercising on a consistent basis. I haven't gotten there yet. Like you, I eat healthy at most times and at the end of the day I pay attention to my caloric goals. I try to stay on track, but at the end of the day, I do not beat myself up if I don't do everything perfectly. I remain realistic and enjoy positive feedback and advice from others. So, thanks everyone for being here and providing the supportive friendship to all.

    I'm very active on the MFP site as I find it really motivating seeing everyone's efforts every day. Anyone can add me as I will comment actively and like any exercise you do. Moving is key! :)
