new and looking for buddies

HI, so I'm new to mfp, but not to trying to lose weight. A little bit about me, I'm a busy mom of five children. I've gained more weight with each child and every time it seems so much harder to lose the weight. I really am determind to lose the weight and keep it off, and make some friends along the way. Right now I'm 176 and 5'2, my goal is to be 120-125. I'm looking for friends that would want to share their weight loss journey with me, to support each other in the good and not so good moments. Please feel free to add me.

    Hi! I am VERY new to the site and looking to build up a support group as well. I am a social person and I hope that if I have people to connect to on here I will track my food and be activities more frequently. If I can do that then I will be forced to be accountable for what I am eating or doing both right and wrong. I am a mom and find my self newly single with a new baby. I am trying to lose the baby weight from my last two children and now the new arrival. I am starting small, walking every day and Yoga 3 times a week. I am hoping to get my endurance up so I can get back into jogging and who knows what else!?!

    Please friend me is you are looking for support, or to be supportive. I think we are all in the same boat, we want to change our habits and that is so hard to do alone. Add me as a friend, send me messages if you want to chat or if there is some way we can support one another more.
