Looking for More Friends and Support

I am a female, married, and will be 40 this year. I am also a mom and very hard working. Keeping fitness a priority is challenging. Losing weight is even more challenging! So I am seeking more friends that are trying to achieve the same goals as me: to lose 1-2 pounds a week for a total of 70 pounds or more. I am praying it will take me a year to reach my goal. It's so difficult but having others support and encourage me as well as doing the same for you is something I think could really boost my confidence!

Please friend me if that's you. Love this App and all of its features..mostly, the opporunity to have a group of people that are also there to cheer you on! and vise versa.

    Hi, I'm new to the boards too (joined a few years ago, fell off the wagon, and trying to get back on).

    I'm a mom of 2, and trying to lose the 50+ lbs I've gained over the years.

    We can do this together! :)

    You can totally do it! I lost 30 pounds last year BUT I took weeks off here and there. If you stay the course, you'll be done in no time! Just started working on the last 30.
  • If you're looking for more friends you came to the right place and feel free to add me as a friend! I am a mom, wife and also work hard. I also have a few health issues and getting in shape is a priority. I'm new to MFP (3 weeks) and it has been a great experience and a lot of support. I lost 4lbs. the first week, 2 lbs. the second week and 2lbs the third week. I'm aiming for a steady 2lbs. most weeks. I am always looking for support and more than willing to lend any support I can. My goal is 50lbs. for the first phase, take a breather and then 50lbs for phase 2. :happy: Add me as a friend and let's do it!!
