Getting back on the horse...need some motivating friends

Hey y'all, I am looking to find some of my old fitnesspal friends, and make some new ones as well.....I have been back and forth, and I'm ready to just stick with it!!! I need some serious motivating friends I've been feeling very lost, and alone on this journey and I was upset when I got to 185lbs, now I'm at a horrible weight of 208lbs!!! I need help and I need to get back to losing weight, and being healthy again and out of my funk!!!

    I'll help motivate you! Feel free to add me!
  • Hi everyone.
    I'm 29 and not on BC for the past 6 years. My goal is to get 40 lbs lighter on New Year's Day & 80 pounds at the end of May 2015. I weigh 207 lbs and i'm in no shape or form to be able to conceive with PCOS. Also i have a beyond horrible menstrual cycle where i didn't have a period for almost 9 months and now I've been going through serious abnormal bleeding issues. I'm on Metformin 1000 mcg. My doctor has suggested getting me on the "cIomid" bandwagon to up my chances of ovulating but i desperately need to lose at least 40 pounds to seriously get into ttc mode. I don't want to go through a high risk pregnancy, chances of a miscarriage, gestational diabetes, or put 30-50 more pounds in the process. I need a lot of motivation, good advice, a healthy balanced diet and a support group where people are able to understand my issues and have similar goals. I bless everyone here with the best of health, success in losing weight and gaining a baby. Let's motivate each other and achieve our goals this time.

    Always happy to be added.

    I am looking to lose 60lbs... I work in food, and cook from scratch daily... I just eat far, far too much of it. Portion size, portion size, and MFP is great at really highlighting what you're eating.

    It's great to have MFP friends as there is no hiding - just log every snack, no hiding, and you'll see the weight drop off.

    My parents are both obese, and they remain obese because they tell me they are "Big boned" - the truth is that neither they nor I am - I ate too much food, and didn't move my body enough. Realising that has seen me drop six pounds in a week, and I'm already starting to feel full on much smaller portions.

    Let's root for each other
  • I too just recently started, yet again. Add me if you wish and we can support each other.

    You can add me.. I am back at it again... my weight shot up to 308 before I took control... lost 80 pounds... yo-yo'd up and down and I have regained about 40 pounds.. I am down to 255 as of yesterday, but I still have a way to go. I am doing low carb and it is working out well for me.

    Good luck.. I am trying my best to log in every day and exercise every other day..

    I have just recently started back up as well. I am at 189 LBS and need to get to 150 to be at a healthy weight. I started at 198 and I have dropped almost 10 pounds in the past month. I am getting to the point where I actually like working out. I have been doing a lower carb diet and it seems to be working for me. Feel free to add me...maybe we can inspire one another :)

    Everyone feel free to add me as well! I have approximately 110 pounds to lose at this point, and I've failed quite often at this in the past, so this time I'm trying to be as active as possible here to help stay motivated.

    I also am "getting back on the horse" in the sense of returning to tracking and being intentional about exercise. I am far more active than when I started in October and I've been maintaining the weight loss I made the but I need to continue on because I have around 60 more to go. Add me if you'd like.

    I'm in the same boat as you. feel free to add, although, I'm not much of a cheerleader.
  • Hi i am just starting my very long journey of loosing weight. I am 28 years old and weigh over 200 pounds. I am a mother of 4 young children. They keep me busy but not enough to loose the weight i need to. I am needing to get down to 130 pounds to be at a healthy weight. I would love some friends to help me in this long journey ahead that we all have. Send friend requests. I will be on everyday and log everyday. Thanks

    It's early in the day still..do "penance"...get some extra exercise in. You're not going to eliminate all those extra calories but you can make this less of a setback than it would be otherwise. Finish the day strong and tomorrow will be another day...

Feel free to add me as a friend. I would be happy to do my part in encouraging...the more the "merrier" :)
