in Introduce Yourself
I've been using this site for a few weeks now, but I keep thinking how I would love friends to do this with and also someone to be accountable to! It would also be nice to have someone to relate to as far as motherhood. I've got a 5yo, 2yo and 7 month old. I've got about maybe 80lbs to lose and I'm down 7 now. I feel kinda strange just asking for random people to be friends with lol, so if anyone would like to add me or be a pal on here, please let me know!

    I have a 3 year old and a 10 month old. I am right there with you! I'm trying to workout daily and monitor the foods I eat so I don't eat too much. I only have about 10 more lbs to go...but those seem to be the hardest.

    Holy heck! All these replies in about 5 minutes! lol

    Loving this place already. So some questions. When you're friends with someone, can they view your food and exercise logs and all that? If so, I could see that being some motivation if it was on stage for all to see lol.

    I made my food journal open to friends...I'm not sure about the exercise log...if people other than myself can see what i'm eating I might think twice about what i put into my body

    If you'd like for people to view your diary you have to go to settings and change it to either public(where everyone can see it) or friends only. :) It really helps me to stay accountable if others can see my diary. :)
