in Motivation and Support
I'm looking for a body double. Someone with a similar height and weight; and similar goals. I need someone to motivate and push me when I really need it. And I need someone who is needing the same kind of motivation and support as well.

I've been doing this for a looooooooong time, (close to 3 years now) and I just can't beat these last 40ish lbs. (I've lost close to 100 already!) In fact, I've been stuck for the last 6 months. I've been yo-yoing within the same 10 lbs for the longest time now. I've readjusted my calories (both up and down!), I've upped my exercise, I've cut out alcohol, and still nothing. I think what it's really coming down to, are my "off" days are happening more often than they should.

I **KNOW** what I should do and how to fix this. But for some reason, I'm just not sticking with it. (Hello self-saboteur!) I need help and I know there has to be someone in a similar situation that needs it too.

A little about me:
I'm 24 - I'll be 25 in June! I'm 5'4", currently I'm about 182 and my goal range is from 140-150. I'm a single mom and I work full time - from home - eeeeeek! I also live with my chocolate & junk food addicted mother.

Sooooo, if you're interested, shoot me an email and let's get this party started!! :happy:

    Hello,
    My name is Stacie. I am 25 years old. My startting weight was 217. My current is 184. My goal is 135-145 depending on how I loo and feel too. So, as you see, current goals/weight are VERY similar. I struggle on my "off" days as well. I also struggle with motivation. Right now, I have a sprained ankle, so gym has been a no-go for a few days. I can't wait to get back to it. I am no expert, but I do know quite a bit on weight loss as well as tips and tricks. I will be more than happy to assist you in your weight loss journey as long as mutual motivation is present!
    Welcome and good luck!!!

    I've seen this before! Thanks!

    I'm mostly looking for someone with similar goals so we can motivate and push one another. I mentioned body size, because I wouldn't feel comfortable with someone who is 5'6 and 160 lbs looking to be 120 - kwim? Maybe that sounds a little absurd, but I've been on the bigger side of the weightloss spectrum and I still have a lot of those bad habits and tendencies, which is why I am stuck - someone who has been in my shoes before can understand and relate.
