I've been on this journey before but I just can't "go it" alone. Im looking for someone to buddy up with an keep eachother accountable. Im about 20 lbs overweight and as we all know, that's the hardest to lose. Im in my 4th year of college, two young daughters still at home, a husband, and very active in my church. If anyone is willing to buddy up, I'll be an encouraging partner. I have been here before but didn't get the support I needed, probably because i couldnt figure out how to properly use this site! Lol. This has got to be the year for me to reach my goal!

    Wow you have your hands full. I'll do my best to support you. I would like to lose 18 lbs to get down to 150. The thing is once i'm there I don't want to return to this point again. I'm one of those all in or all out. perhaps you can teach me moderation.

    I have a total of 17lbs to loose, 11 more to go. It's been hard and slower than I'd like, so I get where you're coming from. I'm adding you now.

    Hi!
    I'm in almost the same situation as you 70deedee. I'm married with 2 kids and about 15 pounds left to lose from a total of 18. I'm 38, I get stressed easily and tend to overeat. I'm trying to fit in more workouts but its hard to find time and that is de-motivating. I hope talking to another like me will help. You are welcome to add me if you like. I'm figuring out this site too.

    I'm back at it again and need some support. I want to lose 20-30 pounds. I'm at home with my husband and three kids (oldest at college) and need motivation to stick with healthy eating and work outs. Friend me for mutual support and motivation.

    I'll send you a friend request! I'm new to MFP but feel quite motivated. I am 42, work full time, and have a young son. I am hoping to lose 20 - 25lbs. I also recognize the importance of good support, so I've been looking into some of the group challenges. Happy to friend any of you here. Adina

    Hello!
    I am also married with kids 6 actually. I have 21 pounds to lose so i have a long way to go.
    It is hard to fit work and workouts all in one day. My parents think i got married too young so they are not at all supportive. You can add me if you would like.
