Not sure if I am posting in the right place or not. I am looking for some people who have a lot of weight to lose, don't have a lot of extra money for all the weight plans and premade meals, who are emotional eaters, and who want someone that can help encourage them while also being a help. Looking to also to get some good tasting yet healthy meals that are family friendly as well as budget friendly:) I was doing good for a few months then backed off and am now back up and at it. Our biggest failure is giving up, not in our little back slides. Come on!! WE CAN DO IT!!

    This sounds like a group I need to be in. I loose 10 - 15 lbs. and then eat doughnuts and yeast rolls to celebrate. And, I exercise, feel better and then quit! Goodness I really need support!

    I'm -451 in my diary today and 0 exercise. WHAT! I'm setting goals for tomorrow; walk 2 miles and 1st day of the 30 day squat challenge.
    I'll refrain from 2 tbsp. of butter and eat smarter.
    How about you?

    Sounds all to familiar, as well. I started last year, basically on my own. I'm not one to ask for help, or admit that I need some words of encouragement now and again. I need a friend, or two. I could really use a buddy... Count me in. Add me as a friend

    I am not a mum but used to have emotional eating issues, and I just think a few of you may benefit from this article I read the other day.

    Relationship with food is so important - we are so lucky to have the food we do! Now my main emotional issue is that I am emotionally invested in my food... I don't have a boyfriend, I have cooking time, ha!

    Does tapping the persons name send a request ? I don't know how to send one. When I tap it all of a sudden it's underlined... Da. Not the greatest at some apps. Lol

    30lbs in 3 months is a lot my friend. Don't set yourself up to fail. Please know this isn't to discourage you but to help you be realistic with your goals. It all happens in time but don't sacrifice your health by not eating enough.

    Me too. I've been diligent since June and I've lost and gained throughout. But the calculations are pretty right on...I go over in calories I gain...stay at or under and I lose. Now staying at or under is coming much easier. Only 4 lbs to go...WooHoo

    Wow, I made my goal on food today.
    WATER, lots of it is the answer. I know this and I love water. I just can't drink it because I am supposed to or because it fills me up. I declare, when I drink it like one should it works.
    Why is it that we know what and how to eat smart but can't make ourselves do it?
