in Getting Started
Hi, my name is cyndi i am 27 yrs old. I am starting my weight loss journey this is not the first time I've attempted to lose weight I have succeeded and failed numerous times. I am in need of friends to motivate me and keep me on the right track also I need to relate to others who are in the same situation as me. I am a first time mom to a beautiful girl who is now 5 months old my weight went up to 271 while pregnant I am currently 257 pounds. My short term goal is to get to 220 pounds than I would like to get to the weight I was 2 yrs ago which was 170 pounds. Being In a relationship and 2 pregnancy (1 lost in miscarriage) has put a lot of stress on my body because I failed to look after it now I feel like I need to lose weight to find myself again I'm sick of being unhealthy and having a low self esteem. So if you want a real and honest friend add me I would love to have support through this change. Thanks

    Hi Cindy, I'm Ivette mother of 4, busy life, mother of 4. It's never to late to start. Push yourself, Start slow, but commit to work out every day. Any type of Cardio will do wonders! What helps me, I get home put on my workout clothes AND that motivates me to do my exercise daily.

    Hi Cyndi, I too could use additional friends along my journey. So far I've lost 6 lbs. and I've got 20 more to go. What's worked for me so far is just sticking to my 1200 calories. I also enjoy walking but with the cold, it's been difficult. But I'd love for you to add me as a friend as well.

    Thanks everyone :) it's nice to be so encouraged, it really helped me through my first day as I would call it detox because I've gotten addicted to bad foods that my body and mind is in shock with health lol

    Try making small permanent changes. For example, no eating after 8pm - period. No drinking calories. Those two things alone make a big difference for me. Yes, the first day will be hell, the second day will be hard but not quite hell, day three will be a little easier and eventually making the healthy choice will become a habit.

    Feel free to add me as a friend.

    I am new to this app and need support as well. I think we all do. However I don't know how to add friends and don't want to add people who don't want added :) I am 35 and weigh 212. My short term goal is 190 but hoping I can eventually get back to at least 150. I have 2 kids. After my 1st I lost most of my weight and was down to 130. I never lost the weight from my 2nd. Only gained...

    Hi, I am in a somewhat similar situation as you. However, I don’t have children so that is the only difference. I am 34 years old and weight 225 pounds currently. I would like to get back down to 170 as well or maybe a little less but that is good enough for me. I will definitely be your weight loss friend! If you would like to be email friends, FB friends, and maybe even Skype friends, PM me and we can add each other and email each other! I would love more friends!
