Hello, My name is Bobbie. Im a 33 yr old single mother of two girls looking to lose at least 50 lbs. I have used the myfitnesspal app a few time in the past but never the community. I'm hoping I can find a partner or a group of people to help keep me on track and I the same for them :smile:

    Hi Bobbie...I just started myfitnesspal 10 days ago and so far I do like it. It's the exercise I do after work in the evening that I have to push myself to do!! Of course, once I do it I am sooo happy I did, it's just getting the ambition to do it..lol. Stay with it and good luck!

    Hi Bobbie, I too am 33 returning to the app with a target of 74lb to lose. I have 1 child and I know that I need to introduce more exercise into my life so am starting off slow, in my home and hopefully will make one change at a time. Heather x

    Hi. I'm Janet. Just turned 33 and have 2 kids. I'm also looking to lose 50lbs. I have never seemed to be able to shed the "baby weight" and my kids 7 and 9 - lol! I've tried this app a few times, but never with friends or support. I'm looking for motivation as well.

    Hey Bobbie! I'm Casey. I also have 2 kids and think of them often for motivation. I know that they will follow my example which helps me to make smarter nutritional choices (at least I try lol) although as mom it's sometimes hard to find time for yourself. I still haven't reached my goals yet, but am working hard to get there. You've got this girl!
