Hello! I lost over 110 pounds with weight watchers in about a year, but after my leader quit it was as if all my support crumbled. I was about 5 pounds from goal, but now I've gained nearly 30 pounds back.

I'm looking for some motivational buddies like I had in meetings, but without all of the shoving products down my throat.

Please add me whether you're just starting or close to goal! We can share tips and tricks to help each other meet our goals!!

    Congrats on your progress, and your back on track now!

    I tried weight watchers many years ago. Once I left the program I realized I was not armed with how to live my life "not on a diet". That's one of the great things about MFP, it trains your eye to see what a reasonable amount of food is. You learn that you cant have a bagel for breakfast, hamburger for lunch and spaghetti for dinner and maintain your weight. All 3 are reasonable, but not in combination.

    Good luck on your journey!

    Feel free to add me as a friend!

    I'm a 27 year old recent mother to twins, so I understand wanting to set a good example. I want nothing more than for my daughter to just see me eating normally and healthy instead of living on a constant 'diet'.
