in Motivation and Support
I'm looking to befriend other women who are on a journey similar to mine. I'm 30, married, with a 1 1/2 year old little girl. I'm a stay at home mom. I'm around 240 lbs so I know this is going to be quite the adventure. I've got a lot of learning to do. I want to have someone that I can vent to and vice versa. I want to be able to talk about our day to day wins and fails. Everything from diet and exercise to kids, spouse, work, etc.

    I have no children, only animals currently. But I am super lazy and absolutely hate excercise... turns out.. I'm fat. Weird how that works. I'm so unmotivated to lose weight, however a recent trip to the Dr changed that as I'm only almost 32 and have the "highest cholesterol she's seen for someone in their 30's"..nothing makes me feel better than to hear I'm too fat.. long story short for health reasons I need to lose weight...I'm definitely in need of help and support. And I in return would do the same for you!

    I'm 36 with 3 kiddos. I have had some weight loss, and gained it back :neutral: I too would like to hear some real struggles of others...it makes me feel more normal. I think we are all here on a journey, and the more support we can give each other, the more successful we will all be.

    Hey, I'm 33 years old, mom of a 2yo little girl, and recently separated. Unfortunately food has always been my support, so between an emotionally abusive marriage to a tough separation, I am now at my heaviest weight ever. But it's time to make it stop. I would be glad to be your friend :-) I could use all the help and motivation I can get too!

    I've done this before and MFP is always a major part of my journey. The last time I was using this site I lost 45 pounds. Yeah me! But then life happened and I let stress and depression win the battle. I put 30 of those pounds back on and I am NOT happy and just don't feel good. I'm back at it and more determined than ever.

    The stress is not gone and won't be for some time BUT I am NOT letting have the control or power anymore.

    I've got a total 80 pounds I'd like to lose from here. If you'd like some support, I will be on here daily. I promise to cheer on your victories and give you support when you need a kick in the behind. All I ask is that you provide the same....

    Send me a friend request if interested.... and, good luck on your journey. Let's kick FATS butt!

    I'm right there with you. My kid is 3.5 and I just finished grad school I have been struggling with weight loss depression and anxiety for about 10 years and am ready for recovery to start.

    I started making changes yesterday and would love more support.
