in Introduce Yourself
Hi Everyone!
I'm looking for friends to help keep me motivated, share tips/advice, and INSPIRATION on my weight loss journey.

I have been in a weight limbo my whole life. I was the "heavy" girl with the "pretty" face until I lost the extra weight going into sophomore year in high school. I went from a stuffed size 16 to a confident size 7. (I still thank my Dad to this day for keeping the kitchen stocked with fresh fruits and vegetables)
I rode that thin-fit-and-happy wave until my first pregnancy in my 20's, of which, sadly I lost all control. Now I'm 30 and have a hill to climb and do not want to do it alone. I've spent too many days inactive and in a haze of self shame and procrastination. Those days are now behind and are being replaced with positive thoughts and affirmations to a healthy and fit future ahead! Good luck on all your own personal journeys. Add me to share in our successes.

    Hi Jewel, I need friends too. I am a 45-year-old mother of two. I'm trying to lose 15-20 lbs. I lost 45 pounds some years ago and did a pretty good job of keeping it off until the last couple of years. I even gave my testimony on The FIRM's infomercial because of my weight loss success. Unfortunately, I have gained more than half of it back even though my workouts have been consistent. It's been mainly due to overindulgence and partially due to my metabolism slowing down once I hit my forties. Hope you will add me as a friend. Good luck with your weight loss journey!

    I just added you. I am here to help motivate you to your goals. Size 7 here you come. Take before pictures and measurements. You will be surprised how your body will change. Its mind over matter. Eating clean is key. Protein and veggies. 6 small meals. ..You got this. ..we got this. I need to drop 15. Surround yourself with people that will help and it's okay to say no to food that won't get you yo your goal. Your worth it.
