Hello

My name is Angela and this is not my first rodeo with trying to lose weight or being on here I just took a very very long break. I know the journey is even better with friends to help hold you accountable an motivate you. So please be my friend :)

    Hi there. My story sounds similar to yours - "been there, done that, and back again." I would be happy to be your motivational buddy because I need it too!

    Hi I'm Hannah and I'm on and off with trying to lose weight as well. I have had 2 children and i am trying to get toned and healthy. I can't seem to stop myself from snacking at night even if I'm not hungry. I'm looking for motivation to get me where I need to be in my goals. I have lost 12lbs but still not at my goals.

    Hey girl hey! I could use some motivation too! I've lost weight before but then got comfortable and relapsed; ugh! So I'm getting back on the horse. My current goal is to loose 10 lbs by Thanksgiving...realistic right?
    We can do it together! Moment by moment, bite by bite, day by day.

    I think 10 pounds is totally doable that my goal as well. Yea having a job where I sit all day an get rewarded with food surely didn't help my cause but we can an we will do this

    I'm hoping the journey is easier with friends to hold me accountable, I totally know what you mean. We can absolutely do this and never have to start over again.

    Also @sheisgettingfit I know u can eat better! Once u start u will feel better and be more motivated! I was never a breakfast person so I started doing protein shakes as a meal replacement. U don't want to skip meals because we want to keep our metabolism burning! I know we can do this!

    I have a problem snacking. I am hoping to get through this and support is needed. 10lbs as a time. 10lbs is a great number

    I used to be very active on MFP and logged for almost 2 years in a row. I deleted my account and a year later found I need MFP if I want to succeed in health and fitness so here I am again looking for your motivation and support with a brand new group of friends. Look forward to becoming best friends with you all. Anyone feel free to add me. PLAY BALL !!
