Mommy clock's a tickin' and I'm not at a healthy weight. Older siblings coming down with Diabetes and I refuse to be like that. I need something/one to help keep me accountable without making me feel like a fat cow or having people in my life not necessarily lacking in support just not on board with the helping if that makes sense. I work 7 days a week, 70-80 hrs a week so time to exercise is hard to find outside of normally daily activity. Eating healthier and being mindful about how much I eat is a start!

    I added both of you... I could also stand to lose a person. Looking or positivity and motivation (: having people serious about doing this will help me stay accountable for logging in every day!

    Losing a person would be great!! I've gained about ten lbs a year since high school, and was overweight when I graduated. My ten year reunion is this year. I'd love to be friends with you all :)

    Hi, Me too, loosing a whole person is a lot to tackle and I'd love friends on the journey. I'm a stay at home mom and in my first week of changing my diet. (Also afraid of diabetes. My hubby and I are hoping for baby # 2 but I need to get in shape first. I have time to workout but so little energy. So mostly diet but also some low impact aerobics and before bed yoga. I'm doing low carb diet/12-1400 calories a day.

    I'm also in the boat of losing a whole person. It is going to take a lot of willpower and work as well as support from other. :) Feel free to add me.
