in Motivation and Support
Hello! I am looking for some friends who are in the same boat as me. I have a 12 month old boy, and struggling to lose this baby weight! I just want to get back to my pre pregnacy weight, and to do so i need to lose 30lbs. I've never had to lose this much weight before so I could use some support.
Please send me a friend request so we can do this together!

    I'm trying to lose about the same in time for my wedding in March. I did it 3 years ago and out it all back on. I'm currently doing the couch to 10k app and have completed week1. I've signed up for a 10k in September to give me something to aim for.

    this is me too! I've slooooooowly lost 35 pounds since my last daughter was born 2 years ago and I'm determined to pick up the pace and lose my last 20-25lbs THIS SUMMER! (I wanted to have it gone BY this summer, but I'll have to settle for buying all new small FALL clothes and stick to my bigger summer clothes from last year...) Anyway - what do you have in mind for accountability? I was in an "accountability" relationship with a friend where we texted each other pictures of our food, but it was ridiculous, we'd just send each other pics of the crappy choices we were making or not sending pics of the crappy choices...there was no repercussions for making a bad choice... so I'm looking to set something up that is far more accountable... any ideas?

    I'm not sure. I havr the same problem with accountability, I will make good choices one day and the next its all out the window. Maybe weekly weigh in's? I know when I see that the scale hasnt budged or it has gone up that kicks me into gear a little bit

    Need to lose at least 20 lbs to help control my type 2 diabetes. I've done it before using MFP so hopefully doing it again will keep me on track to my goal weight. Logging food and exercise is a pain but reeeeally helps.

    I originally lost 40 pounds prior to my wedding two years ago. I kept it off for about a year, and then I stopped counting calories and I have gained about 25 of that back...so here I am starting again. To get to my original goal weight...I need to lose the 25 I gained back plus about 10 more. I've been back on the bus for a month with counting calories, and I have signed up to work with a personal trainer. Feel free to add me!

    I'm looking to lose 26 pounds. My starting weight was 160 pounds,then I lost 10 pounds. Last time I weighed myself I had gained 6 pounds but I thought maybe it was muscle weight cuz I've been exercising and my clothes were feeling looser than they did before. I'm not trying to lose weight in the same way you are as I've never had kids but I want to look slimmer,have more energy,flatten out my stomach and be a healthier weight. Feel free to add me! :)
