Hi guys! I'm a 26 year old mama to a sweet little preschooler and I'm looking for accountability partners, inspirational stories or anyone who is trying to better themselves. I've tried MFP a few times and usually go for a few weeks at a time...and then I get busy. And then I get discouraged. So I'm looking for others who are in the same boat! I'd love some inspiration and some extra motivation! I've been doing t25 for the past few days and am starting meal tracking again. Add me if you'd like and we'll go on this journey together! :)

    Hi brooklynandme. I've been off and on with weight loss. Feel motivated to start again as my clothes are tighter and I don't want to buy bigger clothes. Started the T25 yesterday and I'm meal tracking. Hope it helps because all my muscles hurt after day 2 of the exercise. Will try to keep up for a week at least and hope it gets better

    Hi! I'm 24, active duty, married, living in Italy. Just gave birth to my first in March and needing to lose the baby weight. I'm actually starting back to the gym today after taking 11 months off (I know, horrible). I need major accountability help. I've tried MFP a couple times before and then I give up. I've been really into my Fitbit too, in case you have one of those. Would love to "team" up. :)

    28 year old plus size chick right here! I've been doing a mix of counting calories and WeightWatchers for 2.5 years total but have buckled down since the first of this year. I have a long term goal of over 100 pounds to lose so I will totally be your accountability partner!

    Hi Brooklynandme,

    I also have a lot of hard work and tears I dare say ahead of me to lose the weight I have gained over the last 7 years. I have 1 child in kindy and a 18month old and a lot of excuses as to why I gained the weight in the 1st place but 1 day at a time starting from today, I am just going with the eating healthy and exercise and my doc has me on duromine closely monitered of course due to my high cholesterol and extreme food cravings or no control of myself as I like to say. I have 35kgs to lose
    Please add me as a friend and anyone else on the same journey. Looking forward to chatting.

    Hellllloooo! I'm also a mom and wife. I have a 6 year old son. I was in the army for 6 years and decided to get out after his was about 8 months old....and since then all of the weight I had lost forever has found its way back to me years later. I want to be back healthier mentally and physically for myself and my family and I refuse to settle...guess the saying is true "when you are ready for change you will make it happen...but only when you are truly ready" I have started and stopped before but I'm tired of quitting! And this time even if my journey moves at a snail pace I don't want to sit around mad at myself gain for for giving up. I hope to find friends and encourgament along thins journey and I wish whoever is reading this much success also.
