Hey all I'm Trish. Had a baby last year and packed on quite a few pounds during pregnancy and another 30 after she was born. My biggest problems were from being sedentary and boredom snacking.

I have one month before I have to return to my hustle and bustle job and would like to lose a few pounds and get a bit fitter before that happens. I miss my old body. I miss the bounce in my step and wiggle in my walk.

Ultimately im looking to lose between 80 and 100 pounds. I have a long journey ahead of me and am looking for friends in a similar situation for motivation and accountability.

Please add me if this sounds like you or even if it doesn't. A little diversity is nice.

    @Trish_Bot Hey Im am Danielle. Today is the first day of my journey to loose 120 lbs!. I have lost 40 of the 120 before. However I wasn't able to keep it off for long. I recently within the last 2 years gained it all back and some.

    Feel free to add me! I'm also looking to lose the post baby weight. I have 20 pounds to get back to prepregnancy weight, but ultimately need to lose 80-90 in order to get to a healthy BMI.

    Well, I use Kg instead of the lb but roughly I'm going to lose 80 lb. I used the Canadian diet and lost 12 lb in a week. It's great, and I recently added some workouts to my plate. I think I'm gonna make that Canadian diet as my lifestyle when I reach my desired weight. Feel free to add me is you want a friend in your weight loss journey.

    It's tougher for sure in your 40's. I started at 386 and down to 298 in 9 months. Still a ways to go. Feel free to add me.

    You want older, 200 lb.+ friends for motivation? I am 65 and currently at 276lbs. I have lost 37lbs. so far but I have at least another 120 to lose. I am in this for the long haul and would love to both give and receive motivation from friends. Count me in!
