in Getting Started
I'm ready to start this again! I lost 30 lbs and then fell off the wagon due to being on a fire assignment for work and working everyday 16 hrs per day and sitting in front of a huge snack table! I'm looking for more friends so we can motivate each other and hopefully reach our goals!
I am a single mom of 2 girls and I have a sw of 302.7(start date of my lifestyle change this time is 7/11/16) my cw is 301.6 and my gw for now is 180. That may change once I get there. Oh, and I'm 5'7. So don't be shy and let's drops some pounds!!!

    You go, Girl! I've been there (lost and gained back). May I make a little suggestion? It may be less frustrating if you start with a goal that you can reach in a few weeks. I set my goal to lose about 20 pounds. I lost that in a few weeks, celebrated, then I changed my goal for another 10 pounds, etc. I get discouraged easily.

    I have started more times than I can count, but I really feel like this is it. I've been on my weight loss journey since January and back on MFP since June. Feeling more positive and stronger than ever and a lot of that has to do with some of the amazing people I've met through this site. Feel free to friend me.

    Good for you! I'm also getting back on the wagon, I'm starting by walking 3 miles everyday and then weighing myself at the end of the week to see where that gets me

    I understand how you feel. I had lost almost 40 lbs a few years ago & thought I could continue on my own. Wrong. Gained most of it back. So last fall I restarted at 269 lbs & logged on daily for a few months, then went into Hibernation for 5 months over the winter. On Leap Year Day, Feb 29/16 I weighed myself, saw that I had actually lost 5 more lbs! I immediately got back to logging every mouthful every day (I have now logged on 136 days since then) so as not to gain back what I had lost & now weigh 234 lbs!

    Add me as a friend & we can support each other. :)
