I'm a 30 year old Christian woman from southern California looking for friends to lose weight with.

I have lost 47 pounds in the past 3 years and have 25 to go. I don't go to a gym, I just walk or power walk at my local park.

I'm a stay at home mom and wife looking for other moms or active users who are ready to finally Lose weight.

    Hi I'm interested. I had my son 14 months ago. I lost about 34 pounds after I gave birth last year. My short term goal is to lose 18 pounds to achieve my goal weight of 180 lbs and my long term goal is to lose another 15 lbs to reach 165 pounds.
    Since, I gave birth, my weight has fluctuated between 195-198. I'm really looking forward to this challenge. I thought it would be best to start with a small goal.

    I don't think you have to do anything to join. I think you just post your progress on this message board.

    @clarae98 you sound like me! My son is 19 months and I keep creeping between 189-195 (time of the month water retention is crazzzy!). I'm having such a hard time losing this time around. I also have a 3.5yold daughter.

    Hi Kimberly,

    I havecsix year old as well and a house full of junk food. I thought if I try to lose weight during the holidays and stick to my goal then I could accomplish my biggest hurdles.

    @clarae98 good plan!!

    @MyHousecatDaytona did you have a weigh in day in mind? Christmas is a Sunday so we could do that! Generally I prefer Fridays though

    Great! Let's all weigh in next Friday! I'm not 100% on my current weight - I have insane fluctuations around TOM. I'll weigh tomorrow morning and use it as my starting weight
