Looking for friends to help keep me motivated!

Edmgirl07 · January 2017

Hi there - my name's Jamie and I'm looking for some new friends to help keep me motivated and more accountable. In the summer I completely fell off of the wagon. I stopped logging my foods and exercising, as a result I'm now the biggest I have ever been. I'm ready to get back at it now and be healthy again. I keep my diary open, and am open to suggestions or advice. If you're in a similar situation and looking for support, please feel free to add me! I also have a fitbit, so if you would like to be friends there as well, you can add me here: [link removed, please send a private message]

Hey there! I was just thinking last night about doing the same thing you have mentioned in your post. Weight loss with a support system is so much easier than going about it alone. If you are still looking for an accountability buddy, I am up for it!

I have been waiting for someone who needs exactly the same! The only part of my weight-loss journey that I have been able to be more disciplined in is my workouts. I have been using fit plan app for 11 weeks now. My only issue is knowing that 85% of weight loss is healthy diet! Unfortunately, I do not have fitbit and I do find it difficult to log onto my fitness pal to the community section. If you would like to text or email let's do this! We can do daily or weekly check ins. I would like to lose 20 pounds.
My name is Amanda I am 25 married with a 15 month old son. [personal details removed]. I am looking forward to speaking with you and assisting anyway I can for motivation and encouragement!

I think I might have somehow typed your opening post... I also fell off the wagon in the summer during and following a very stressful exam period, then I was away for 9 weeks and never got back to being healthy once I got back, now here I am 6 months later almost back to where I started 4 years ago and full of regret!
If we motivate and support each other we can 100% do this! I'm planning on weighing in on Sundays if you're up for it? I find I'm better when I have someone other than me to be accountable too.
I've bought a new salad cookbook that's full of all sorts of interesting and tasty recipes, so my lunch is sorted, and im planning out and pre logging my meals on mfp to help me stay on track with food. Where I'm currently struggling is exercise, feeling very demotivated about going for a run as I know I'm not in any way fit and I'm going to be out of breath before I'm 200 yards down the road!!
Here's my current goals:

Starting weight: 144lbs
End of Jan: 140lbs
End of Feb: 136lbs
End of March: 132 lbs
End of April: 128lbs
End of May: 126lbs

Keen to buddy up and achieve our goals together!

Hi!

I'm trying to lose my last 10-15 pounds. I've been on my weight loss journey for 15 years. Over the years I've lost a total of 86 pounds from my highest non pregnancy weight of 226. However, I have gained and lost about 20-30 of those pounds throughout the last 7 or so years. Im currently at 151ish and am trying to get to 135-140.

Anyone feel free to add me!

Feel free to friend me. I have been on a health quest for the last 5 years doing zumba, bootcamp, hiking, yoga, gym exercises, and walk/jog sessions. I lost weight and gained muscle. At age 55, I am in the best shape I ever been. I am not athletic but I am a true believer exercise heals the body and soul. The hormone endorphin that is released after completing each exercise, brings me to a higher level of happiness and contentment. I challenge myself by increasing reps or speed to keep me motivated and also change my exercise programs weekly to HIIT, tabatas, and weight lifting to make exercise sessions more interesting. When you have a chance, go to the library, take out Extreme Transformation by Heidi and Chris Powell. Highly recommend it.

Definitely up for this! I loose motivation so quickly on my own!

yoursingingrealtor · January 2017

At least you fell off the wagon, I completely rolled under it:) I am definitely looking for some help myself along this journey. Please add me as well. I am up about 16 pounds since where I was last year, so I am completely mad at myself. Oh well, it's never too late. You can do this, let's all do this together.

ChristopherWilcock · January 2017

For a while I would be doing great, keeping track of my meals and sticking to a great exercise plan I gave myself but I've completely lost motivation! I definitely need someone to progress with and keep each other motivated!!!

Evanica · January 2017

I would love to have some friends on here! I have bounced back and forth so many times and am ready to quit the cycle!

I have been on mfp for three years. I've never had a strong group of friends on here to back me up. I think I have that now and it has made me WAY more motivated to log everything and get moving. I welcome any new friends!! I have over 100 pounds to lose. I'm 10 down right now!!

showerbeer182 · January 2017

If you don't mind lots of sarcasm and the occasional inappropriate joke maybe we can help motivate each other
