Hey!! My name is Lizz in 2015 I lost 85lbs and I went thru a divorce and gained most all of it back... I am determined to lose the weight again but I need friends to keep me motivated even just by seeing your awesome progress on my feed we can do this let me be there to help you too!! I know I sound desperate for friends cuz I am I'm a single mom to a special needs toddler and I don't get out much so I'd love to have some online fitness friends! I have 65 lbs to lose and I know I can do this as long as I have some accountability!

    I completely relate to this in a sense. Lost all the weight, let it just slowly creep back on. Frustrating for sure, but I also know we can do this because we've done it before!

    Hi Liz, I'm new here as well and like you back to needing to loose weight. About 5 months ago I had lost a bunch of weight, and then life changed and I gained it all back and more. Now I'm trying to loose around 85lbs. I'm not sure how to be friend people but I would be happy to be your friend and help motivate each other!

    Hi Liz. You can add me as we have a lot in common although a few differences. I am widowed, 68, had lost 50 pounds and gained it all back. I still have my 32 year old son at home with me who has had an eruption in his medication and I have been bingeing again. He has asbergers and mental disabilities and we cannot get medications stable. So much stress for me for so many years. I have been dealing with him for 31 years and it's been a challenge. My husband died when he was 7 years old. I don't even know what diet to go on or what food to eat anymore as I can't seem to focus on it. I'm very depressed about the gain and have become a hermit in my house again and only go out when I have to. Hope we can all find the help we need:)
