It can be so hard sometimes to stay on track can't it? Life sometimes gets in the way or if you're like me food gets in the way as I love it so much lol. But I also want to lose the weight so I have to find a balance between the 2.3

I'm here to get healthy and be an even better role model for my daughter. I'm happy to help with accountability. I'm not a health food nut or exercise queen but I try to be as healthy as I can while also living life.4

Hi yall, I'm a full time working mom too and have about 60 to lose. I'm disappointed in myself and want to do better for my son so I can have the energy to play with him while we're both still young(ish). I really made a conscious effort today to keep track of my food and attempt to exercise as best as time allows. I'm embarrassed to share with my family because they're all really fit and healthy already, so I want to do this on my own without a grand announcement of "I'm doing this!" I just want them to notice, whoa, you're looking good! Where did that come from?9

Hi!! I just had a baby 6 weeks ago, and I'm actually about 25 lbs lighter now than I was before I got pregnant, but I still have about 70 lbs I need to lose. I'm currently 212. I'd love a partner! I also work full time and have a toddler. I started tracking meals and walking this week! I can't really afford a gym membership right now either, but walking for now is fine!4

This sounds so much like where I was 4.5 months ago! I was down 20 pounds below my starting weight of pregnancy. I'm still mostly just walking for exercise but hope to start lifting weight soon. I've got 50 more pounds to go.

Hello everyone, I'm a single mother and a college student. I need to lose 50 pounds or more, but my eating habits are terrible. I've been working out very consistently for two months now and I see hardly any changes in my body, and no weight loss. My strength and endurance are improving and I'm looking more tone in some areas, but overall I'm just really discouraged. I know my next step is to improve my diet, so I signed up for a premium account with MFP to try and get serious about my diet. Next step for me is to find an accountability buddy. Please help

Diet and consistency are the hardest part of losing weight I think. Being in college is probably stressful too!! If ur like me, at signs of stress you comfort eat which is gonna be a junk diet. Together we can make it!! Let's define our weight and not let it define us!! You just took a giant step in the right direction ☺️2

Dyann..you sound the same as me. I spent ages losing 10lb very very hard and what happened I piles it on back on again. I'm as big as I was the week after I had my youngest now, biggest I have been non pregnant. I'd like to loose about 28-30lbs. I need to have someone be shocked by what I eat. This morning I have had 2x small fruit toast with scrape of butter (could have added fruit) lunch a healthy veg soup..then after that I scoffed over 500 calories on 2 packs of crisps, 3 mallow cakes and a choclate mini roll. I just cant seem to stop eating the junk. I gave up drinking amonth ago and Think I am still craving sweetness (lots of sugar in booze!) anyway would love to chat and get to know you all xx0

I'd love to join you ladies. I'm a full time working mom. My husband works A LOT! He owns 4 businesses and is gone usually 6 days a week, 12-15 hrs/day. We have 7 children (17, 15, 12, 11, 9, 7, 5). I'm trying to lose 40-50 lbs. I've been on mfp on and off for years and re committed on May 1. I began Stronglifts that day, and as a result, haven't seen much movement on the scale, but I know it'll come. Feel free to add me
We can do this! 2 -
Hello, I am new to this app and everything. I would like to lose about 20lbs. I am a full time college student with a 5 year old daughter and my husband works nights. I would love to be apart of yalls group if you would have me?0

I'm a mother of 3. I stopped breast feeding a month ago when exercising seemed to shorten my supply. I stopped my workouts and tried to go back to BFing but to no avail. My youngest son is now 7 almost 8 mos old and I've hit the workouts hard. I work from home on the computer so I have to be really careful about my diet. I've lost 11 lbs so far and I'm looking to lose about 25 more. 30 if it looks good on me, we will see. I'm looking to encourage and be encouraged. Recipe sharing, snack ideas, I've got mine to give and I'm looking to receive more because I looove food.
I'm trying to quit soda/pop all together. Right now I've been pop free for 5 days. I've noticed less bloating but it's a battle not to cave.
My husband is very supportive and does MFP accountability with me but having some ladies as well would be awesome.1 -
Hi could i join? I'm a full time stay at home mum to a 3 and 8 year old. I have 50 pounds to lose and am aiming to lose 28 pounds by my holiday in october.0

I'll join you ladies. I'm a SAHM with an almost 3 yr old and almost 2 month old. Trying to get fit and set a good example for my girls. I don't want them to be as unhealthy as their dad and I were growing up. Was within 20 lbs of my goal weight before pregnancy but now I have 40 to lose.1

Thank you ladies for commenting!! I have sent you all a friend request for those of you who didn't beat me to it!! I'm excited about this weight loss journey we are working on together and look forward to encouraging each and every one of you!! We can do this ladies!!1

Hello everyone!!! I'd LOVE to join this team of accountability buddies!!! I am back on MFP after the birth of my twins, and a singleton, (a mere 18 months later....) So, needless to say...I'm in need of weight loss/toning up. I've lost just over 30# on my own since starting back up, but I'd like to drop about another 30#....seems it's getting harder to lose, the more weight that comes off??? Stupid scale! Lol....Please add me, I NEED HELP/ IDEAS/ ENCOURAGEMENT...I log on everyday.....1

Add me! I'm sick of gaining and losing parts of the last 10-15 lbs of pregnancy weight from my 18 month old. I'm doing well here on MFP but I need to keep it up.
Making healthy choices takes so much energy sometimes, I find myself wanting to pull my hair out or just lying flat on the floor exhausted through his process. But it's worth it. It's better than giving in to stress eating.
It can also be lonely making lifestyle changes - my husband has no real problems with overeating nor does my older daughter. So any friends welcome!1 -
Hi everyone, I'd be interested in joining the group of accountability? I'm a single
mom who has both a ft and pt job. I'm hoping to lose 40lbs more and have been using MFP since April 3rd.
Life keeps us moms busy (both single and married moms!) and often life leaves us focusing on everyone else but ourselves! I know for me that I want to be healthy for myself but also my daughter.
Feel free to friend me to get the group started!
