    Would love (and could use) some MFPs to add as friends and kick my butt when needed

    This is my third go round on MFP but I'm more determined than ever. I'm 48 and a single mom of 4, busy with the kids and life in general. Every time in the past when I dieted I would eat the low-fat snacks or limited amounts of bad food - of course I was hungry at the end of the day and binged and eventually gave up. This time it's not happening - I pack my lunch everyday and include as many colors (no dyes) as possible in my food including pistachios, string cheese, salads, yogurt. I've lost 11lbs since 9/11 but have about 100 more to go. I'm very motivated now but could always use some cheering on or suggestions. Please post on here and I'll add you as a friend if you'd like. Thanks!

      Hi there! I have lost 90 lbs in the last 3 years and want to lose 10 more. I live in Hermitage TN (right outside of Nashville) and I also take my lunch to work. You can add me as a friend cause I could use some more friends! Good luck!

      Busy mom here too and also returning recently to MFP. The only time I've successfully shed weight was by eating everyday food but in moderation so that is my plan again this time. Feel free to add me!

      Sent you a friend request! I'm on my second go-around here - lost a bunch, gained it all back, and I'm working on it again! Love to have more friends for motivation and support. :)

      Feel free to add me. I've been here a few years. I've had to adjust the way I eat over time as I got closer to my goal weight. I have recently gained 10 back due to some things going on in my life but I'm committed to be back on track now. I'll help in any way I can :smile:

      Just joined again for probably the 5th time as I keep starting and stopping. But this time I'm serious about losing weight! Please feel free to add me and we can kick each others butts!

      I'm in the same boat! I have tried it multiple times and given up. This time around, I'm making sustainable changes and not lying to myself in order to eat more. Finding time to exercise with a kid is hard, but I need someone to kick my butt and keep me accountable as well.

      You can add me! I need more motivation with friends on here as well. This is my second go around too. The first time I really didn't try hard but this time I'm going to do it. Have about 40 lbs to go so I need some encouragement as well.

      I'm just starting thi MFP. Don't know much about it. I'm looking to lose some pounds and never seem to self motivate. I too need some butt kicking and friends to make this more enjoyable.
