My title explains it all! Looking for those in the same boat, accountability buddies! I am fairly new to myfitnesspal, had the app for a looking time but haven't consistently used it. I am sick of yo-yo-ing 10 lbs up and down, I just want to win this lifestyle and feel free, healthy, confident and energetic. I need accountability and discipline. Anyone want to be friends?

    Feel free to add me! I find its always harder when you have kids as they take up a lot of your time and attention! Lol. Stay positive and there are some really inspirational and supportive people in here who can help you through this journey! X

    Hi! I’m 39, Mom of 5, and want to take off 20 too. I’m a recent weight watchers drop out- I couldn’t make the freestyle program work for me. I lost 40 pounds on the old program and now I’m looking to take off the last 20!

    @stephaniec715: You look great! You don't look like you have had 5 kiddo's. I'm a mom of 1 .I gained over 40 lbs this past year. I'm looking to lose 50 with doing the low carb diet and doing multiple types of exercise :)

    FIRST OF ALL, 5 kids?! Yaaaaas! You go mama! I’m the oldest of 5 kids so... I totally understand that chaos. It’s a beautiful thing, though... no matter how much you might wanna rip your hair out now. ;) feel free to add me! I have two kids myself and have lost 95 lbs naturally over the last 2 years. You can totally do it!

    I am a a little older than you, 43, but desperate for some support! I also have 5 kids, teenagers who want to eat junk all the time! Please add me, ladies! I work nights as a nurse so I have a weird schedule and back issues that are interfering with my exercise. Help!

    any of you ladies feel free to add me! A little about me and my plan. I’m in my late 20’s and a mom of 2 (pre-teen and toddler). I’ve been on this journey for about 2 years. I lost 50lbs the first year and gained back 30 of it back when I went to work. Trying to find a balance between home life, work and exercise was my challenge. I’ve cut my hours at work and now only working part time so I have more time in my day to focus on me. My main goal this year was to make myself a priority! Food is always a struggle for me and probably always will be. I love food!!!! Right now I eat kinda low carb. I allow myself one grainy/bread item per day but have increased my veggie and fruit intake
