in Getting Started
Hi there! I’m Hayley I’m a 32 year old mummy of 3 and I’ve struggled with a food addiction for the past few years my weight has ballooned and I hate the way I look and feel! I’ve joined today because something switched in my brain and I realised the food I was eating is poison (fast food) and if I carry on that way I’m not gonna live my best life, I don’t want to get out of breath easily, I’m bursting out of my clothes I feel ashamed of myself! Today i made a promise to myself to change and start eating more healthy and I’ve NEVER this strongly about it! Could do with some similar minded people to talk to x
Thankyou for reading
Hayley.

    Hi, I have 2 kids but since I'm a guy I can't really use that as a reason for my extra weight. But could use the group encouragement.

    Tonight is my first night in the forums. Looking forward to meeting and encouraging everyone.

    Hi I have three kids under 9 and just restarted exercise after a long break (and brand new to this app). I’d like to lose some weight but firm up and change my eating habits.. for me it’s also about looking after my mental health and improving energy levels. I’m keen to help motivate and be motivated by others too.. Let’s do this! :)

    Hey! I've been on this journey for years. I lose and then I gain. I'd love to have some friends to motivate and hold me accountable.

    Hi When reading your post I thought it sounded quite similar to me. I am 37 with 2 kids and my weight has just been constantly creeping higher and higher. I have a few obstacles (early menopause and permanent foot injury) however I refuse to let those become excuses and stand in my way. My starting weight was 202lbs and I have dropped 3lbs in the last week and a half. My goal weight is 165lbs by August and my Ultimate goal is 145lbs by Christmas. I just started using MFP again and hope that we can keep each other motivated and take this journey together. Let’s get this!

    Hi Haley, I'm right there with you. I'm a mother of 4 who is struggling to lose weight. back in 2016 I weighed 220 and lost weight all the way down to 185. Unfortunately, I fell back into old habits gained it all back plus more. I'm currently 230 but looking to start over with my weight loss journey and for good now. I just started using MFP again as well as working out. We can motivate each other on here or if you have IG, @iits_shae, or both. I could definitely give as well as use plenty of motivation this second time around. We can do this!
