in Getting Started
Unfortunately I took a hiatus for several months to get my family moved and my middle child through graduation and into his first year of college. I’m finally ready to commit again and am looking for support ❤️ I lost quite a bit of friendships during my hiatus 😞 and I totally understand BUT they are missed. A bit about me ... I’m 45, married, have three kids 25, 18 & 13, I live in north Georgia. I’ve been a soccer mom and football mom now I’m a cheer mom ( lol) I love to play with rescue pups and all things that revolve around the water! Crafting is my hobby - chalk paint, old furniture, vinyl , paper and ribbon 🎀 are by friends in my free time. I’d like to lose 50 or more lbs this year. I don’t really have a specific plan, my body likes low carb and I ordered some products from Modere that I like. Would love new fit bit friends as well I like the challenges and find that being competitive keeps me focused. If your reading this and think we might have things in common - friend me 😊

    I want to lose about 60 lbs, am a mom of a 1.5 year old and artistic. So, that's sort of similar, right? Haha

    Hi! It was like reading my own intro! I'm a 39 yo mom of 3 (18, 14, 15). My daughter just graduated high school and is in her first year of college. I'm a crafter too. I sit all day at work and then again when I craft so I am using my fitbit to help motivate me to move more. I'm low carbing it to try to lose 45-50 pounds...I had a hysterectomy in 2006 and am hypothyroid and while I love carbs, my body does not. Friending you now :)

    Hi! I'm 45 and have 3 kids, youngest just turned 13. I live in Australia so I talk in kilograms, but google can help me convert! How do I add people? Do I need to be on premium? What an awesome bunch of people here!

    My boy use to play soccer. He's into taekwondo now. I got injured twice at the end of 2016 early 2017. I gained a lot of weight and I'm attempting to get it off. You are welcome to say,"Hello." And send a friend request if you like. Good luck on your journey :)

    I'm a 28 yo mom of 4 ( 4yr, 3yr, 18mo and 3mo). I also enjoy crafting, when I have the time. My health is poor, looking for friends but don't know how to add them. I started using myfitnesspal last year and only used it a couple months then quit during my last pregnancy and have recently started it up again.

    I'm doing this from my phone, instead of "add as friend" there's an icon with people silhouettes. Thanks for the direction! It helped me find what I was looking for!

    Hi all I'm 43,father of three husband and The Fat Dad. I am trying to go from 214(last week) to 165 by the new year. I'm logging my journey live here (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvHnRc6yR5D3NjeEQ9Bfw9A?view_as=subscriber) and have my first weigh in tomorrow that I'll be posting on the channel. I try to post daily my run times, my food logs and my workouts. I'll also share any setbacks and stumbling blocks. I'm using it as an accountability tool and may to provide a little motivation. I've yo-yo'd up and down in weight since I left the Navy 15 years ago and I'm determined to get it off and keep it off this time around! I don't really know how to use this page yet. I've logged in 49 days in a row but haven't made friends or participated in discussions, just using the calorie and exercise tracker. Anyway, please add me as a friend :smile:

    Hello! I'm starting again after being MIA for a few months. I am 45 and have two kids (22 & 11). I'm going thru a lot including a divorce, so I'm trying to take care of me. I need a lifestyle change. I have the tendency to do really well for a few weeks and then fall off the wagon. I need to stay motivated because I have 40-50 lbs to lose. I used to live in GA but currently live in CO. I also enjoy chalk painting and fixing up old furniture. I'm a gymnastics mom after being a football mom for many years. I have a Fitbit and could use any help I could get :smile: . I'm open to having lots of friends that have similar goals and in a similar situation. Send me a request.
