in Motivation and Support
Hi All. I'm not new, but a chronic starter. I tried message boards a few years ago, but found that a lot of people were more interested in discussing everything about their lives EXCEPT their food and exercise. I am looking for friends that are serious about health, can offer advice and support and who are interested in daily check ins about health to keep each other accountable. Obviously there will be times we discuss our families and work, etc, but I am looking for the focus of the friendship to be about our MFP lifestyle. I am a 44 year old women from New England and have 30 pounds to lose. Any takers?

    I’m interested too. I’m always a starter but find it hard to stay motivated eating healthy and exercising

    I start go great guns for a while ( I lost 54 kilos in 16/17 ) put 22 back on after a hip injury and have really struggled with finding the motivation to get back to what I know works for me . I’ve lost 12 of the 22 but it’s taken since April this year .

    Today was good. A little body weight exercise in the am, and have been happy trading in a veggie instead of grain at breakfast (with boiled egg). Have also gotten used to apple cider vinegar rather than dressing at lunch. Basic dinner (no white carbs or gravy/butter). All the little saves allow me to have a treat at night and still come in ok.

    I've lost 34 kg and want to lose another 10kg or so. It's taken a while, not just because weight loss can be slow but because I've yo-yoed a fair bit. I'm pretty sure I'M cured of that and will NEVER go back to where I was. I log every day but don't always log my food. I'm six weeks post a double knee replacement as a result of my obesity. I'll send you a friend request.

    I'd definitely like to join! I'm originally from Boston but live in Chicago now. Weight has been an issue for me in the past but I'd finally gotten it under control with the birth of my daughter ten years ago. Unfortunately, we lost her dad 2 years ago to a drunk driver and with that my weight spiraled out of control. I now weigh 201 pounds and would like to be 140 pounds by the end of 2019. I exercise almost daily but need to get serious about tracking my food, staying within my calorie range, and ENDING EMOTIONAL EATING. I'm in!

    I'm from the UK and a bloke, but don't hold that against me. 5kgs down with another 10 to go - definitely up for anyone who is serious about hitting their goals.
