    You can do it girl. My ex left me one month ago. we have a little boy together and i am currently at 200 lbs and im 5'5. So according to my BMI of 33, i am very obese. lol. i want to lose anywhere from 70-50 lbs. and maybe just be a comfortable 8. I just joined on Thursday and i really do love this site. I've tried to logg my food before but without much success. but for some reason, MFP makes it easy. maybe i was just ready to start logging i dont know. I want to get some full body picture, and i need them soon. :-D well good luck girls. i know we can get through this :-D

    Meh, you already lost 190 lbs by getting rid of that loser guy.....oh, make that 350 lbs, I assume the "friend" is also kicked out of your life! (?)

    I am really glad that you joined myfitnesspal. I am pretty new here myself, but I definitely understand the depression and extra weight lurking around. I think it's great that you want to get in shape after having a baby; it'll be really cool for you to be able to run around with the little one. :) If you need a friend or someone to talk to, I'm here for you. Now let's lose those pounds!

    Sweetie, I am in the same position too! We should start a single mom's weight loss challenge and inspire each other :)
