Looking to lose weight and find a friend maybe

@hummer7j me! Here! I need a workout/accountability buddy

You can do this! You say you don't have the motivation you need, but you're going to the gym and have come here, I think you're started in the right direction. Start logging what you eat, it helps a lot to see the calories of what is actually going in your mouth. From there, you can modify what you're eating.

For what it's worth, one of the things that has helped my anxiety is working out. Doing the exercise helps at the time, but physically feeling stronger helps me feel more in control. Weight coming down has motivated me, but being able to move better has me feeling healthier all the way around. I hope this is the case for you too!

Help and support really helps and we’re all here for the same thing and to help each other along. Feel free to add me as a friend and good luck in your journey! You can do this!

Like Phirrgus mentions use the app. Make some friends here and don’t be afraid to talk about the struggle. Let your friends give you friendly slap upside the head when needed for motivation. It can be difficult at times. I suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, used to run Triathlons, train for the Ironman and now if workout or walk in any magnitude I end up in bed sometimes for days recovering in pain. I have do every activity of any kind in moderation. The VA helped me with my initial weight loss jump start and I’m down over 40 pounds and counting mostly just by paying attention to food intake so far. It’s starting to get a little harder and slower going now that I’m at 210 so counting the calorie types and making sure i’m At least doing some physical activity a few days a week is critical I came to MFP looking for the APP accountability and to make some friends for the same purpose also. Keep reaching out.

You can add me!
