This Goes Better With Friends

I've been through 2 accounts, and a few attempts.
My first 2 tries were successful.
I lost 40lbs the first time, but a soul crushing career brought it back...doubled. That was almost a decade ago.

The second time, I lost 35lbs, but gained it back 4 years ago with pregnancy and maternity leave.

Last time, I didn't use the community function, and it was a short lived run.

That was less than a year ago, so I'm trying to get back to it.
However, I see more success with friends.

I'm striving for a maintainable lifestyle change in regards to my activity level and food choices.
No quick fixes, because, in my experience, those pounds find their way back with reinforcements.

Send me an add!

    Hi! Feel free to add me. I've been off and on here but recommitted this month to my journey. Most of the friends I made before are no longer active so it would be great to have active friends again for support and motivation 😊

    Welcome back!!! I'm giving it another go around again, was on here a couple of years and hit my goal, unfortunatly, i went off of MFP, and through the years have gained most of it back, so im back to loose the extra weight again, as I know it works....with truthful logging and consistency, and patience!!! Please add me as a friend, and we can go through this journey together...
