Hi! I’m new here and am looking for some female friends to create a group for a weekly check in. I think it will help keep me more accountable. I’m 34, 5’4” and am currently 182lbs and looking to get down to 150-160. I eat pretty healthy but have an especially hard time on the weekends and have a hard time with self control when it comes to carbs and sweets. Thanks!

    Hi I'm 34, 5'3 and 175Ib so similar stats! I'll be interested In having a lil group where we can share weekly weigh-ins and support along the way. I've been losing 6Ib and putting them back on again like a yoyo for so long! Overall I'm pretty healthy but have uncontrollable urges sometimes which is my hindrance. I also enjoy a drink with my other half at the weekends which doesn't help, liquid calories are so fun but so evil!

    Heck yeah sign me upp! I'm Emily, I'm 63kg and trying to healthily lose weight that I gained in a long term hospital stay. Hosp food makes you gain tons. I usually eat fairly healthily, but sometimes my vegan brain gets a bit restrictive. I'm aiming for a bit more stability and would live to be in a group!

    Hi, I am Sharron and I d like to be a part of this group. I have had a few stressful events in my life. Presently I am dealing with 2 college age children and their drama and living with someone who has chronic health issues who does not see the importance of exercise or eating healthy. So whenever I try to stick to a exercise regime or eat healthy he is not very supportive. However he is a good husband and father.

    I am currently using an Aptive app which is a running app. That seems to help. I would like to have a check in group.

    I'd like that! I'm 38, getting ready to get married soon, I've got about 58 more pounds to lose and I've been definitely cracking the whip where I can.. Which is not easy because I have back and leg issues.

I have been off and on MFP for many years, finally buckling down and trying to really commit to logging everything and seriously get back into consistent exercise and portion control (my diet is fairly "healthy" but I snack quite a bit and eat large portions. looking for more "friends" for accountability and motivation! I am about 215 lbs, 5'3". Weight has fluctuates quite a bit over the past 20 yrs. Have lost over 60 lbs at one point to then gain 80lbs 7 years later. High of ~232 lbs low of 136 lbs.

    I am also interested in joining this group. I'm a 45 yr old teacher with the summers off - I lost 10 lbs this summer but have 10 more to lose. I'm worried that the stress of the school year will cause me to lose the good habits I've maintained this summer. Feeling accountable to a group would help motivate me to keep going. Thank you!

    Just going to throw this out there... for me, it would be really useful to have a FB Messenger group of ladies to easily check in with throughout the day... if anyone else is interested in this, please send me a message in Messenger and I can start a group chat. I've attached my FB name and pic to make it easy.

    *Note: please don't add me as a FB friend... I keep my list small intentionally, only people I know IRL :)

    Never tried to post a pic on here before, fingers crossed it works!
