Hi there, I am a 44yo mom of two trying to lose 15 pounds that are keeping me from my ideal body. I am not overweight per se, but I have been dissatisfied for years. I am active and love to work out; I just have entrenched bad habits around food. I would love to find one or more accountability partners who may be in a similar situation. Bit plus if you're a mom who has a sweet tooth :).

    I’ll be your partner! I’m trying to lose 31lbs in the next 4 months. I’m also not necessarily overweight but I am according to my BMI. I started my weight loss journey on Monday and I’m trying to stay strong. One week down, and I’m just taking it day by day. I switched to. High protein diet and hop on the peloton bike everyday. Tracking my meals, calories and macros is helping already. Let’s do this together 🙂

    Would love to join in, I'm a 37 year-old mother of two, very busy with kids, work and school but want to make time to exercise and maybe stop eating so many unhealthy things at work!

    Should we make this a party of five? :D My goal is weight loss in stages. Frankly, I'm SO tired of going up and down the scale. Like you I am active and I love working out. I am also not a big eater...so I tend to lose weight at a decent rate. Like "glafleur"...I don't really see myself as overweight but according to BMI charts I am. I know I would feel much better at my max BMI. I started my weight loss journey (again!) on September 10th and I'm happy with what I have accomplished so far. :)

    Would love to join too. I had two under 2 and my youngest is almost 4 months. I’ve been exercising and lost all but the last 10, but diet, especially at night, is a challenge. Last night I ate a third of the Costco size bag of kettle corn 🤦🏼‍♀️

    If you are looking for a friend in the same boat. I'm a 46 yr old mom. Sweets, check. Need to eat healthy and exercise, check. 15+5 lbs to lose 😉
    Besides the age, it is like I'm looking in a mirror!

    Please send me a FR if that is what you a looking for. I wasn't sure if this was just a discussion board join or looking for friends. I'm looking for friends to have on my news feed. Hope to hear from you!!

    Hi everybody! I have reached some success! :) I last posted on October 5th. Last Tuesday...after exactly four weeks...or one month...I reached a reasonable goal! I lost one additional pound and 4 inches. The largest loss was one inch from my hips. I lost 1/2 inch from other key areas. Bust, waist, thighs, neck. And a little bit here and there. :) I also increased my goal weight for this current cycle a few pounds. So now...these are my stats. I'll report again next month...November 8th.

    TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS IN ONE MONTH....6 POUNDS AND 4 INCHES :p
