busy mom trying (again) to lose the weight

mamamiaof3 · November 2011

I lost 40 lbs a few years ago, but this year I let 20 pile back on. I am trying to regain my motivation and not give up completely on fitness. I struggle to stick with my goals after the newness wears off. I would like to exercise consistantly, monitor my food intake and stop emotional eating.

I want to join a challenge group, but they all seem closed or in the middle of the challenge. Any suggestions to find and join one? Also, I'm looking for some mfp "friends" to help keep me accountable.:flowerforyou:

Contact someone in one of those groups and let them know you want to join. There are always people dropping out. And if you get on their waiting list when they start up a new one they will notify you.

Id love to help. I am starting a p90x challenge group on the 15th and your more than welcome to join! I think most would let you jump into something underway as well. What are you looking to do challenge-wise?

Other than that, feel free to add me...ive been known to nudge folks

I just joined myfitnesspal today and can totally relate with you. Last year around this time i started a boot camp with a trainer and a few other people, i lost the baby weight that i had been wanting to lose and i got in the best shape of my life. Unfortunately I got way off track over the summer and have gained all the wieght back. I too would greatly appreciate having accountability and challenges. I'm not sure how all this works just yet, but i would love to talk more.
