I had lost a total of 50lbs... then i started school full time again, on top of juggling a 2yr old and 40hrs of work... i just gained 10lbs back...i really need to get back on track..... i have 4 friends on here... i think i need more support to keep me motivated.....when it is much easier when my best friend was logging on like me but i can't get her to do it anymore.... i am looking for others who can help me continue my journey.

    hi i would love to help you ... and 10 lbs could only be fluid which is easy to take off... it looks like you do alot of running around, when do you have time for your self?

    Feel free to add me! Support really helps. And I know how easy it can be to get off track while going to school full time.

    That's true, I forgot to mention that I am also in school full time, it does make things even harder, doesnt it....

    I am new to this. I have been signed up for months but have just gotten on here today because my friend has lost 32 pounds using this site and good eating and working out habits. I would be more than happy to be your friend and to help encourage and motivate you. :smile: Congratulations on your weight loss this far! :happy:

    Sent you a friend request. It sounds like you have a crazy busy schedule! I work full time and last year also went to school part time. Between my schedule and my own laziness, I've put up quite a bit of weight. Let's hope we can motivate each other to improve our health.

    HI! I've been on here, but just started to get serious! I need motivation too! Would love to encourage you!

    I work part time as an RN, have two teenage boys (always driving to one sporting event or another), married, and just got a new puppy who is also keeping me busy. WE MUST TAKE TIME FOR OURSELVES!! Otherwise we wont be any good for our family!

    And dont be so hard on yourself!! You've lost 50 lbs!!! I have just started and have 60lbs to go. We can do it. Good luck to us!!

    I'm new to the site and would love to be your motivational buddy as well as have you be the same for me! I'm a new mom (can I still call myself that when my little girl is almost a year old) and am desparately wanting to get back into working out, eating right, etc. I make excuses about not having time but the fact is I just don't make the time. In the morning it's too rushed and at night I'd rather spend my awake time with my baby! By the time she's in bed and we've gotten ready for the next day, I'm too pooped! I'm trying to work out a little on my lunch break at work but could use motivation as well!! We can do this!!!!

    Hello, I joined the programme yesterday and still 'feeling' my way around the site. Initially it looks very good and reasonably easy to use. Looking to having friends help me discover the best way to use the site and keep me motivated x x x hugs x x

    You can do this! Everyone here is so awesome for support. I only joined MFP a week ago and I'm hooked. I love the people, the advice, the food diaries, etc. It's a great support system and motivator!

    The best part about this site is that everyone is in the same boat! So we can all relate to one another and help each other!

    You're not dreaming! Totally do-able!

    Chasing around a 16 month old will burn you some calories right there! :)

    In all seriousness though, it's definitely tough when you work and have a child. It makes it much more demanding on you! But as soon as you see even the smallest of results, it'll keep you going and inspire you to do more. Gotta start somewhere right?
