Hello. I am new to this. I am looking for support and meet new friends, maybe someone to talk to or workout with, etc. I am a single mother and have no real friends or family. I have been focused on my weight loss goals and trying to be strong going at it alone, but come to realize I would love to meet a friend who has something in common with me. Any and all support would be great. Thank you!!!

    I only have 2 fitness pal friends and could use a few more. Its nice to see posts and positive notes. You can add me if you'd like. I'm trying to loose 30 lbs so I can start running again. Too over weight right now and I keep re injuring myself when trying to push myself to run. I have been cal counting on n off for the last year. I think I am pretty serious this time. I have been counting since 12.26.11 and have lost about 5 lbs. Good luck to you. Its hard to focus on yourself when your a single mom, but you can do it!

    I'm definitely not new to this and I find myself in the same type of situation as you. My husband says he will work out with me and make good food choices with me then brings home frosties and French fries after he gets off work! LOL!
    So I have no one to work out with and I don't have any friends that are as committed as I would like to be in my area.
    Welcome!

    Hi. I am new here too. I have one friend so far. I tend to be leary of friending people because of bad experience on other social sites. Bit I would love to have some friends who didnt judge me and sent a positive message when I needed one. And I would love to do the same. I am trying to lose around 50 pounds. My biggest problem is I am a stay home mom. But when the kids are at school and I am alone, I believe I may eat out of boredom or lonliness. I am very bad at getting the exercise going too. I say I will go for walks but I cant seem to get motivated. Hope to talk to ya soon!!!

    Feel free to add me. I'm looking to lose around 50 lbs. I'm an engaged stay at home mom looking for support wherever I can get it. The people around me say they support me, but can sometimes unknowingly sabotage me.

    Hey there!
    New here too and looking for accountability buddies as well.
    The last time I dieted I tried a bulletin board system, which was great for the support and friendly atmosphere. Having people to talk to and share experiences and recipes with was wonderful, but I didn't really track my food intake very well, so I ended up failing. :(
    I love the idea of having tracking, journaling and the social aspect all in one place, so feel free to add me, if you'd like.
    Looking forward to a healthier life in 2012.
    Cheers!

    I work but like so many other threads I saw here I do not have a huge support group. I too began this for myself but was supposed to be buddying with my spouse whom ducked out early realizing exercising may be involved. It would be great to have people to talk to that are going through similar experiences.

    I'm new to this sight at well, and the way I see it is, the more friends, the more motivation, and being held accountable. Please, add me if you'll be supportive, and I'll do the same. I need MOTIVATION........and I think this is the place to find it. :) Good luck!

    Yeah for all of you! I am not exactly new to the site, but I have been procrastinating. Don't really know what was stopping me, but had a real "OH WOW" :noway: moment last week and realized nobody is going to do this for me! I would love to have some accountablility to others who are fighting the same demons. Please feel free to add me!
