Friends for Motivation

edited October 2024 in Motivation and Support
Hi all! I am relatively new to MFP and I'm looking for friends to keep myself motivated. I am 25, married with 2 kiddos under 4. In the last year and a half, I have moved from my hometown to my husband's hometown. This was a difficult move for me - it's a small town with many friendship circles already formed and they aren't really willing to let an "outsider" in. I have my husband and his family for support in my weight loss journey but I'd like a bigger support group to keep me on track. I am wanting to lose 35-40 lbs. My family has a lot of health issues and I don't want to fall victim to those things so I am making myself a healthier person. I am also starting a gluten free lifestyle in the near future (In the process of testing now) so that's a challenge on top of my weight loss. Any friends to help keep motivation would be great!

    Feel free to add me. I understand that moving to a new place and starting over is a big transition. Hopefully, you'll be able to make new friends and find a great support community here on mfp. Good luck on this transition into a healthier lifestyle. I support your commitment and I believe you can do it. Best wishes!
