Hi!

Just joined a couple days ago, looking for some friends to help me stay motivated!

Got a long ways to go, final goal is to lose about 85lbs.

I'm a single mom with a toddler, as well as a full-time student, and trying very hard to also get a full-time job, so my days are crazy, but I'm determined to make some changes this year. :)

    Hi Julie224 :) I've just joined, must lose this weight!!! My kids are grown, but I have grandkids (3 yrs & 1 yr). I really need someone to keep in touch with and be accountable to as well.

    I need to lose about 40 lbs, I'm currently at 29% BMI, must get this down as well.

    I am a (female), bagpiper. I have a home gym in our basement that I love. 2011 had be in bed for a total of about 3 months with an illness, ankle surgery & an unexpected emergency gall bladder surgery, none of which helped the weight thing!

    Hope you'll add me to your MFP friend list :)

    I am looking to add friends too! we all need support in weight loss!
    Feel free to add me as well, and I hope you all don't mind if I add you too!!!!

    I am an (almost) 33 year old with a nine month old and 50lbs or so to go.
    I have myself on a 130 day plan to lose 40lbs. That is 10lbs a month.

    Gotta look good by this summer as I REFUSE to keep my son from activites because of my insecurities.

    WE CAN DO THIS!!! This is OUR year!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi there!

    I'm a (nearly) 33 year old mum with a 13month old daughter. I've been on MFP for a few months now and really enjoying it. I've lost a few pounds but still want to shift about 8-9.

    Feel free to add me if you'd like!!! I'm Mel!

    Wow, hey everyone!

    I'm working on adding everyone, if I missed you, add me! :)


    I say 85lbs because a few years ago I did succeed in getting down to 130 and I felt healthy and looked great, but we'll see what it takes this time. :)

    Welcome!! I'm in my second week here and have done the full-time single mom, full-time student, part-time worker thing, so I know how little time you seem to end up having. Now I'm 39 and my son is now almost 16 and I'm engaged and I stay at home. Now it's MY turn!! I'm working my butt off any way I can. I don't have much weight to lose but I have a long way to go to get in shape.
    Feel free to add me!!
