I have lost 20 lbs in the last year, but I'm looking to really go full force now. I would like to lose 60-70 more. We just relocated to the Nashville area, and making friends is hard when you are a stay-at-home mom plus I need people to be accountable to besides myself. I have 4 kids, and a wonderful husband and I just want to feel better about myself.

    Hi,

    I'm in a slightly similar situation to u. I'm originally from Scotland in the uk and have moved to France with my fiancé. I only work one day a week and spent most of my time alone in at home. It hard to make friends because of the language barrier . I do believe this kind of situation makes it hard not to comfort eat etc but I'm trying to kick those bad habits!

    I'm not sure if ur kids are at school but if they are, try to get to a gym while they are and maybe you might meet friends there :)

    I'm fairly new, started January 8 and have lost 11 lbs using Fitness Pal. I just love it. Funny, all the diets we have been on (me oh, since I was six!) it always comes back to the basic counting calories works!
    Good luck everyone! We can all do this!

    Thanks everyone! My neighborhood has a free community gym, and the only time I can go is at night when my hubby's home to watch the kids, but no one is ever there, which is kind of nice, but lonely.

    My 3 children are 19, 17 and 13 and I want to get back to my pre baby weight! I've lost a bit of weight over the last 2 years but people are noticing the difference this year now I've joined mfp and started running c25k. I've started to believe I CAN do it!

    I'm a stay at home mother as well. I've lost over 40lbs since Nov. 2010. And I have about 20 more to go. Add me if you'd like to. I'm here is you need me!
