Not so newbie, looking for friends to help keep me motivated

Alittle bit about me. I am 35 & a mother of 4 children. Back in 2004 I got down to 140, but then boom.... I gained weight like crazy. I started up again recently going to the gym and watching what I eat. My starting weight was 170, currently I am 165 and my goal weight is between 130-140. I would really love to get friends on here that are motivating or even mothers trying to lose weight like me :)

    Hey I have been on here for several months but not actively searching for friends and motivation. I have decided I need the motivation so am looking for friends too. I also am a mother of 4. You can add me as a friend.

    The support on this site is amazing! Feel free to add me :) I am not a mother but I am carrying around an extra 100 lbs or so and to me that is the equivalent to lugging quadruplets, 2 on each hip! :laugh:

    Hi! I was a member for a while and did not have any friends. I finally reached out a few months ago and gained a few wonderful friends, then again last week with another push for friends and gained a few more wonderful friends. If it weren't for my friends I would definitely not be as motivated!
    Feel free to add me. I am 34 and weigh 156, I wanna weigh 135....When I started here though, I was 170.....
    Good luck with your journey :)
