in Motivation and Support
So I started MFP a few months ago and lost 11lbs, I was really feeling good about my progress. Then baseball started for my son and I went from working out 4-5 times a wk to maybe 1-2 and not eating very healthy with 3 games a wk. I gained back 7lbs:( and I am determinded to get back on track. I am looking for more support and others to keep motivated with. Anyone who is looking for some friends on here feel free to friend me.

    I just sent you a friend request. I have two boys too.....5 and 4, both involved in t-ball/soccer. Finding time is tough, but lets have our own little challenge for the month of May? Work out minimum 5 days a week!!

    I am only new on here, I need new friends too, to motivate, support and share in our weight loss journey.
    I have 3 boys and 2 girls. My problem is not sport related but work related. Miss 14 has just started working and Master12 has taken up a letterbox delivery job, and "mum" has to drive them both around everywhere. My husband works away 1 week and home for 1 week. the week he works away I am basically a single mum with 5 kids that have to go everywhere with me. Some nights we don't get home till 8pm so meals are hard to organise at this time of night. We were having lots of take a ways, which I have cut out now.
    I will send you a friend request :)

    Hi everyone! I would love some new friends as well! All of my 'real life' MFP friends have fallen off the wagon :(

    I'm 27, mother of 1 (he'll be 2 in July). Trying to lose the baby weight, even though my 'baby' isn't really a baby anymore, haha!

    Need some friends too. Have spent the past week on MFP, reading posts/success stories, gearing myself up for the "I WILL start tomorrow", but that tomorrow was 3 days ago and I still haven't done much/anything. My alarm is set for 5 am everyday, giving me ample time to do one hour of something, yet I lay there with no motivation to get out of bed until I have to start work. Holding myself accountable just isn't working. Hmmm....

    Yep, I could use some more friends also. I love being able to interact with the friends I currently have and the ability to encourage each other, it helps keep me going :0)

    I live in Florida with my husband and our super energetic 4yr old little boy. I'm a Vet {veteran} and I work full time :drinker:

    I too am a mom of two, though mine are a bit older. It's so hard to find time to take care of yourself when you have a family to care for but it is necessary. We want to be around and healthy to continue to care for them, right?

    I'd love some more friends too! I started before and all of my friends were really active and now... I don't know where they are but they aren't on MFP.

    Feel free to add me but be forewarned I have a silly sense of humor and sometimes a potty mouth. :D
