in Introduce Yourself
Dear fabulous, frustrated, and fellow fat friends I am right where you are! I am motivated and determined but that will only get me so far. I need people in my life to share the ups and downs of this process with. My nickname in grade school was shamoo and I have walked around with that title in my mind for far to long. I have already lost 48 pounds total but I still have another 30 to lose and its getting harder. I am thinner now than I was in high school but I am still not where I shoud be. Who will step up and join me? Who is willing to be honest, open, and real with me? I promise to offer the same in return. I am a mom of four who is trying to discover who I am and who is inside of me before my 30 birthday on July 27th and I so desire someone or a few someones to help me in my quest!

Love,
This Mom on a Mission!

    Hi there,
    I'm an American living in the UK, but am on myfitnesspal everyday now--so please add me! I've got two kids and want to lose the weight (another 30+lbs) before I turn 35! Sounds like we are in similar situations!
    Keep up the good work and lets support one another!

    Feel free to add me. I just lost 40 lbs. Want to lose at least 40 more. I am 51 yrs. old. I have 3 grown daughters, one of which is your age. She will be 30 on July 8. We can do this. It's all about a total lifestyle change. W can cheer each other on. It gets discouraging at times I know, especially for me when I dont see the scale change. When did you star your weight loss? I started Feb. 1. Keep up the good work!

    :) I'd love to share your journey with you. I'm aiming for 10 lbs first, then if that works, going for another 10. The goal is to be the best me I can be by the end of the year - losing all that gosh dang baby-and-laziness fat! - so I know that I, for one, need all the support I can get!

    Hey y'all!!!! I'm a mother of 3 and wanting to lose some wt. In Feb, I was at 175#. I'm 38, 5'4" and a small frame. I comfortably fit into a 10/12:( That was more than when I delivered #3 almost 10 yrs ago. So, my baby fat is not my prob. I have created my prob w/ fast food and "working out"- that consisted of walking about 1.5 miles a couple of days a wk and occasional aerobic dvd's. I thought w/ that much exercise, I could eat ANYTHING that I wanted and still be size 6! HA- I was dead wrong!!!!! I started Body For Life in Feb and since then have lost 12#s on the scale. I've lost several inches and gained about 9#'s of muscle. BUT, I have learned more since Feb about nutrition and exercise than I've ever learned in my lifetime. When I became accountable and really started eating clean and seriously exercising, the weight started coming off!

    I love forums and accountability partners! I am in and will share all of my slip ups w/ y'all. It's comforting to know that you are not the only one in this boat. Because, you tend to feel like you are.
    Good luck, God bless

    I turn 30 in June, and just realized I'm about 30 pounds heavier than I thought I would be at this age! I have 3 boys under the age of 12 and would love any friends I can find to help me reach my goal! Good luck on your journey, it sounds like you're doing great so far!

    I figure the more friends and support that I have, the more motivated I will be which will help me lose my weight. I have about 30 lbs. to lose. I am a 50 year old mother of 2 daughters and I am also a grandma of 1 grandson. I already sent you a friend request.
