Day 5 going strong!

I am on day 2 I would like to check in for support if this gets going!

I have been working hard on me for over 10 years. It is crazy the ups and downs and twists and turns. During this time I have discovered that I am motivated through social interaction. I mean the times in my life I have stuck with something or accomplished things I had to have a strong social connection to make it work.…

I had 3,300,00+ in 2020, I would be up for this! I actually had the goal already set for 300,000 a month so that actually works out to almost the same! Good luck! Sounds like an awesome goal! We should check in every once in awhile and see how things are going for each other!

I have lost almost 50 pounds this past year but it was a lot of walking and less gym or weights, I was definitely on my knees doing push-ups last February. March -September not much strength training. Then October -current strength and cardio. I personally think the biggest factor that lead me to be able to do unmodified…

Hello group. I am 42 and am a busy momma. I have 4 kiddos 2 adult children and 2 teenage/preteens. I work and am just finishing my degree so have lots of flux in my life but try hard to maintain some sense of order and discipline. That is my constant struggle so these groups and MFP help me with that in general. I have…

I would like to join with a 10000 step goal. I am busy with work, kids and school so not sure how often I will check in at least once a week. Just have had my tracker since the 6th so my steps so far. 12 March 12070 11 March 10536 10 March 10220 09 March 11669 08 March 6044 07 March 12715 06 March 141

About the same weight to lose add me if you want. I struggle with gain then lose then gain cycle. I let emotions control what goes in my mouth. Awareness is the first step would love the mutual support.

Evamutt that is a good reminder to us all. Arfester I don't think it should have to be a leader just thought maybe we could get this board started up again.

Awesome! Thank you for reaching out with this group, it sounds like exactly like I would love to part of.

About the same here. You can add me if you want. Good luck on your journey to healthier, happier you

I having thinking how badly I need a daily check in buddy. I have struggled for many years with about 30 to 45 extra pounds. 5 years ago got to about 15 pounds and would gain and lose 15 pounds for the next 4 years. That was until last year when all the stress caught up to me and I put on 50 pounds in about 4months. I feel…

Recently my teenage son and myself have been visiting with a therapist for some depression and anxiety issues. It has been very enlightening. This idea of "motivation" came up. I thought his response was pretty dead on. Motivation is an illusion so to speak it is not something you are just going to wake up and have it only…

Good morning!

Awesome to see ladies in a similar stage in life. I 41 with 4 kiddos, job and school I feel so much better when I give myself time but it is always the first to go. Any of you please feel free to add me! I have used mfp on and off for the last almost 5 years. With it I am happier and healthier. The support helps me stay…

I am about old enough to be your mom but I can relate to your emotional struggle. I was exactly there for the last couple months. Our health is a journey. I even thought of getting a daily texting buddy to have some support and accountability. There is lots of support here. And being aware of what is going on in your heart…

Got your message and I am in thank you!

Super awesome!!! You look wonderful!

Well thank you both for the support. The day went well after I had my little emotional breakdown this morning. It got worse before it got better but I just need to plan better for big gatherings like that. I know taking care of myself and trying to look nice will make a big difference I just can't budget the added expense…

Thanks for sharing your journey. You are so close to that goal. Hope you can enjoy the new life you are giving yourself!

Awesome job!

This is so what I need. Please add me if it is not too late. I have a weigh in from last week and planning to weigh tomorrow so would be right in track with the rest of the group.

I would love the mutual support. 41 year old mom of 4 here. My kids are quite a bit older but still would love to motivate and support!

Always inspired when I come here it would be great to see some updates from some of the original posters! I have had a rough year and ended up 20 pounds heavier than ever and gaining 50 pounds just the year. I am grateful to those that share here and inspire the rest of us to keep on plugging away.

Super cool. I had the same beginning of your story at the beginning of this month, my body just felt like it was mad at me... I had gained so much weight in such a short amount of time. Slowly working on finding a healthy happy routine. I love how simple your story is, keep up the great work!

I love reading these introductions and seeing so many with losses already. I am just under 5'4 and have not dared the scale yet. I have been here on and off since 2013. I need the support I am a momma, work and go to school. And I just turned 40. My health is my most valuable asset and I am ready to try and claim it! I am…

Hey welcome, I am back again after a hiatus, my advice to stick with it is take advantage of the logging features. Even when you are not happy with your eating or exercise or weight, log anyway. It helps so much to be mindful of what you are doing with your body and health and logging gives you specific feedback. I always…

Keep your chin up.... that is a tough situation! It always hurts when it feels like someone has been dishonest with us!

I think mini goals are a great idea!

This looks like a great group! I peeked in and started reading before I realized I turned 40 in May, still having a hard time admitting that I guess. I am a momma of 4, work, and going back to school myself. I am here for my own sanity! It is hard for us busy moms to make the time to take care of ourselves but I am…
