I’m looking at the holidays that way too, and wanting a couple more friends with similar commitment/goals to chat with regularly. I’m down about 47lbs. Right now I’m focusing on hitting that 50lb mark before Christmas. Then next year I’m planning to work off another 60 or so. I’ll add you.

Ohhhhh I SO relate. Just sent you a message.

Congrats on the 45lbs! That’s fantastic! I hear ya on the lockdown weight. Motivation or not, the time is going to pass anyway... better to look back in a month or two and say “at least I did something” instead of “I wish I’d done something.” Oh, and GO HOKIES!!! 😉

I did a 60-day free trial of the mossa move app. I’m now doing a 30-day free trial of the LesMills on demand app. I’ve also been using the C25K app to get back in to running.

I’m 3 weeks and 7 pounds into my MFP recommitment. I lost 40lbs in 2013 and it was amazing! MFP really works when you stick to it! Then babies and moving and life derailed that and I’m starting over. Would love some new friends for the journey!

Same same

Wow! That is fantastic! May I ask your start/current weight and how long it took you?

I don’t do fb either. MFP is so much better. Sadly much of my friends list has gone silent, so I’m reading the boards today looking to add some new friends. I’ll add you.

Hey! Those are great goals. I’m looking for some more active friends. I’m 25 pounds into a 100 pound goal, and sadly, most of my friend list has gone silent. I’ll add you.

🙋🏻‍♀️ I have four kids ages 4 to 11. I homeschool them all, coach their sports teams, and teach music classes for 87 students. Mindset is everything! You’ll go far with dedication and a positive attitude!

Welcome! Friends are the best part of MFP! I’ve been active on here daily for over a month now and would love some new friends!

Central Virginia here. Close enough? I enjoy your sense that of humor. And also carbs.

Congratulations on the new addition! I have 4 kids ages 4 to 11. MFP is definitely better with friends. I’ll add you.

To add a new friend from your thread here, click on their profile picture first. Once there, click on their name again. That’ll take you to their profile where you can hit the little person with a + icon to add them.

I’m a mom in a similar goal range. I’ll send you a friend request.

Happy Birthday! Welcome to the cool kids’ club.

I'm 36. Close enough? I homeschool my four kids ages 4-11. I go to the gym three evenings a week and play in an adult soccer league on the weekend.

I’m a SAHM too. I have 4 kids ages 4 to 11. I’d love to have some more mom friends.

Yes! I’m scrolling the boards looking for buddies today for a similar reason. I’ll add you 😊

Hi Kenisha! Virginia here 👋🏼 I have a “first goal” too. I was feeling very defeated thinking about how much weight I wanted to lose overall, so picked a goal that feels more achievable. I’m playing mindgames with myself 🤣. I’m 10lbs into it with 30 more to get to that first goal. I’ll add you.

Last week I committed myself to logging everything I ate for 7 days in a row no matter what - the good, the bad... the date night buffet 😬 I was less inclined to grab a chocolate here and there when I knew I had to log it. It also encouraged me to make some swaps for fewer calories/better nutrients. Now that that week is…

Thanks manderson27. That’s really helpful. I was having trouble figuring it out, too.

I’m a small-town girl living in a lonely (MFP) world! I’ve logged everything for a week - isn’t that how long they say it takes to develop a habit? But I haven’t added any friends yet. I would love some accountabilibuddies!
