Hi, to those who have been sending me messages, yes this is still open. Feel free to comment so I know you've read the post. :) No shame in trying and reaching out. This group is unbiased and non-judgmental ❤

I get up at 3am most times of the week, and hit my exercise zone by 6 or 7am until 9am, I don't have WhatsApp though but feel free to add me. I agree on waking up early = better overall daily outlook. I just noticed that I feel more ready than any other days when I didn't wake up as early as I did.

Thank you! Really means a lot :)

Here's the group if you're interested: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/113922-the-olive-table-fitness-accountability-group

My fitness coach says it is normal. I plateau'd around the same time as you are at 115lbs. If you are serious on this goal-setting, try joining my accountability group. We have a fun-loving community who supports and gets you by. You can message me about it and I'll send you the link. You are right about focusing on other…

"The ship can only sink if there is water within." I know how hard it can be, but maybe it is time now that you focus on yourself rather than what other people say about you. You'll live happily and much fulfilled/contented with who you are & where you are. Here's what I did when I started to hate my job because my boss…

My diary is open and I also give motivation and support for my friends ☺ would be enchanted to have you!

Today I'm grateful that my daughter can make me smile even though it's hard to curb my bad moods sometimes. Grateful for the strength I have everyday because I can still do the things I want. Grateful for the mind that can make wonderful ideas, grateful to people who believe in me and grateful to those who trust I can…

I'm running an accountability thread somewhere here. Feel free to add me & join us!

Been using MFP since 2012, and that's one thing that really sold it for me. The community is astounding. When I started back then, I had little to no support or the friends I had weren't as active as I was so I wasn't as motivated. My comeback last 2014 & this 2016 was stronger because of the many inspirational stories I…

The challenge is in my MFP profile. It's open to my MFP friends. We can talk more about it on the inbox or Snapchat if you have one ☺

Me! I'm from Philippines but anyone who's friends with me on MFP knows I'm big on motivation and accountability. I'd love to swap insights with you. ☺

Hey Korifox100! I'm hosting accountability challenges every week. If you really wanna stick to your goal, I'd love to evaluate your progress and swap insights & feedback with you!

Let's keep each other accountable! I log daily and would love to support my MFP friends. I give motivation and help audit you too. Feel free to add me on here and on Snapchat

Just did a 3 mile run this morning. Would love to have another sprinting friend! ☺✨

Hey there! MFP buddy here ☺ If you need accountability, let me know which area you're having a hard time with. Let's inspire each other ☺

Are you getting enough sleep? Could be a major cause. You have to stick with your goal no matter what but I agree on one of the feedbacks here. Motivation is overrated, because discipline + action really gets you there. Think of it as motivation as the fuel to a car (your goal) but discipline and action are breaks and your…

Yup! 138lbs down to 110lbs. Congratulations on your baby! What workout do you do? Would be nice to have more mommy friends on MFP. ☺

Hi Jessica! Add me. I'd love to help! First of all, cut sugar or reduce it. Drink more water after you wake up and before you sleep. Carbs is good provided that they're in moderation. You can do intense workouts in 20 minutes and still have the whole day for your other activities. If you need an accountability buddy, feel…

No man is an island, and if they are they can only go as far until the ocean washes over them. That's how I'd put it. People have different needs and have different preferences, self motivation is one thing but if there are factors that could threaten that (I.e. depression, chronic problem) then a support validates the…

Hi there! I know how it feels. I've been on a postpartum rollercoaster (which thankfully have gradually decreased) but I would love to help you out and support you in any way through MFP!

I've struggled and is overcoming depression. I even have a blog (http://www.earthloveskin.com) and Snapchat to help other people feel better while on the road to their passion and dreams. Always wanted to enable people and to better the world, mine would be... "I Know My Purpose" (considering the slug line from the guy…

Great idea! Currently at my 33rd week here as a pregnant mom and I'm expecting to give birth sometime late Oct to mid Nov. Was advised by OB to lose weight for normal delivery. Not sure if I should go for no epidural but want to try. I say go for it. I had been using MFP since 2012 but stopped and I wish I used this when I…

Hi Marianna! Not sure what you mean by point-based foods but what MFP does is track your calories (+ / - ) and you can level it with the exercise you're doing. So even if you're eating a lot, by equalizing it with exercise you'll eventually come to a breakeven. I've never had a problem with weight loss cause I could lose…

Looking for diet buddies too! Would be fun to encourage each other for support! Let me know if you have Twitter as well! It's always nice to find friends with common interests!

Single mom to be here! @ilovejoedirt - will send you a friend request! Hopefully the more social support we have, the better we are at using MFP and succeeding in the program! Feel free to add me but do send a message where you found me so I know which thread you came from.

Hello everyone! Was looking around for some pregnant friends too! I'm 33 weeks but OB told me to diet (only gain 1 lb a week so as not to have a hard time popping the baby out!) Feel free to add me! Would love some preggy buddies :) If you have Twitter let me know! (@iriszio) see you!
