Need motivation from active friends as well. Add me.

I so need accountability. I'm in my 40's, 5'9", 270, and I have a major sweet tooth! Any ladies looking for support and accountability, please add me.

I so need support, motivation, and accountability. I'm excellent in providing those to others but hard to apply it to myself. I'm 45 years old and I regained the 50 lbs this past year. I have at least 100 lbs to lose. Add me as your friend and let's get this year started right!

Hello Everyone! I am 45 years old and I have 100lbs to lose and I sure could use some friends to help each other stay accountable and motivated. I have been on this journey for a few years with a lot of ups and downs, but I'm finally get back on track. I don't have a special date that I'm aiming for I just want to be…

Hello! When I originally started my weight loss journey, I weighed at 315. I lost 67 lbs but then life was throwing me a bunch of foul balls and I found myself regaining 45 lbs. This isn't where I want to be and I would love to be able to support each other as we go through our healthier us journey. I don't have the…

When my emotions are running high and I want EVERYTHING that's not good for me, I turn to low carb alternatives. For example, when I'm really stressed with work and school I normally want salty foods like Cheetos. So instead of reaching for a bag of Cheetos I reach for cheese and pickles. I know that sounds weird, but I…

I'm an over eater... and an emotional eater.. I sneak food in when I'm under a lot of stress and it's mainly some type of pastry. :(

I'm 43 and live a very stressful and busy life. I need motivation and support to continue on my healthy me journey. Please add me! :)

Good Morning! As I wait for my sytems at work to load up, I have a feeling they don't want to work today because it's been ten minutes and I'm still waiting lol, wanted to say good morning and hope everyone will have a great day! Oh! I'm 42 and I'm loving every moment I'm learning what my body is capable of! :)

Thanks for the responses, and I apologize for my delayed response. Yes, I do believe it was time for me to replace my shoes. I recently purchased a new pair of running shoes, I went to a store that had me run on a treadmill so they can evaluate me, (I so did not know that type of service even existed), and OMGOSH it's…

I'm 5'9" plus I wear heals from anywhere to 2" to 4" I always get asked out by men who are either my height or shorter, and then have issues about my height on our first date. I SO don't get that! It's not like I was disguising my height... Maybe someone can answer that for me. lol

You are more than welcome to add me, and anyone else who's reading this and need support, can as well. I try my best to log in my food diary as often as possible, but there are times where I get so caught up with my homework, I don't even think about it. lol I know bad, but I am honest. :)

It took a picture of myself for me to "see" I am I needed to do something, because up to that point, I knew I was overweight, but I never saw how bad it was until that point in my life. It was an innocent picture, I was having fun catching up with my family I haven't seen in years, but when I saw my image, all I kept…

I COMPLETELY understand where you're coming from. I worked in the customer service field for over 10 years, it is very trying. However, currently I am a Contract Specialist for a large corporation. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE MY JOB!! I'm in my happy place! :glasses: (Yes, I scrutinize the written word for a living! Hahahaha!!)

Absolutely! I love a man in kilts. Very sexy! :)

Thanks guys! This really helps! I have been going through a lot of stress - I work full-time and I'm taking 5 classes this semester, so the stress factor is definitely there. I have been flaky on my eating, I won't lie about that, but I am back on track. I think the one significant change that has happen on my diet is me…

You guys can definitely follow me! Mekatluvr is my ID. :)

First and foremost, you have to stop. Seriously. You know it's not good for you, you know it's not good for you to eat so much close to bed time, depending on what time you eat your dinner, and you know that by doing this, you'll get into the self-loathing talk. (I know this because I went through it.) What I did to help…

First and foremost, Congratulations! I know it has not been easy, it hasn't for me, and I'm glad you toughed it out. Thank you for posting, it has motivated me even more to keep going! :)

Everyone deserves one day to relax and enjoy themselves without constantly counting calories. I allow myself one day out of the week where I don't count calories, and I do not weight myself the day afterwards because all it does is bring me down and with it self-loathing. Quiet frankly, that's not fun! lol So do yourself a…

Definitely more vegetables, and if not, I add flavor free fiber powder, like benefiber, in my yogurt, protein shakes, and anywhere else I can think of to meet my daily fiber intake.

This is something I have on my monitor at work when I see the IT guys munching on chips, one of my weaknesses, or some lady in the office brings donuts, damn them! SELF CONTROL 1. Stop 2. Think 3. What could happen? 4. Is that what you want? Before I know it I find myself saying no to the donuts, and quietly cursing their…

We all need motivation and support! Add me to your friends list. I'm always looking for friends to help each other accomplish our goals.

1. The Fighter by Gym Class Heroes - Every time I feel like stopping because of blah, blah, blah, blah, this song will always come on, and it keeps me going! http://youtube.com/watch?v=bxV-OOlamyk 2. We Found Love by Rhianna featuring Calvin Harris - It has a really nice tempo to keep me running.…

Cheetos, cheeseburgers, fries, pastries...

Oh my yes this one! But I no longer care. I'm there for me, and besides, I always out perform the one who's looking over my shoulder. I may be chubby, but I can work it! lol
