Hi ladies. My husband and I have been ttc for almost two years. We have had one pregnancy and miscarriage. Now we are awaiting fertility treatments. Our consultation won't be for at least 6 months. In the meantime, I'm trying to lose about 20 lbs. I'd love to have support from others in a similar situation. Feel free to…

Hi everyone! I'm 30 and have about 20 lbs left to lose. Would love some accountability partners. Feel free to add me!

Husband and I will be trying for our first soon, but I'd like to lose a little more before then. Feel free to add me if you're in a similar situation.

I'm 29. In Canada as well. I have about 10 or 15 lbs left to lose. Feel free to add me!

W5D1 completed yesterday. It felt great! I had oral surgery today and as per doctors orders - no exercise for a week. The 5K I signed up for is in 10 days..

I set weekly goals for myself. This week it is: Hiking once C25k twice (I know it should be three times..) Biking four times Fitness Blender twice Lifting light twice Yoga twice And a squat and plank challenge I made for myself five times Once my routine changes at the beginning of July I'm hoping to get back to a fitness…

I'd like to be part of the group as well. I'm 29, I have 20 lbs to lose to get to my initial goal weight, and could definitely benefit from more support. Feel free to add me!

I'm an elementary teacher in Canada. I have another 20 lbs to lose before my initial goal. My biggest struggle is my lack of energy at the end of the work day. It has been leading me to make unhealthy dinner choices. Feel free to add me!

I'm an elementary teacher in Prince Edward Island. :) I have been focusing on my health for the past few years and have been using MFP off and on for a while. Feel free to add me!

I'm from PEI, currently living in BC. Feel free to add me! :)

I'm just under 5'4". Looking to lose another 20 lbs or so. I'm not sure on my goal weight yet. Feel free to add me. :smile:

Yoga is part of my everyday routine. I do it on my own and with Yoga with Adriene videos. I'm relatively new to it, but I am loving it!

I workout at home as well. I do youtube videos, fitness blender, and equipment I have at home. I've been pretty successful so far. Feel free to add me!

My daily goal is 1560. I'm not usually hungry because I eat quite frequently through the day and I try to eat back my exercise calories. Feel free to add me!

Hi all! I'm 5'4 and around 170 lbs right now. Hoping to lose at least another 25. Would love to have more friends with similar goals!

The amount teachers get paid and the amount of overtime varies greatly depending on where you are. I'm an elementary teacher in one of the lowest paid areas of the country (Canada), and I work long days, and every Sunday, getting everything ready for my littles. I couldn't imagine doing anything else though.

I feel the same way! A lot of my friends on here disappear on the weekends. Feel free to add me!

I struggle with weekends as well. I have trouble when I don't have a routine. I tend to overeat and put off working out. I'm working on setting up a weekend routine so I can be more successful. Good luck!

I can relate. I lost some weight, met my now husband, and gained it all back. I'm working to get rid of it again. I have 30+ lbs left to lose. I'm often motivated for a week or two, then I tend to slack and need a kick in the butt. Feel free to add me!

Friday is my rest day and weigh in day as well. Feel free to add me!

Congratulate yourself every time you say no to snack you want but don't need. It can feel very satisfying. Pack lots in your lunch so you aren't hungry when you're offered the goodies. If it's something you really want, indulge a bit. Take a small serving and fit it into your daily goals. Good luck!

I'm of little help to you, but I can empathize. My husband and I moved from PEI to BC where we knew no one. It'll be tough but you'll make connections and find the right gym and shops for you when you get there. Good luck!

I also struggle with willpower. My suggestion is to take it one day at a time. Set up small daily goals for yourself (ex: Today I will drink 8 cups of water. Today I will stay within my calorie goal. Etc.) and work hard to reach those. Choose new goals every morning. It's what's been working for me. Good luck!

My only advice would be to buy a heart rate monitor. It comes in very handy. I just did yoga and burned about 100 calories more than MFP said I did. I never go with the MFP suggested calorie burns; a heart rate monitor is more accurate. Good luck!

I love this idea! I'm going to start doing this everyday and hopefully it can help to keep me on track. Just for today... 1. I will drink 10 cups of water. 2. I will get the rest I need to get rid of my illness. 3. I will eat within my calorie goal.

On Friday at work I sat in front of freshly baked apple crisp and ice cream and resisted while everyone around me had some. It felt great to have the willpower to say no to food I didn't want! This is coming from someone who never turns down delicious food. Even if I'm not hungry, I usually eat it.

Try them and see what you enjoy. I use both Tae Bo and 30 Day Shred. Both have benefits and by switching up my routine I don't get bored. Good luck!

I'm from PEI but currently living in northern BC. :smile:
