Hi all! 45 mom of 3 here, looking to lose 50-60 lbs. (we'll see how I feel and look with 50, then another 10 if I feel like I need it!). Would love to make new friends with the same goals, please feel free to add me!

Going through the same thing here - my metabolism isn't near what it used to be and every pound is a struggle - gained a lot during vacation too and now back on here trying to lose it all this time!

I'm "curvy" and I love my curves. I'm losing weight to be healthier, not to lose my curves (which I've always had anyway, even as a size 2). Confidence at any size is key. THAT is what is sexy. I'm gonna wear my 2 piece on the beach regardless of what other people think, because *I* think it looks good on me (husband does…

My teenagers don't have a meltdown for no apparent reason

I wouldn't stress it as long as you budget your calories for it and are still getting enough nutrition from real food.

This. Taking meds for a brain chemistry imbalance is absolutely no different than taking meds for say, high blood pressure or any other medical condition. The sad part is that this is so misunderstood and meds for depression are looked on as "different" or a "weakness" of some sort. Bullsh*t. If your brain chemistry is not…

As a reward when I finally hit my goal.. A grey fox wrapping around my ankle sleeping on her tail in a bed of wildflowers (so the tail wraps around my ankle then back under the sleeping fox, curled in front of her). Hopefully sooner rather than later!

Chocolate and salt cravings gave me my lovely lunch today of dark chocolate M&M's and crackers... so much for willpower!

I'm 43, and on every day - feel free to add me!

I just looked at this post and it helped me figure it out: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/931670-bmr-and-tdee-explained-for-those-needing-a-guide - that helped a lot with the BMR and TDEE

My diary is open - feel free to add me!

Cool tatoo

Very dirty Martini, 2 olives, made with Tito's

I'm 5'1" and working on losing 65 total - 23 in so far! My diary is open & I am on here a lot (too much? bored during the day!) - Anyone feel free to add me!

I just got my Fitbit Flex a couple of days ago, and I like it so far. It interfaces really well with MFP for most things, except I did have to manually enter some exercise into MFP that was not step/high activity based (belly dancing). I'm still trying to figure out all the taps for the different things, like the alarms…

Thank you!

Feel free to add me, just started logging again in the past couple weeks & my diary is open, Always looking for new friends to help motivate each other!

Add me if you like, just starting back up again too!

Add me if you like! I just started again as well :)

This. Or a vodka/diet coke - but the dirty martini is WAY better :)

I have a glass of wine almost every day - just make sure you log the calories from it!

I just budget the wine (or whatever I happen to be drinking) into my calories for the day and make sure to try and eat healthy the rest of the day (and take a multivitamin!)

I'm just starting my second week after coming back after a few months off of here - I keep eating the same foods every day too (more or less). Would love to be friends - add me if you like!

LOVE the diet! I think I'll join you on that one! Cheers!

5'1" (almost!) with about another 40lbs. to lose! Feel free to add me!

Add me as well - trying to get more friends on here too!

Kind of restarting again too - Feel free to add me!

My Dr. prescribed phentermine, it works great but you really need to have your Dr. monitoring it, and need to go off of it every few months for a month for it to continue being effective. Most days I have to force myself to eat to get enough calories!

You can add me if you like as well! I'm a mom of 3, back on to get healthy and take care of myself instead of just my family. I'm always looking to give and receive motivation!
