Feel free to add me. Congratulations on your progress so far :smile:

Hi Keya, feel free to add me. It took me a while to do the whole "friend" thing, but it's really made a difference for me. Hope it helps you too!

Add me! It's sad when I see the "______ has not logged in for 3 days". I'm hoping that A) that won't be me, and B) if it is, one of my friends will remind me how hard I worked to lose the weight, and get my butt back on MFP!

Mom of three teens here, and hoping this will be my last as well! It is a struggle isn't it? I have to say, knowing people are "watching me", in a positive, supportive way has been fabulous! Feel free to add me.

Feel free to add me! It sounds like you're doing great, but I think the exercise will really make a difference!! You can do this :)

That's the beauty of Zumba (there's always someone less coordinated than you!) :smile:

Hmm, what kind of salad? I'd love to co-motivate! I'm in a good place right now with my weight , and this is where I tend to let down my guard. I'm looking for ways to stay focused but not crazy. Unfortunately (for me), my husband is one of those naturally thin people who uses food strictly as an energy source, and if he…

You can friend me! I did it on my own for a while, and then thought I'd give the friend thing a shot. I have to say, I think it really helps. I've found a few very supportive people, who understand my struggle. Give it a try, I think you'll be surprised!

Added you! Anyone else who needs a friend, feel free to add me...we CAN do this!

Feel free to add me, I'm here for you (instead of chocolate) :)

First, congratulations on your weight loss, that's fabulous!! Haven't you ever heard people say "losing weight is the easy part, it's keeping it off that's difficult?" Maintenance is really hard. I'm a lot older than you, and I've successfully lost weight a number of times. Some times I've been more successful at keeping…

That's awesome!! Good for you. It certainly gets harder as we get older doesn't it! Here's to you, and your successful journey!!

Wow, although I stopped breast feeding my 14 year old 13 years ago :), I feel your sadness. Breastfeeding my kids was one of the highlights of my life. As other posters have said, the feeling is compounded by your hormones. But don't give up...think of this journey as a gift to your kids. You'll be healthy and strong, and…

Hi! You can add me. I'll email you if I don't see you check in for a few days...I was hesitant to start the "friend" thing, and I have to say it's been great. I have a few friends who have been really supportive, who understand the struggle. Good luck!!

Oatmeal! You can add all kinds of things to it (my favorite right now is Trader Joe's Pumpkin Butter and a tablespoon of walnuts), 1 minutes 30 seconds in the microwave, Voila!

I know I'm probably going to get a lot of grief for this, but here's my question. Why would I spend an hour at the gym burning 500 calories, to then consume an additional 500 calories? I go to the gym everyday, shoot to burn about 500 calories (wear a HR monitor that shows calories burned), and on most days do not eat…

Add me! 51, lost the weight a few years ago and managed to gain it all back plus some.

Kate, I think with your great stats and picture, you're a little intimidating! Not going to share all my info, but what I will share is that I've lost 24.5 lbs, and have another 16.5 to lose. I have done New Rules off and on, but haven't been able to stick with it. I'm attempting to give it another go now that I'm a little…

Trying to lose the baby weight from my youngest (who is 14)! Being a working mom sure does make it more challenging. I work for my husband (an attorney!), so I have a lot more flexibility than most, but it's still hard. I say the more friends the merrier, and you never know who is going to help you along the way!

From one yo-yo to another...feel free to add me...we can do this! AND keep it off this time :)

You can add me!

Just click on the person's name and then you'll see where you can add as a friend. I added you :) Good luck!

You can add me...

Hi, feel free to add me, it's a great app that's easy and fun to use!

You can add me! I have a daughter your age, and think it's GREAT that you are going to start this exciting new time in your life feeling fabulous about yourself.

I can use all the motivation and support I can get! Add me!

Me too! Add me!

I made pumpkin muffins (it's just a spice cake mix and a can of pumpkin). I got 24 small muffins, and they are 73 calories each. A great fix for something sweet. I put them in the freeze so I don't eat five in one sitting!

Would love to participate!

I'm new as well, and would love some my fitness pal friends!
