NEW to 3FC looking for buddy - 40+ years old from VA

  • HI,

    I am a mother of 4 and am starting my weight loss journey tomorrow morning. I don't know what I weigh yet and I am scared to get on the scale. I know it is 200+. I just don't want to know what the plus is.

    I will be weighing in first thing in the morning. I am looking for someone who needs to lose 75 - 100 pounds. I know I am probably in that range. I am 42 years old and have 4 children. I really need the accountability of having a buddy in the journey. I was very successful with weight watchers after my second child because you had to weigh in every meeting. Having 4 kids now, it is impossilbe to make a meeting. I am also more motivated doing this with someone.

    Anybody out there interested?

  • Hi Renea and welcome to 3FC.

    Good luck with your goals.

  • I guess asking for a buddy or either being 40 is the kiss of death. Only 2 views and 1 reply. Oh well!! I'll move on to weight loss support.

    I can still do this.
  • You can do this!! I'm the same age as you roughly and started my weight loss journey when I turned 40. As you can see, I've met my goals. I did (and still do) WW and I exercise. I know that it would be hard to go to meetings due to your family, but you need to make yourself a priority. The meetings are only 30-45 minutes. Could a family member watch them so you could make a meeting once a week?
  • Welcome and good luck!

  • Hi Renea, age 44, Mother of 5 children. I started my journey on 6/1. I count calories and walk 3-3.5 miles on the track or with Leslie Sansone. It has truly made a difference in my life. I am on an accountability thread here that I post on everyday as well as quite a few others and chat with some wonderful people. 3FC is definitely the place to be. I don't meet your criteria of 75-100lbs but I wanted to say hi. Best of luck to you with your goals.
  • Welcome Renea, we are glad you are here and wish you great luck
