Not new to trying to lose weight...Seeking weight loss buddy
Hello Everyone !!! I'm a sahm to 3 wonderful children. My youngest is 3 months old. Just to give you a little history about my weight issues. I never was skinny growing up. My mom is a fitness instructor & took nutrition classes. We always ate healthy & she always pushed us to exercise . But my mom also struggled with her weight. My weight all throughout high school & college fluctuated. It wasn't until i had my daughter did i have a hard time losing weight. And if i did lose weight i could never maintain it. I suffer from seasonal depression, pre-diabetes, & i overeat especially sweet foods. I'm looking to finally slim down ( lose about 65 pounds) & keep it off for good. Any one interested in being a buddy we can email back in fourth, talk on social media, & on the forum !!!!
ps. please excuse any grammatical errors/typos lol

Hello Mama Dee! I'm pretty much in the same boat...I've struggled with weight my whole life, and now I'm bigger than I've ever been. I'm ready to make a change, so I ordered my first shipment of Medifast...it should be here in a few days. I am committed to sticking to it so I can lose at least 60 pounds. Anything more than that would be a bonus! I now have high blood pressure, I'm tired and sluggish all the time, and I get winded easily. I'm tired of feeling bad so this extra weight has GOT TO GO! I'd love to email/chat with you...it would be great support!

Hello girls,
I am on journey to be healthy. I have been also overweight my whole life, although I think I was too hard on myself looking back. I should have been happy at my weight in high school (165 or so) but have never had good self-esteem. I gained weight in my 20's and 30's (90 lbs.) lost weight because of bad health and have since gained 40 lbs back. 2 days ago I turned 45 and I don't want to repeat the cycle. I need to join a buddy group. I think you can never have too much support.
Thanks, Heather
I'm in the same boat-- been struggling with my weight my whole life. I'll win some battles, but eventually I lose the war. I would love to be a part of a support group. Perhaps, if I have some folk to talk to or to keep me on track, I won't run out of steam and resolve before I reach my goal.
Wow, aside from your mom being a fitness instructor, we could be twins! I need to lose about 65lbs and am a big sucker for sweets! They have been my downfall! I have 3 kids, mine are older than yours, and I have been overweight since the first one...eehhhmmm....17 years ago( well, ok, almost 18).
I'm new too. I'm a stay at home mom to 4. I really don't have many friends, especially none that need to lose weight, so a buddy would be great! I would like to lose at least 75 lbs. I definitely didn't have healthy role models, but I have tried a couple times to lose weight just to quit shortly after. I think due to lack of support. I'd be happy to be a friend good luck!!
