In Need of Motivation and Buddy!!
 

Hey all. Im Latavia, 22 year old mother to a beautiful 7 month old little boy. Im 5'4 and weigh 170.8 now. I need to lose 30lbs to get to my desired weight. My biggest problem is being motivated, SO im looking for a weight loss buddy who's very much motivated to lose weight and that will help motivate me to lose weight..:)

I gained 39lbs (162) during pregnancy which put me at 201..I lost down to 185 which I was stuck at for a while, now im finally at 170.8...

I'm here for ya!
 

Really, I'm in Memphis too! I have a daughter who will be three in Nov. and my son just turned one! I know what you mean about motivation. I am feeling great right now because I just finished exercising! I've been at it now for two weeks. I know that it is hard to find time to exercise w/ a little one. If you want a buddy I'm here for ya! You can send me a pm /. I am happy to have someone from Memphis here!
I am at my heaviest weight since having my children. I was 170 before having kids. I've lost ten pounds in about two months. I don't follow a diet - I do try to eat healthy. But my main thing is exercising. I am finally getting there. I've found some awesome support here. I hope the same for you!
Take care!!

Hey girl sorry I've been MIA lol by the way I stay downtown in Harbor Town.. Congrats on your weight loss :) I wish I was losing weight lol I've missed like 2 days of working out :( but im ready to get back on track..Tommorrow I will continue of where I left off on my workout plan..
Do you know any good areobic tapes?? I do have Walk Away the pounds 1 mile and WATP and Kick tape..

Tapes?
 

I want to get some of those salsa dancing tapes, but I think I'll wait. I haven't tried any, though. I need to try some. I haven't been able to walk in the daytime ( my sweet children are driving me insane!). I have an exercise bike. I've been biking for about an hour. Not the same as walking. I really love walking.

I hope you get back on track! I am trying to up my exercise. We'll see. Keep going girl! I'll check on ya soon!

Girl Im trying to get myself back on track it's so hard.. Imma start over fresh I mean my eating habits are on track Im doing great in the food part its justthat im lazy.. Im maintaining at 170 only because i've been lazy these last couple of days :( :( I am happy that I haven't gained anything as a matter of fact i've lost like 2oz :) thats better than nothing..

let's go...
 

I hear ya! I haven't exercised is three days. My kids have been sick. It's still an excuse, I know. But I am exercising today, come **** or high water!!! This is the real test for me. Usually when I stop for even a day - I never get back on track. Not this time. I've come to far.

Throw on your running shoes. Make a deal w/yourself. Do atleast ten minutes exercising (whatever you want). If after ten minutes you are done, then stop. But if you feel like doing ten more, do it! Just start today!!!!

hope you get back on track!

Hey girl he was supposed to have surgery on his little private part I can't think of the correct name for it.. I have to reschedule it because he /has been running a fever for the last 4 days, His fever has been 100.8-102. I took him to his pediatrician and they said he has a cold virus :( my poor little man He's doing alot better.. How are you?? How are the babies doing?? :)

Aww
 

Poor little guy!!! I hope he is better soon. There are so many colds going around here! My daughter is better. MY son was better and now he's either teething or getting an ear infection. I am taking him to the Dr. tom. if he's still not feeling well. I haven't been able to do much exercising. I do what I can when I can. I am so ready to lose some more pounds! I think I am going to w/o after I finish here. How are you? I hope that you are not sick, too!

Have a great weekend!

Hey girl. Im just getting over a serious cold. I took Kam to his Pediatricen and they gave him a flu shot. He feels alot better now, still alittle congested though. This Monday im going to reschedule his surgery, since i've finally got his fever broke(thank god)..

Now with me and exercising LMAO i've completely stopped because I've been to busy with caring for my son SO today im starting over once again :)..As far as weight gain, Im still at the same weight, NO LOST or NO GAIN.Im finally able to start getting myself back on track today..

Im glad to hear both of babies are doing better :).. Awww poor little guy, I hope its just teething and not an ear infection for his sake I hope baby feel better..Anyway how are things going??

Hello!!
 

:wave: Hi girl!! Glad to hear from ya!!! I hope Kam gets over his cold soon. Atleast the fever broke and he can get better. My son is teething!!! His molars are coming in, four of them! It figures, we are going on a trip in a week!! I am getting the kids their flu shots soon. It can't hurt anything, right? I hope that you are feeling better, too. It's difficult (try impossible) to workout when the little ones are sick. I haven't lost anymore weight. I have stayed the same. But I am getting back on a routine again which is good. I hope the same for you. I keep wanting to but new clothes but I refuse until I start looking good. I settled on a new purse!!!

Keep exercising & take care of yourself.
