Hi guys! Just joined up today and I'm looking for some buddies! I can't promise I'll be on everyday as I'm busy busy busy (but who isn't??), but I'm giving it a wholehearted go this time. I was 242 3 weeks ago (the heaviest ever!), and I'm down to 232 as of yesterday. It's hard to stick to a structured diet and exercise plan when you're surrounded by screaming kids and chicken nuggets! I've been counting calories (1400) and fitting in 30 mins of cardio most days (OK - I'm being totally honest because that's what this is for, right?? probably 3-4 days of the week), and most importantly, am excited and hopeful this time around!

Hey chicky!!! Welcome!! I just joined here to. I am a mommy of 3 I could use some partners to. Lets keep eachother motivated... im about 248 I want to be at 165 ... (Im 5'7)

Hey there Wyominghotsauce! Do you use MyFitnessPal? Congrats on your loss so far! I have two toddlers, so I feel you on the screaming and chicken nuggets!

Yeah I think thats the hardest thing...cooking with kids...Im tryin to get them acclumated to a healthy lifestyle with me but I can deny them all those treats and chicken nuggets ect are so easy for my hectic life

Hey welcome! Sounds like you're off to a great start! I'm not at the chicken nugget stage yet, my daughter is about to turn one in a few months. I'm hoping to avoid that part and just bring healthy snacks for her but we shall see. So good luck! I hope we can all lose the weight!

Welcome and good luck on your journey!!

I need help. I need friends. I'm so alone and have no friends. Just my husband. I am in a midlife crisis. I quit my job in january. I'm a nurse and not even sure I can be a nurse anymore. I have no motivation. I'm broke and depressed. We don't have enough money for me to buy healthy foods.
Please someone help me, I want to live again.

Congrats on the weight loss. Keep up the great work and you will reach your goal

Hey hot sauce, your doing great. If you increase your walking to 45 minutes you will start burning your fat stores. I do my fitness pal and count calories too.

Hi WHS glad you're here! congrats on the weight loss

Welcome to 3 fat chicks, wanttoliveagain. I am new here too, im sorry you are feeling so down, motivation is hard to come by, I get mine by looking at myself naked in the mirror. Lol... scares me into moving, I know how you feel, I do not have many friends, I work too much, I am in retail, so its me and my guy, when he's at work, I work out, just start by walking, take awalk each evening after dinner, not only good for your body but clears your mind. Make a goal to try and walk every day, I hate exercise, but after a brisk walk I feel charged up.
Welcome to the group. When your ready you will go back to work.
