Need to lose 40 lbs... Need a buddy?

  • I'm 28. I have 3 kids (my most recent born in December). I'm 5'3" and weigh 163. I have done weight watchers two times before and was very successful (35 lbs & 20 lbs), but I'm having a hard time getting motivated to start exercising this time around. I think it would help me to have someone to be accountable to.

    I'd like to lose a total of about 40 lbs, so I have 36 lbs more to go. Any takers?

  • Hi there Heather,

    I would love to buddy up. But I have one problem...I can't seem to get motivated. It gets me pretty bummed whenever I see the numbers on the scale. I lost 15 lbs so quickly by doing WW at home and I found it so easy, but I'm not sure what is going on right now. The weight slowly crept back up and here I am again.
    I am 35 yrs old and have 5 kids. The oldest is 13 and the youngest is 4.
    Our heights and weight goals are quite a bit different but I'm sure our end goal is the same. To feel great and get in shape.
  • I'd be with you guys!

    I have about 40 more to go ... have lost 15. I'm sort of in suspended animation until 9/7 (big big big work deadline), but I'm still tracking.

    I'm 30, no kids, but two cats and a husband and an apartment that seems to be self-destructively messy.
  • Hey! I'd like to buddy up too! I'm 27 (28 in Oct) mother of 3..my newest was born in Nov! I also have a 4 and 11 y/o. Let's do this! I weighed in at 188.4 this morning, my first goal is 160. I started Sunday and already lost 7lbs. some of that has gotta be water weight, but whatever it was it's NOT coming back!
  • Hey there,

    I'm still around, hoping to keep each other motivated and maybe give a big push or two. Hopefully after this busy weekend I can get it together and stop in every day or two to keep in touch and let each other know how we are doing.
    Have a good weekend and enjoy summer while it lasts!
