I need online encouragement! I spent over an hour looking at various online weight loss support sites and then i thought, well hell - im always on mommysavers...!


I need help! I need sisterhood! I need other chubby chicks to vent, lament and cheer with me! Anyone? anyone? Lets get organized and be accountable! Im finally ready to not be the big cow during the summer again!


Anyone!??!?!!

I"m In!!!

Love your enthusiasm Kelly! I hope others will follow suit!

So I started on this site to find coupons but I've come to realize that I need more. I need sisterhood. I need encouragement. I need someone to kick me in the a**.

I'm with you. I'm not sure how much longer I can call all of this "baby weight" and get away with it. Soon they will stop saying, yeah but you just had a baby. What I'd really like (in my dreamiest of dreams) is to appear this summer in a cute bikini and have them stare in amazement. But I'd take a cute one piece, too!

I'm ready to go. Joined a gym this week. Haven't been there yet but I hear it's nice, lol.

So how does this work? Do we just post randomly or are we checking in weekly or what? I've never really done this.

We do a weekly check in on Fridays. There are only a few of us left but we are pretty reliable. Stevesgal is our moderator over here and I think she has some new challenges lined up for us for the New Year. I bet she will be posting soon! Stay tuned....

Maggie is right about that ! There will be something new and exciting coming soon to the Health, Fitness & Weight Loss forum section - to help motivate and keep us all accountable! It will probably be starting in the beginning of the year and I am hoping that we have a really good group that will be focused throughout the upcoming year!

As maggie said- stay tuned.....

I am with you all! I need support desperately bad. I did really good with Weight Watchers (lost 52 pounds) after my son was born and kept it off for 3 years. Now I have this thyroid problem and have gained the weight back and it's not coming off. I can't afford to go back to Weight Watchers and like everybody else, I spend a lot of time on mommy savers. Count me in!!!

Not too long ago Kelly we did a program called WORK OUT BUDDIES. It was a partnership program we mods set up so that members could have a buddy they could share stories with, report to, hold themselves accountable, encourage and motivate. It was successful for awhile and then it fizzled out. If we can get the chat feature up and working again, I'd LOVE to bring it back and have a group wide CHAT each week along with our weekly check in (courtesy of Stevesgal). The discussion threads we had each week were great too. We had hot topics or problematic struggles we discussed and shared ideas about. I really like that. But again, the attendance started fading partway through and it stopped as well!

So if there is interest again and we have people who are GOING TO STICK THIS OUT, I'd be more than willing to set something like that up again.....Just let me know!

I'm still a newbie 'round these parts, but I would definitely be on board! I'm 4 months post-delivery and I would give my eyeteeth to lose at least 10 pounds and I'd be uber happy with 20...exercise is so completely foreign to me right now, so I could definitely use some support.

I'm in!
