I'd love to lose about 25 lbs. I need some extra motivation.
I'm looking for someone who will communicate with me daily via email and we can give each other encouragement to stay away from the wrong foods, exercise more, and applaud each other's successes.
I've been doing somethin similar with my housekeeping (thank you yo'ma!), and its great!
PM me if you're interested.

Oy, with a name like Frenchfry I'm getting discouraged already...on the other hand, dh says groisamomma is not much better 
If you still don't have a partner, I'll gladly give it a shot. Need encouragement on this end, that's for sure.

Groisamomma, just so you know, every time I see your screen name, I think of a big, tall, broad woman

What's MFP? I need to lose around 80-90 lbs. and dh won't hear of the band. I need major help here.
For the record everyone, I chose that username because at the time I was big but on the way to losing major weight, you know, so I felt confident that since it would soon be a thing of the past I can make fun of myself.
Ha. Now I'm extragroisamomma.

MFP = myfitnesspal.com. It's a very helpful tool. Also an app on your smartphone. Tracks your calories, progress and exercise.
I'm on MFP, how do I find fellow imamothers?

Ohhh, someone posted something about it here a few month ago. I was so jealous how motivated people were. She provided a direct link. Something like myfitnesspal.com/imamother or am I making that up completely?

That is sort of why I choose Squishy for my screen name. When my son innocently came up with the name, it made me realize how fat I was.
I am reiterating what everyone else is saying here. We have a very supportive group of frum ladies who will hold your hand. It helps to share your menu with other ladies. I find just having to log in a cookie will make me not eat it. It really really works.

Can anyone sign up? Do I have to share my diet, weight and calorie intake? Or can I just read and get motivated? How does it work?

Anyone can sign up. You don't have to share anything. I find the more you share, the more support you get. Sign up with a different screen name than here and no one will link the two unless you do. The program will ask you to input data and it will suggest a daily calorie goal. To be effective, you log your calories each day. No one knows your weight and goals unless you post them. The amount of weight you loss gets posted if you want.
You can also read public topics and learn things.
Personally, I get motivated from targeted feedback. Atta girls work wonders keeping me focused.
