Noob needs to add friends-Mom losing weight.

Hi! I am a 36 year old Mom trying to lose all the baby weight from multiple pregnancies. Looking to add a few new friends.

I have been on MFP for about two months. Lost 15 pounds. SW:227. CW: 212. GW165.
I log daily and am learning to love running. Currently do 2 miles daily. My goal is to run a 5k soon, and a 10K this summer. I love my family- husband and eight kids (yup, you read that right!)the outdoors- gardening, hunting, fishing. Very motivated to lose weight!

Added some friends in the beginning, some of whom have fallen off the program. Anyone out there looking to add friends?

    Me! I am a 30 year old mother of three. My goal weight is also 160-165. I'm 5'8". Starting weight was 194 and I'm currently at 182.4.
    It is also my goal to run a 5K. I used to a couple years ago, but then got massively out of shape again. My current 5K time is 40 minutes. I can't do it without walk breaks though, so that's my goal. It's hard to find time to run though, since I always have to be pushing a double stroller, which is even harder now that there is snow on the ground!

    I enjoy giving support and encouragement.

    I am a 40 year old mother of 2. Doing a 5K or 10K is a long way off for me but I do love to hike which is part of my cardio routine to help me get back into shape.

    I started again on MFP a few days ago with a start weight of 291.4 and am down 3 lbs so far. I am hoping next summer I will be in good enough shape to join a beach volleyball team.

    Wishing you health & happiness
