    Hi Liz and Cath
    I'm Rox - I'm 9 yo and have two children (5 & 8). I work from my home for my husband. I've lost ~35 pounds over the past year and looking to lose much more in 2015. Lets encourage eachother along the way. I lack in everyday support, too so I know a kind word or timely advice when you are struggling - even from strangers - can be motivating.

    Hey ladies, I'm also on board trying to lose as many pounds as I can. My doctor too told me according to my BMI, I'm obese and need to lose the weight.
    Add me as a friend if you can. I believe we can embark on this journey while keeping each other accountable.

    Hi! I'm starting a new goal of clean eating and regular exercise. I have a 2.5 yo toddler and work full time. I'm using Fit Girls Guide as my inspiration to start with losing 10 lbs, but more importantly than the number on the scale is that I want to FEEL BETTER! Hope to connect with a good support network here!

    Hi! I'm 33, I have a 13 year old and 5 year old. Both girls. My husband and I both work full time. I weighed just this morning, 150. Started at 154 about 3 weeks ago. My goal weight is 130, but I've been yo-yoing in the 150s, if I could just get to the 140s I would be soooo happy. I also started about 2 weeks ago to train for a 10k. I've been running for a while now, but my friend just asked if I would do this race with her. I decided that is probably the kick in the butt I needed. :smile:

    Hi, Liz and everyone! My name is Justine, and I'm a full time student, part time worker, and mom of an 8-year old boy. My current weight is 179, and my ideal weight is a muscle-y 145-150. I used to do several bootcamp classes a week through the exercise program at my old job. It was so convenient, and I miss having people poke my abs and say, "Wow..." My health has seriously tanked since quitting that job and returning to school. I want to get A's in my classes *and* have time/motivation to exercise like I used to. My son and I are going to try running together because he wants to build up his stamina before starting soccer in May. I like my tabata interval training for strength training too, but I always have such a hard time just getting started.

    Hi, I'm a mother of two, 5ft 2in, started at 163lbs two weeks ago, looking to lose 40lbs. Cw is 156. Would be happy to add some friends for support and encouragement.

    Our stats are almost identical! I'm 5'2", started at 162 (well that's the weight I plateaued at after having my baby in February). CW is 155.4 and I'm looking to lose 30 lbs.

    I'm the mother of 3, a set of 5 yo twins and a 11wk old.
