    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 ladies! I'm 35 with a 3 year old little boy! I was back down to pre pregnancy weight within 6 weeks after his birth due to breastfeeding but once I stopped after 10 months I have gradually gained to my highest ever at 180. I want to get down to the 150s!! I got this!

    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.

    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.
