Suggestion for a group (39 years old, mother of two boys)

Susiej1976

I am 39 years old. I am a mother of two boys, 5 and 9. I just had a Hysterectomy and have been working really hard on my food and logging. I just started walking a little as my doctor allows. I will be back to my self in a couple of weeks.

I really need suggestion for a group to join. I also need some motivation. I would really like to be under 200 lbs. My current weight is 233. This is my heaviest weight.

Thanks,
Susie

Hi I am 35 years old and mother of three, ages 4, 2, and 1. I would like to get a hysterectomy due to some medical issues but I have to lose weight. I weight 280 currently. I would love to join you ladies in our quest to a healthier lifestyle. I am in need of some motivation too and would like to cheer others on.

I'm 38, 6 and 9 year old kids. I had a hysterectomy about 3-4 years ago.
I'm 50lb heavier than pre kids and feeling like I can't stick to anything. Determined to drop the weight, just need a support group, something to hold me accountable!

I agree that support groups are vital! I have lost 35lbs since November and the number 1 thing that helped is my support/accountability group. Granted I have not had any kids because I am a guy lol. I have a toddler that keeps me on my toes. The support group I am in is on Facebook and there are about 40 or so of us all trying to be healthy and fit. If you want to join us, let me know and add me as a buddy!

I am in the exact same boat. Mother of 2 girls, 34 years old, and recently had a hysterectomy. I weigh 229 right now and my first goal is to be under 200 (onderland). I am down 27 pounds over the last year or so, but making a BIG push right now to be under 200.

We have very familiar stories. I was thinking about starting a group. What do you think?

Susie.... Add me )))) I can't find your group!!!!

I would love to join your group!

I'm 38 and mom to three boys (14, 8 and 4). Depression runs deep in my family, and given that I'm very overweight (at 260)...depression hits me often.

I have started exercising and have found endorphins amazing!!!

But I need more support!!

Did you all end up keeping up with your group? I tried to find it because I'd love to join!! More power to young 20-somethings looking to get their bikini bods back. I remember that time well. But I'm just at a different stage in life right now. I'm 33 with a birthday this summer, have three kids ages 6 and under, and want to get back to a weight and shape that I feel comfortable in.

I FLAT OUT REFUSE...to spend another summer feeling ashamed and embarrassed in my swimsuit. I want to go to the pool with my kids and feel comfortable to sit by the side of the pool, to walk from one part to another without a towel, and to play with them.

I'm 25 pounds overweight. 35 pounds would put me in dream weight territory. Even just 10 pounds down by summer would leave me feeling and looking better at the pool.

I did start my own group. It is called Strive for progress not perfection. Great group of ladies.

Easy way to find it is to copy and paste this hyperlink.
