    What a great group of ladies! I'm a 36yo single mom with a 7yo - I log my meals, eat very healthy most of the time, and work out, but fall into unhealthy habits that are causing me to gain weight and feel gross (that didn't cause so much of a problem when I was younger, but I can't get away with them anymore!) I'm looking for accountability partners to help me stay on track - add me if you are too!

    Hey! I'm 31. I have a 2.5 year old and a 5 month old baby. Gained around 50lbs. with my pregnancies and now I'm working on losing them. I'm eating around 1250 calories a day and I started the Couch to 5k program and I'm doing a weight training video at home twice per week. So far, it's going well. I'm hoping I'll stick to this!

    I'm 37 and a mum of four - 13 (g) 11 (b) and 7 year old twins (b/g). I work full time. I've lost 150lbs or so and been maintaining for two years. I got qualified as a personal trainer and now I'm trying to also build a PT business on top of everything else, while also losing the last 20 lbs or so that I'd like to go!

    I'm a 36yr old mom of kids age 13, 7, and 6. I also work full time and my hubby works shift work, so am on my own for half the month. I've had success using MFP in the past, but fell off track for a while. I am setting to refocus, mainly focusing on strenghth training and building up my running. I have 25Ibs to lose and would love to get some friends in a similar situation. My friends list has also dwindled over time!

    This looks like a great group! I peeked in and started reading before I realized I turned 40 in May, still having a hard time admitting that I guess. I am a momma of 4, work, and going back to school myself. I am here for my own sanity! It is hard for us busy moms to make the time to take care of ourselves but I am starting to learn it is crucial! Add me if you would like! We can do this mommas

    I'm 37 with a 3 year old and 5 year old and I'm expecting again in beginning of January. I also work full time. I feel your pain. It's so hard to stay motivated. I'm not logging right now, but I'll have about 40lbs to lose after baby is born and the initial pregnancy weight comes off. I'm good about exercising, but crap about my eating and beer habits.

    I also tend to fall into the attitude that I'm old, and a mom, and there is just a certain level of fat that I can live with. lol. Before this baby I was flat stuck at 190lbs. I'd dip below it and then a couple weeks later be right back up. Apparently that is just the size my body likes. I'd ultimately like to weigh closer to 100 than 200. Seriously could be happy at 145lbs. I'm 5'4".
