in Motivation and Support
I just had my second child 4 months ago. I'm looking for support and motivation to keep me on track.
I'm traveling for the holidays with a toddler and a baby so I know it's going to be hard to stay on track with the stress and lack of opportunities to try to work out; not that I do that every day.

    Congratulations on the new one! :) I have a 6 month old myself. The stresses of kids and family make it hard sometimes ( at least for me) to make a nice healthy meal and be able to just sit down and actually enjoy it lol makes bad choices seem a lot easier. If you need a friend, I'm here :)

    Thanks. I try to make healthy meals but yes it is hard. I find Mac and cheese to be easy and my son will eat it; so I end up eating it too.

    You can add me. I'm on MFP almost 1,800 days. There are ups and downs but this site keeps me from totally losing my mind or waistline

    Hi. I've had 3 kids. I am done having kids and now trying to get my body back. I have 60 lbs to lose so looking for motivation and support. I've lost 14 pounds so far still have 60 to go. Want a healthy lifestyle not just losing the weight. So could use all the support once I start to hit all those plateaus. Anyone can feel free to add me. We could all use support.

    I'm so excited to have so many people with me on this journey. I'm sorry I have not responded yet, I'm getting over a stomach bug and now my son has it. My app would not let me complete my journal yesterday since I only had toast. But I logged it in today, as I logged in my soup for today, trying to stay up with it.
