Wow, 1 year old twins? I'm sure they keep you on your feet! I find it hard to take away time for myself when I feel like I should be focused on the kids. And my kids are older! Do you have that same problem?

Ive been busy training for a marathon (im not a fitness fanatic, or guru or anything, in fact I hate running, And I started the training not even able to run a mile. I had a friend ask me to do it with her, so in my training I had a different friend ask me to do a different one with her so I did do 2 marathons but they were very very slow) now that those are over I plan on focusing more on what I eat, which Im really struggling with. some other stuff about me
Age-29 (almost 30)
kids-4, 3 boys and 1 girl
work- Work a full time job and a part time job (only 2 more weeks at the part time one)

goal weight-140
feel free to add me, Im trying to be more active on here
Wow, your life sounds super busy! We sound so much alike! I would love to run a marathon but sadly right now even walking a mile I feel like I'm about to fall over. Food for me is a really big thing as well. I don't eat much but I'm super picky so what I do eat is not good for you at all. Good luck training, you got this!!!2 -

I have struggles myself. I've been back on the wagon for 4 days. Hopefully for the last time! We got this!
Thanks, today makes day 2 for me of starting over. I'm about to take the dog for a walk to try to get in more steps for the day. I admit that I lowered my step goal on Fitbit. Once I can start making my 8,000 goal again then I'm going to slowly start to build back up steps! Great job on getting yourself back on track.1 -
I am 3 weeks in and happy to give/receive encouragement.
Age -39
Kids- 3
Work: part time
Start weight: 198 ( 195 by the time I began MFP)
Current weight: 191
Goal: 140 by April ( my 40th bday). If I have to turn 40 I want to feel good about myself. 40 + fat = no fun.
I have acquaintances at work and church and kid activities but no close friends.
You can do this!! I remember saying oh by the time I hit 30 I will be under 200. Well... 4 years later and I'm still here. I don't think that I was in the right frame of mind. Now I have determination!1 -

Happy Saturday everybody. I'm feeling like crap today, think that I'm coming down with a cold. Yesterday I ended up with over 11,000 steps and 80 active minutes. I think that might be close to a record for me! Today I'm only at 6,000 but know that I will at least hit mmy goal of 8,000. By this time next week I plan to be setting my new goal to 8,500 a day.
