    Hi all, I hope I'm ok to jump in here, I turn 35 in a couple of months and have a brilliant little (almost) 2.5 year old at home! I'm an Aussie, so coming into the colder weather here which is not so nice.

    I work full time and hubby is the stay at home parent. I squeeze in exercise/movement where I can during the day at work (mostly I'm chained to a desk) and do most of my exercise after the toddler goes to bed. I like steady-state cardio and yoga, mostly, but do try to do some strength training too as I know it's good for me!

    Here's a pic of my little guy just because I love to share him!

    Hi! I'd like to join. :) I'm a 44 year old mom with 4 kids. (Boys ages 22, 17 & 16 and Girl 12)

    I started this year at 215, my highest weight ever. (I'm 5' 5") Even at full term pregnancy I was never over 170 pounds, but 6 years ago an ankle injury, self-pity and depression have been catalysts for packing on the pounds. I decided in January that enough was enough and I got back on the MFP wagon. (I originally joined in 2014ish when I thought I needed to weigh 125 - I was at 140 at the time. Hahahaha. It's so sad to think about now.)

    Anyhow, I'm on a journey to live a heathier life and to learn self acceptance & self compassion. I've been working my butt off, literally, and am down to 185.2. At some point I'd like to be 140 again. We shall see. :) I'm trying to love myself exactly where I am at every day. Why is it so hard to that though?!

    Hiii 💛 -

    I really need some motivation ... I am soon to be 36 yr old, and a mom of 3 ... we have 2 fur babies and then my husband who is my oldest and most needy child!! (He’s also my biggest cheer leader) I work ALOT! And my job is very sedentary and very stressful (did i mention i work night shift 6p-6a). Sometimes 55 hour weeks. I also picked up a part time at the YMCA thinking I’d actually go to the gym, which hasn’t been the case 🙄.

    ANYhooo — I’m looking to make some new friends and maybe have some sort of accountability, and push others along the way / i am great at motivating others and absolutely cannot motivate myself 😫.

    I’m looking to loose 35 lbs, and it this present time constant inconsistency is affecting me mental and emotionally.
