Hi, my names Selena. I have used the app in the past and manages to lose 50 pounds.
Now after 3 back to back pregnancies I’m trying to get healthy and in shape to keep up the the needs of these little one.

But with no friends or support from my in a weight loss journey it’s been struggling to stay focused. Just looking for some mfp to help stay motivated.

    Hello Selena, welcome to MFP.
    Can I ask what measure have you taken until now for your weight loss journey?

    I am a grandma that is currently on losing over 100 lbs. I am at 70 lbs down. I watch my grandkids every workweek day 7-5 pm. I have 6 grands now with one on the way. The biggest reason I decided to lose, this time, was because I knew I had to get in a better place health wise and shape wise to be able to watch my grands. I have seen such an improvement with what I have lost already! So, if you are serious I would love to cheer you on.

    Hello I'm in a similar boat. I have 2 daughters, one who will be 3 in August and I just had my second about 6 weeks ago. I'm looking to drop about 60 pounds total ultimately but my first goal is 30 lbs. I've lost weight using this app to track in the past but having kids and a crazy work schedule has made it very difficult to prioritize my health so now I'm putting my best foot forward

    I have previously used this app after high school and was able to lose 70 pounds to get down to 150, but after 3 kids how I previously lost the weight isn’t working this way. I have realized it’s more then just working out like before and more of a lifestyle change.

    With a history of obesity and being super uncomfortable in my skin I knew I needed to take a step to fix that, so my daughter can grow up with a mother she looks up to and not one that will sit in the mirror and pick at every flaw, that is my major reason for waiting to lose weight is so she knows that she is always beautiful no matter what. And from watching my mom struggle with bulimia and being anorexic that’s where I pick up my constant judging of myself and I don’t want to pass in that fear of loving oneself in their own skin.
