I am a stay at home mom of 3. ages 5,1, and almost 3 !! Before I got pregnant with my last child I lost 50lbs and felt AMAZING. I was down the 135lbs. I went up to 180 when I delivered my son and I currently weigh 175lbs :(

Im really hoping to get some friends on here that are in some what the same situation as me. I am really starting to feel bad about my body and I really want this for ME !!

  • I've got a 3 year old and and almost 2 year old myself. I'll add you :) I'm wanting to lose weight before we TTC again. I'm mostly SAH so I have the kiddos all day during the week. I started in earnest last week but unfortunately not seeing any results yet.
  • Hello,

    What part of the country are you living in? I'm in AZ. I also have 3 kids and had lost enough weight to get down to 145 (target weight 135 is way too low for my curves and head size--I look like a smiling lollipop- lol!). I'm back up to 172, now, though. Thanks to my lovely lack of exercise for 6months. No good reason, either.

    I've heard tracking helps. So, I decided on a fitbit tracker and this site to help me get back to at least 150lbs. I've been on for about a week. I've only just started walking/jogging intervals, over the last few days. I'm not doing much core or strength training, yet.

    Being heavier after a period of weight loss is depressing me, as well. Especially when I go shopping. (ugh!)
    : P
  • I've got a fit it too and I love it!! It's awesome to challenge yourself. I also bought the aria scale so no more hiding and not logging a "bad" weight.

    Hey Mama!

    I have kids and am about 180lbs on my 5'2 frame :( I am new to this all and need some support too. I didn't realize how bad I felt about myself until recently but want to make an effort to help myself, my esteem, my health! :) I am also in Canada .

    I am a mom of 5 kids! Any of you can add me for support. I have been on here for over a year and a half and the support I received here has been helpful in my weight loss journey.

    I'm a mom of 2. Feel free to add me as well as any other moms here. I think its always helpful to have people in the same boat. I have always been overweight, but I'm tired of using that as an excuse or reason why I'm overweight.
