in Introduce Yourself
New to the site after hearing about it from a friend!
Looking to meet others who may struggle with the same battle I do...losing weight and doing it without damaging my body or metabolism in any way!

A little about me...I have two boys who I adore! An amazing husband who means the world to me! I work full time and go to school full-time and have recently found the motivation to get in shape and hope to do so by the time that I gradutate with my Masters in Business next summer!

Looking for those who share common lifestyles and have motivation so that we can keep each other motivated along this journey!

    Count me in... :-)
    Almost the same story. Mother of 2 boys, the younger 1,5 years old. Full time job and diploma to finish (I dont find time to do that...)
    My goal is to lose 10 kg for start...(and another 10 to be in perfect shape).
    I will try with this site, to check my calorie intake, I won't change my diet in general, just try to keep my calorie intake low. And exercise as much as possible. I hope to stay motivated for more than 3 weeks (as I usually do)...

    I'm in a very similar situation. I'm a mother of 1 girl, 18 months. I'm a full-time RN and a full-time student working on my MSN in Nursing Education. I have just recently started my journey to getting healthy. My goal is to lose weight in a healthy way and make an overall lifestyle change to improve my health. I could use a lot of motivation also.

    Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

    I think that finding people who share the same day-to-day struggles as each other is important and I know that when I see someone struggling (or read a post of them having a hard time) It not only helps to reach out and motivate them, but at the same time I am motivating myself and helping to keep on that path that will lead me to my goal!:smile:

    Girls, how are you doing?
    It is 7th day of my new healthy life :-) I am proud of myself, not because I did some kind of exercise every day, and not because I watch what and how much I ate, but because I had 1 "crisis" day and I turned it into a good day. In my old me, I would give up, because of 2 peaces of cake that I ate that day and continue with unhealthy diet from there on - just because I did "a mistake".
    That day I did another training and immediately felt better and decided that "THIS IS NOT A DAY TO QUIT".

    I hope we all will have energy to survive that "crisis days", which will definitely come...

    I am also a mother of two, and work part time and I am getting my masters degree in Environmental Policy and Management! I have been using my fitness pal since last August and have lost 25lbs doing so! I have been taking the weight off slowing because I feel that is the healthiest way to do so. Good luck to you!

    Same boat here! I have 5 kids (ages 8, 10 and 12yr old triplets), work full-time in Accounting and go to school part time online working on my Masters degree. I spend sooooo much time sitting in front of a computer it is really hard to lose weight, but I have to make an effort. I am 33 years old and have gained 40 pounds in the last three years and I want it GONE.

    If anyone wants to add me, please go ahead. The more people I have to support and who support me the better chance there is that I will keep logging on.

    Thanks!!

    Feel free to add me too. I am a mother of 2: an almost 3 year old girl and a 10 month old boy. I am a full time teacher and I have a husband that works strange hours so caring for the kids is a lot of time put just on me. I would love to add some motivating friends that are in the same boat!
