    Hello

    My name is Cody and I'm a mother of 3 kids 7, 3, and 20 months. I've had good weight loss over the last yr now I'm a little more into inches lost specifically my stomach but since you can't spot reduce I know that as the weight comes off so will my tummy (eventually). This gives me a realistic goal to work on over the summer since I've been loosing an average of 1 lb/week

    Hello eveyone! I'm Shona, 41 years young, a SAHM to 5 children ages 20, 8, 6, 5 and 3 and from the UK. I was a member of MFP until a few months ago, under a different username, where I successfully lost 20lbs. Unfortunately I'm now back after gaining back most of that weight and would love more friends to help me in achieving my goals. :smile:

    Hi everyone, I am Jill. I am 31 years old, live in central/western Massachusetts. I have a husband (married 4 yrs together 11) and a wonderful daughter who is 7. I am a 911/police dispatcher and sadly I sit most of the day. I am looking for a fun way to stay on track and to achieve my goal of being 16-20 lbs lighter by the end of August, so this group fits perfectly!!

    Hey :) I'm Julia. I'm still in my teen-ish years, but I want to slim down to feel happy and comfortable with my body. I have around 20 pounds to go. I'm trying to "eat clean", but I don't care about it as much. For me, I'm just thinking calories in and calories out. I'll try to eat healthier, too... but I just want a calorie deficit.
    Thanks and good luck to everyone!!

    Hello from Finland!

    I'm Rosa and I'm 26 years old. I got married a year ago and since then I've gained 10 kg (22 lbs). It really was a wake up call when I first noticed that my BMI was overweight instead of normal. I have lost a couple of kg this spring but now I really want to get things going. I'll be having my summer vacation on August, and I'll bet you all now that I'll spend the whole vacation on the beach in bikini - whether I succeed or not, so you all really need to push me in this, lol!

    My motto with eating is that food needs to taste good, but it can also be healthy. With smoothies I've finally learned how to eat breakfast, and otherwise I'm just trying to keep my proteins up and unnecessary sugars low. I'm using some exercise apps from Runtastic for workout (sit-ups, push-ups and squats) and then some walking and riding a bike with that. I'd would like learn how to run, but maybe that'll come a bit later.

    At the moment my only friend in mfp is my wife, which is a bit sad, so maybe I'll make some new friends in here.

    Hi, I'm Karen, almost 49,mom to eight, and granny to eight.I live in England. I have about 10lbs to get to goal hopefully by mid August. Due to issues with the scales I am no longer knowing how much I weigh, time to trust the process and learn to recognise my progress from how i look and feel( my pt will weigh me but not tell me the numbers until I get to goal) I love lifting heavy weights and long walks along the beach. I eat a CKD , keto diet with carb refeeds.

    Hi there. I'm late to join but hope to catch up. I'm a 36-year old teacher (working mom of 2) who is ready to reset this summer. Every school year I put on 10-15 pounds and then have to take it off in the summer. As I get older, this goal is harder and harder to achieve. I'd like to lose the 15 pounds and adopt some healthy habits to maintain over the next school year.
