I am 33 5'7 210lbs. I'm hoping to lose 50 lbs. I have 3 kids 14, 13 & 9. I work full time managing a restaurant. Looking to friends to make this journey a little easier. I am trying yo eat around. 1600 calories a day and work out (walking, jogging, cycling, gym) 5 days a week. Right now I'm trying low cerb and it works but I feel so deprived!

    Hi I am a mum to two lil dudes, 10 and 7 yrs, work full time and have been travelling too much! I have begun making changes to my lifestyle so am ready to make the change, I weigh around 14st, and have just begun my journey to lose around 55lbs. It is hard juggling everything but together we can do it. I for one am fed up making excuses!!!

    Mum to Georgie (8 going on 15 :D), full time working as a school secretary and I study with the open Uni (though currently between modules for the summer yah!).

    I've found that finding time for ME has been my success :) Good luck!

    Hi, I'm a wife, mother, grandmother, full time worker and business owner. If it's not easy to make, it doesn't happen at my place. Portion control and separating foods (so I can add or not) to our main meals has been a lifesaver for me. Feel free to add me :)
