    Hi. I'm a mom to a 4.5 year old and 18 month old. I have lost some of the baby weight but still want to lose another 15 to 20 pounds. I am starting to feel stronger and can play with my kids more. I would love more friends and support. Add me if you'd like.

    I to have been battling my weight for years. Up and down all the time. I also have over 100 lbs to loose. 85 having been gained on medication that was contributing but I am now on new meds and feel much better than I have in almost a year. I look at this as a lifestyle change and it is helping. Lost ten pounds before I started this and almost 20 more since I started this. It is so easy that I don' t know why I never used this site before. Welcome!

    I've got you on my friends list already *wave* but others are welcome to add me as well - I'm a 36yr old overweight mama - been battling these weight demons since I was a kid and I finally found it in myself to buckle down and do it right, I'm 30lbs into a ~150lb journey (I'm so freaking close to the 200 club that I can taste it!) and finding others like me and talking frankly about my goals and loss has been so huge! I've got a 2.5 year old son and I want nothing more than to be able to run around with him and do all the fun things like riding roller coasters that have nothing to do with the scale :)

    Hello! I'm not new to MFP but I'm back on the wagon. I just had our 4th child 4 months ago and gained quite a bit with her. I'm trying to find myself again. I have a lot to lose but I'm setting small goals to reach them. I think my ticker is set to where I left off when I started school and right before I got pregnant. Will have to change it. Would love some support :-)
