    HEY!

    I'm a mom, as well. I have only one child right now, but my husband and I are planning for possibly one or two more in the future. My limit is 3!!! LOL!

    I want to lose 50+lbs right now. One, to feel better about myself and prove that I CAN do it, and two, to have a healthier pregnancy next time around. I am going to try not to gain 60lbs again during my next pregnancy, either.

    I'm 22, my daughter will be turning 2 on the 2nd of next month. I've been married for 3 years. :love:

    What steps are you taking to lose the weight..

    Oh, and excellent first week. I lost 5.6 my first week, but I know that my weight loss will start to slow here soon. The best thing I can do is not get discouraged!

    Hi there. I understand you totally. I am a mother of two. I have been heavy all my life pretty much but I have really ballooned up since I have had my boys. I started at about 300 lbs when I started my weight loss journey but I weighted 264 when I started on here. I have dropped 35 lbs so far but I still have another 50 to lose. I understand how hard it is to say that you need to lose 100 lbs because I have been living it. I would love to be friends and motivate each other. Welcome to MFP and good luck with your weight loss journey.

    Hi there, I'm a mum of four and new to MFP as well, and desperate to lose the weight, I also have a 6 month old grandson who I would love to be able to run after (when he's walking that is lol) my eldest son is 21 next month and my youngest is 4 so big age gap, it just seems like I have spent the last 21 years gradually putting weight on....time for a change me thinks!!!

    I hope you succeed in losing your weight and reaching your goal, I need to lose around 10st so a huge amount of weight to go and this is just the beginning of my journey,


    good luck jlmnk1313

    I am 26 and my kiddo's are son 6, daughter 3, son 7 months. I am really watching what I am eating thanks to this site! I have really cut out my bread! I am trying to get excercise in any where I can, ex. calf raises, quad squats, side standing ab crunches all while cooking supper for the kids, and we are doing the wii and Kinect! It is great getting the whole family involved and they don't let me forget since they ask 5 times a day lol I figure small steps are better than none!!! Good luck to you for getting the weight off between pregnancies or you would end up like me with alot more to get off after all the kids! We Can Do This!!!

    Absolutely....

    I have 15, 14, 7 and 3 yr old girls, I like to run and I can do half marathon distance which is fab but my weight just creeps up. I have started to eat properly, as in 3 meals aday which can be hard as Im a MCA and work shifts at a local maternity hospital. I am making a point to eat. so hopefully byy the summer I will be 50lbs lighter. and so may we all be. x
