    I'm a 26 (for a few more months!) year old wife, student, and mom of 2 kiddos. My son is 5, and my daughter is 3.

    When I started, I had 50lbs to lose. I'm down 13, and anxious to kiss those last 37lbs goodbye!

    Good Morning everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I had to get up WAY to early this morning! I have another busy day today and Im wishing I could crawl back into bed!
    I guess I will tel a little about myself: Im a 26 year old wife of Jody and Mom to Mckenzie who is 9 and Cody who s 6 (yes we started young). We live in a small town in Oklahoma. I have been trying to lose this weight for about 6 years but never really stuck to anything. I a hoping with all of the support I will stick to this!!!!!
    So is everyone just counting calories or are any on different diets? How are you losing weight? Whats working for you? I would love to hear suggestions!

    Staring tomorrow I will start a new post eveyday and call it Mom's losing 50+, is that ok with everyone?

    I'm a little confused - if every day you are going to start a new thread - how will we find it???

    I think it will be easier than going through the old thread to find the new stuff but want to make sure I can find it!!!

    Thanks!

    Hi, Can I join in?! I am a 26yr old married mom of 3 beautiful children- 2 boys (6 & 3) and a brand new baby girl , born 2/15/11. I went overboard and gained 65lbs during this last pregnancy, and while 35 has come off easily, I am just now adopting healthy eating.. I breast fed for a while and had to fill up with calories, but now I'm done and can actually cut back (because the whole BFing and losing weight thing did not work for me ever.. lol). I started last week with low carbs and tons of fresh veggies/fruits, and whole wheat (when carbs are included), and lost about 2lbs. I've not been faithful to any exercise, although I'd like to start using my free weights, lat pull and get serious with crunches. I currently just do slow walking with the kids and leg lifts (100/leg) at night after work (I sit in at a desk all day...). This has been my first week back to work and so far I've stuck faithfully to my healthier food choices... I'm ready to lose 70lbs!

    Good morning!
    I'm really looking forward to this group. I think mfp is great and the support is wonderful. I really do think it has help motivate me to lose all this wonderful weight I gained while prego (80lbs!). That was over a year ago!!!! I am a sahm to my wonderful baby girl Gianna who turned one in March and married to my high school sweet heart who doesn't know how to really be supportive (MEN! ugh). I'm just trying to watch my calories and do 30min of cardio a day, which I wish was easier because I'm a total binge eater! I would love to know what everyone is doing to lose and get healthy for our kids!

    Good Morning!!!

    I guess we can just check in here everyday instead of starting a new thead (This will probably be easier anyway). I wasnt planning on having a busy day today but things change lol. I was planning on cleaning my house today, since I have a house cleaning business I dont usually have time for deep cleaning at my own house. I am doing the low cal. diet and just trying to make healthier choices. I have also tried to start excercising more also. I just do random things like going for a walk in our pasture with the kids and sometimes the Hubby when I can get him to go. He doesnt need to lose weight so he see's it as a waste of time lol.

    @mnchkn Dont feel bad my "baby" is 6 and I havent lost the weight, I gained 60 with my first baby and lost about half and then gained the same with the 2nd and didnt lose much after. lol

    I hope everyone is having a GREAT day and I will check back as soon as I can!!!!!

    Hello everyone!!

    I'm feeling great today! I'm doing the low calorie diet with MFP and adding excersise has help me a lot! I've been overweight for almost a decade have done many diets some of then worked, but then got tired and went to my old "eating whatever I want whenever I want mode" and gaining every pound I lost back plus more. I am 278lbs today but a year ago or a bit more I did the weight watchers diet and lost almost 60lbs and was in 229lbs (i was feeling like a model) but got tired of counting points and doing it alone (i never asisted to the weekly meetings) didn't have the money nor the time.

    But this time I got YOU to support me and to see your progress helps, I've only been using MFP for 17 to 20 days or so and I'm feeling like this is something I can do to get there. This time I'm not trying to lose 7pounds a week just a normal 1 to 2 pounds and that way i dont have to starve myself.

    Glad to be part of this group! Have a great active day!!
