    Count me in too! I could so use the extra motivation. I've lost my focus lately and the scale has been slowly creeping back up. I was just thinking the weekend that if I focused myself for the next 3 months I could drop 15-20lbs and be so much happier with myself.
    My current weight is 173.
    Feel free to add me as a friend.
    Welcome!!!!

    Is it ok if I join? I am a mom of two, a 4yr old and 9 mo. old little one. I started with WW but their new system didn't work for me, I am SO happy I found MFP.

    My Infant Support Group isn't very supportive. DD woke up early from a nap so I got her, changed her and was set on finishing my workout routine. I was doing Sumo Burpies from Chalean Extreme and she was laughing her butt off at me. At least I made her laugh.

    Too late to join? I am a mom of 4. I need to find full time employment in the fall so I am hoping to lost at least 20 before I get a job. If it's okay to join I'll post my measurements today. I'm in bed ill and can't reach them! :sick:

    I'm in as well. I just started on this site, and have lost 1.5 Ibs so far! My Husband works out of state so iam basically a siingle mother of 2 kids. My daughter is 7, and my son is 1. I have struggled with my weight all of my life, including my 8 years in the Air Force. I lost 45 Ibs on a deployment, and once I came back I slowly gained it all back. I just started running again a few months ago, and I love it all over again. I ran my first 5k in 3 years in April, and my second last weekend. I also love to hike, so between running, and hiking I think I should be able lose atleast 15 Ibs by the end of the summer!

    I would love to join as well. I am a working mom of 4 kids. My oldest is starting college in the fall and the youngest just turned 2. I too have shut off the baby factory and it's time to shed this weight that dates back to my first pregnancy 18 years ago. I started at 267 over 2 years ago, lost 40 pounds and then got pregnant again. I had to lose most of that 40 again. I am currently at 215, but I have really fallen off my program the last month or so and need some motivation to get back. Feel free to add me as a friend as I don't have many on MFP.

    SW - 215
    Measurements - I'll post later.

    Awesome! My kids always exercise with me when I do my Wii fit they think it is fun and also funny to watch especially the hulla hooping! But it is fun!

    Starting weight 175, unsure of measurements.

    Does anyone have any good Wii game suggestions? I work out during my lunch at the gym, but would like to work out during the weekends doing more than just the regular Wii fit game.
