    I'm in. I have a 4 year old, and I work in an accounting firm. It's part time right now, but in a few months we'll be hitting the busy season, which has always been a HUGE struggle with the weight loss. My goal is to lose 47 more lbs by my wedding next August, I'm already down 13. I'm very excited to have finally broken the 230's after who knows how long! With work, the little ones activities and schedules of him visiting his dad and grand parents, life gets a bit crazy at times, as it does. :)

    Hi, I'd like to join!! My name is Shawn, I am a mom to 4, three boys ages 23, 12, & 3 and one girl 5. I have a home daycare and in the process of starting an Etsy shop, so I'm always busy and have little time for myself.
    I'm almost at my goal weight but would love to be a part of the discussions and support other moms.

    I would like to join too!! I am all new to this. I have two kids 6 and 3. I went from being a stay at home mom to working 4 four days a week. It has helped me so much not being at home and eating all the time. I haven't really thought about taking care of myself for a while. But now it is my turn. I came across mfp and thought what the heck I would try it. This is my second week logging my meals and really watching what I put in my body. And so far it has been great. I would like to lose about 30lbs. Although the poundage is not as important to me as fitting into my clothes better. I would the support of other busy moms like me.

    Thank you!!

    This group sounds great, sign me up! I have a little girl who is 14 months old and I work a full time job outside the home. I have to get up at 5 am every morning to exercise and it's not always easy especially when it doesn't seem to be paaying off as quick as I would like for it to but I am sticking with it this time!!!

    I'd like to join too! I'm mom to four kiddos: 11 yo girl, 8 yo boy and 5 yo b/g twins. The youngest just started kindergarten so you'd think I'd have all sorts of leisure time. WRONG! I actually am a freelance writer and have been able to take on more jobs since school started, so I'm busier than ever. I've lost 25 lbs so far since starting MFP, and have 12 to go to reach my initial goal, and can use all the oomph I can get :)

    Thanks for starting this group Kara! Looks like we'll have lots of support for and from one another!

    I'll do a litle better introduction. I'm 33, a full-time high school social studies teacher and I have a 2 year old girl and a 4 year old boy. I have lost about 20 pounds since joining (35 since the birth of my daughter) but since recovering from Lyme Disease this summer my weight loss has stalled. I would like to lose about 60 more pounds. My start weight on MFP was 215 (225 after the birth of my daughter) and I would like to hit 135. I love to cook...that is a slight problem. I always love to run but just started TurboFire this week. Good luck to you all!

By then end of the night I am so exhausted I have no motivation to exercise! My fiance' works crazy hours and isn't always home to help out with the baby or anything else and I am NOT a morning person lol. I know... Excuses Excuses! I'm working on trying not to do that anymore lol. That's what I need you all for! :smile:

    I'm so glad we have a great group of ladies. So tomorrow is our first weigh in day to officially start the group. I'm leaving the group open until we all post are first weigh ins. We are to post our weigh ins in the new thread. I will also post our weekly topic tomorrow.

    I am very excited to help, support, and motivate and also to recieve help, support, and be motivated. I think this group is just what us mommies need. A group of mothers, who understand how challenging it is to put yourself first and to find the time to do it. To be able to be healthy when everyone around you isn't. To be able to do everything with a smile on our faces when we would love to take a nap :)

    Here's the link to our new thread http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/373030-mommy-s-losing-it-closed-group

    Hi everyone!! I would love to join this group. My name is Keri and I ma a mother of 2. My daughter is almost 7 and very active. Swimming, cheer, t-ball, soccer and dance. My son is almost 8 weeks and I gained so much weight back I am so mad at myself. I was within 20lbs of my goal weight before I got pregnant and bam! I'm right back to my starting weight.

    Not working anymore is awful! I love having so much time with my kids, but I managed a restaurant and oversaw several others for trainingso I worked long hours on my feet and could control what I ate. Not so much now. I find I'm eating quick and easy crap becasue the baby doesnt sleep very long yet and by the time he's asleep and the house is clean, I've got 20 minutes or so.

    I never realized but I'm an emotional eater. And being sleep deprived isn't helping.

    haha! no lie,
    I'm finishing this post a day later. No wonder eating is so tough. I can't even finih a sentence!
