    This is the first time i have ever dieted or exercise in my life so im really new to this kind of stuff but im on day 5 with the 30 day shred and im acually eating veggies im still not a big fan my one year old eats better than i do lol

    I have a husband name Christopher we have been married almost 4 years i love him so much we are trying to lose weight together i must say though he is not eating very well and im worried about that

    Im a stay at home mom until Zachary gets a little older and gets more time with me, we travel all over the country and i enjoy it but i do miss my family... needless to say that i dont have a ton of options on the road which has increased my waist size plus having two kids one right after the other lol

    oh my name is Macey btw lol

    Good Luck everyone

I am currently a therapist.. but I love to dance, sing and I play piano and drums and learning the acoustic guitar..

    I would definitely like to join the fun - I am very new to MFP - but so far I love it!!!

    My name is Alicia, I am 29 years old and I'm a single SAHM to two gorgeous girls - Zoe who is 3 years old and Grace who is 12 months old. So life is pretty busy looking after the little ones by myself - but I seem to have worked out a little routine that means I can maintain some sanity and sometime to really look after myself.

    Weight-wise I have gotten under my pre-pregnancy weight already - but I still have a fair chunk of weight to lose before I finally hit my UGW. So I am trying to eat clean and train mean to get that last bit of weight off! At the moment I am doing the 30 day shred - just finished level 1 - day 6, so that is kicking my *kitten*. After that I might take on ripped in 30. Gotta love Jillian :D

    So a bit more about me - I'm an Aussie :), I love zombie movies, watercolour painting, power walking, weights and cake decorating.

    I'm looking forward to getting to know you all!


    PS I am happy to be a co-moderator if you like? I have the spare time.

    :bigsmile: Sorry for all the posts this morning, but.....


    Aliciazac and I are discussing daily topics and challenges for our group..... We will get everything worked out and organized and it will be awesome! :drinker:


    Since today is SUnday, I thought a great topic of conversation would be MOTIVATION. What is your Motivation? What is motivating to you? What KEEPS you motivated... Or even post a motivational saying that helps you on your journey....

    Sundays will be MOTIVATIONAL SUNDAY so every Sunday we can post something motivational...


    For me, Philipians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ which strengthenth me" has always been a motivation Scripture verse for me... I have even printed it out on little pieces of paper and posted it around my house before LOL... (need to do that again)

    Also, BEING A RUNNER is a great motivation... I really, REALLY want to be a runner... I am starting (re-restarting the C25K...again..if anyone is interested or if you are already doing this, let me know!!!!!)

    There are two of mine...... Let me hear your's! :wink:

    My mother-in-law, who is like a mother to me is my motivation! A few months ago she was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and her ability to fight and keep an awesome outlook on life is my motivation!!!! I want to become a healthy example for my kids! Another motivation for me is that I had gestational diabetes so I am at greater risk for diabetes later in life. I would like to avoid this at all costs so I am hoping eating right and exercise will keep me healthy enough to not get it!

    My motivation this week: I went to a house warming party for a friend last night, and saw some people I hadn't seen in over 6 months, I tried to hide my excitement when they noticed, I had dropped quite a bit of weight :)... Sometimes I feel weird when folks notice, but I really appreciate that my hard work this year has been recognized....

    I want to start running, I want to do this race here in Va next year, The Ukrops Monument Ave 10 K, Im trying to get people I know into it here, so maybe they could train for it as well. Its next November, The one this year , is actually next Sat, but there's no way I could make it.

    Also, I would like to start going back to church, We have sorta fell out of it, but, I want a well rounded life and I believe God must be part of it too.

    Hi,

    I'm new to MFP, but I would love to join your group. I'm a wanna be sexy mama, lol (I don't feel very sexy right now). I'm a 35 yo married mother of 2 (8 yo boy, and 6 yo girl). My love for food has been the biggest challenge to my weightloss goals. I love healthy food, junk food, fast food, gourmet food...any type of food. I love dining out with friends, and with my husband. I would like to lose about 30 lbs by next Spring.

    I am planning a trip either to Hawaii or the U.S. Virgin Islands for my 10th anniversary next year, and I want to look HOT in a swim suit, lol. That's one thing that motivates me. Another thing that motivates me is my health. This is the heaviest that I've been, and my energy has gotten low, and I'm starting to have problems with my knees and back. I also find that I'm less motivated to do things that I used to like to do (i.e. date nights with hubby).

    Anyway, I look forward to getting to know you all.

    Tyra

    My motivation is my son. I want to be healthy and set a good example for him! He is SO active and I don't want to be the Mom that has to sit and watch instead of being out playing too. So that is why I am here, to get healthy and fit to be an active mom!

    My #1 motivation has been my soon to be 20 year old daughter. She plays soccer in college and works full time at a gym. She is all the time encouraging me to take care of my health by staying active. (She's the one that signed me up for a boot camp) She will send me sweet emails telling me how she believes I can do this. On New Years Eve she and I are running our first 5k together! I'm doing C25k as well and love it!

    Sunday's Motivation: I have been on this weight loss thing, several times before. This time, I decided to tell my oldest daughter. I told her if I lose my first 20 pounds, what would she want. Now if we know anything about teenage girls, this could lead to a plethora of ideas. However, her response shocked me, and in the privacy of my room, brung me to tears. She said she wou;d want for me to wear a bathing suit, and actually come in the water with them. I was shocked, because she was right, I never ever would dear wear a bathing suit on the beach. EVER! I would be the "overweight" mother on the sideline watching them have all the fun. Fully covered up, reading a book, watching my children have fun on the beach without me. Out of all the things she could have picked, my daughter wanted us to have family time, and me actually participate. This thought motivates me everytime I tell myself, to quit, or give up, because I know that I want to give my daughters that time on the beach, with a healthy active mother.

    YAY!!! You guys are FAST! I LOVE it!!!!!!

    Just to set up some "rules" to make it easy on us....

    We can do introductions here on this thread and get to know each other a bit... Then, Monday, we can start our "Official Thread"... We can start the thread by titling it "SEXY MAMAS (and the date)" Then it will be easy for us to find...
    We can put our start weight (SW) our last weigh-in weight (LW) and our current weight (CW) to help us easily see our losses!! =)
    I have lost over 25lbs, but Monday, I will use THAT weigh-in weight as my START WEIGHT for SEXY MAMAS... So, we can all start out at 0 so to speak... I think this will be fun!!! That way, we are all starting at the "same point" ....
    We can do either weekly challenges or monthly challenges...whatever you ladies would like to do.... From my experiences, monthly works better!! It is easier to stay on top of the thread... A new thread every week can start to get hard to keep up with, but if we do the same thread for a month, it is a little bit easier...

    What are some challenges that you guys would like to see? What is it that you seem to need more accountability/motivation with?

    Also, I would LOVE for us to do before and after pics because that is sooooo freakin' encouraging and motivational... So, let's all take a before pic for Monday.... we don't HAVE to share it until we are ready to add our after or "in process" pic, but lets take one so we will have one to post for comparison =)

    So, what do you guys think?

    I love it! My first challenge...

    I'll save my intro for the official Monday post, and I will try to get my "before" image in here. I'm terrible at message board html. Love the rules outlined so far, and agree that a weekly thread might be hard to keep up with. Monthly may be a better idea. It should be easy to search, right?

    As for challenges, I'd love to see a clean eating or something like that. Personally I need a work out challenge-- maybe 3X cardio a week and the next week 2-3X weights? Something like that?

    You just brought a tear to my eye! It's a tough gig being a mother and the kids always know what to say at the right time hey?


    My motivation, like most of you is to set a good example for my kids. I want them to see me healthy and happy.
    Annnnnnnd, I just want to look bloody good!

    Does anyone live near me? i live in Tweed heads (near the Gold Coast) In Australia :)

    Oh, I have loved reading you guys' motivations!!!! They have even motivated me... And annasgyal, what an amazing daughter you have!!!!! That is so encouraging and what an amazing motivation to keep you going!!! Love it!!!!!

    Glad to see some of you are interested in running as well... we will need to "partner up" here on MFP and help one another out!!!

    Love to see that our kids are our motivating drive!! Setting that example for the future!!! Love my kiddos!!! They are my joy and they deserve to have a mama that is healthy and active! :drinker:

    You ladies are amazing!!!!!! Ideas are in the works... Challenges are coming!!!! DAily topics also...

    One thing I was thinking about and would like your input.... Would you like us to have just one thread that continues to roll over and over or would you like to see a new thread started every month? Either way is fine with me... If we use the "roll over" method, we would just need to be sure that everyone knows that once that thread reaches it maximum comment posts you have to click on the <continue topic here> link on the last comment post. Let me know what you think...

    AND is everyone ok with having Monday as our "official" weigh-in day? Even if you weigh in on a different day you can post that on Monday here on our thread... How is that? Sunday -Motivation Monday - Weigh-in Check-in :happy: have other topics for the other days, but we will post those Monday for the "fresh start" ....and they will be easier to find for you guys and you won't have to search through the pages of this thread...
