    Hi everyone! I am a 34 year old stay at home mom/student of 2 girls (12 yrs and 16 mos) and 2 boys (10 yrs and 7 yrs). I was very thin when I was younger. I gained a lot of weight after high school then had the yo-yo weight loss and weight gain for several years. After my 3rd child (7yr old) I lost a ton of weight. Now we have our surprise baby that is 16 mos now, but I am still fighting with the baby weight. I have some physical problems I am still trying to over come from a car accident a few years ago, but tired of that being an excuse! Ready to be back to a healthy weight again!!

    Hello everyone,
    I am a 26 year old mother of a wonderful 9 month old baby boy! Between working full time, being a full time mother, and graduate school eating healthy and working out was at the end of my to-do list. When my doctor told me that my CRP levels were elevated and that it could be decreased by my weight I quickly felt the need to get it together. So far I have lost 17 pounds, I still have more to lose but I know I can get there. Wish everyone the best of luck!

    Hello mamas. I'm 38, married and have 6 kids combined with my husband. I've had 3 by birth. Youngest is 8. Still carrying baby weight with me, but then I started nursing school. Gained about 30 lbs in school because it's hard, hard, hard, and I study all the time. Book in lap, lap in seat. Hardly any exercise. I'm going to be a grandmother in 3 months and feel a lot older than I should. I would love to be healthy and fit, as well as weigh less. My husband used this sight previously and lost quite a bit of weight. He and I are now doing it together. He doesn't understand the need to log in everyday but I'm a woman who needs support so add me. I log in everyday! :flowerforyou:

    Hi mommas!

    I am 33 just had my first baby she is 6 months... I have been losing a long time- I was one bout of food poisoning away from my goal weight and I found out I was pregnant. Just stopped breastfeeding and now it's time to get back on track. No excuses!

    Oh did I mention I am starting my PhD?

    I think I can do it all... I hope I can. You all motivate me :)

    Hi All,

    I am a 39 yo mother of three girls (ages 7,6 and 3). I have always struggled with my weight but before kids it was a 10 lb struggle, now 3 years after my last pregnancy I am working out more then ever but I am still 20+ lbs heavier then I want to be. Could be age, hormones, or all the peanut butter sandwiches I finish? I have used MFP for a while but went to join weight watchers for the accountability. But it is so expensive I thought maybe I should join a group here and try to find some support for free! After so many years pregnant/breastfeeding I need to relearn how much I can eat.

    So that is it! Thanks,

    L

    I am a 39 year old Mum of 2 boys (ages 6 and 4). I took up running 2 and a half years ago to lose weight...I weigh more now than I did then.

    Hi everyone, I am 26 years old. I live in New Jersey. I am a stay at home mom to a beautiful son. I am in love with my boyfriend, 7 years and still going strong. The love of a family is life's greatest blessing.

    I have been back and fourth with my weight since the day I had my son 5 years ago. I never suffered from weight since I was practically underweight most of my life. I was only 82 lbs and size 0 before I had my son and gain to 138 lbs being pregnant. I gave birth and my postpartum weight was 115 lbs and size 5. Nine months of postpartum I decided to start getting back in shape working out everyday 3 hrs a day 2 days off and started taking diet pills as well. At that time I was in school so with the back and fourth helped as well. I went down to 105 lbs size 1 and 2. I felt better and my confidence boosted. I was doing well til I moved 2 yrs ago and found out I was pregnant. I went back up to 112 lbs in less then a month. I had a miscarriage a month later and since then my weight started increasing. I am so ready to get my sexy back and kick the pounds off.
