Hi, I am a 34 yo single mom of two boys 12 and 8. They are involved in every sport you can imagine as well as show animals for FFA. So busy is an understatement for my world!!!! In the last year i have lost 22 lbs but still have about 45 more to go. It says that my average weight should be around 145 so that is what I am shooting for. I currently weigh 191. I am on day 2 of the Jillian Michaels Body Revolution. I have set a goal for myself to loose 30 lbs by July and to look or should I say FEEL good in a bathing suit by the end of May. I want to for the first time in my life feel good about my body and not feel the need to cover up when we go on our annual family vacation in July. Or anytime for that matter. I have struggled with my weight all my life so this definetly a life style change that I look forward to enjoying one day. lol0

Hi! I am Amanda..I am a married mother of 8 (blended family). My house is usually dirty (lived in) and I am pretty stressed most of the time. My life is completely consumed by work (casemanager at a homeless shelter), driving my kids and stepkids to all their basketball, football, soccer, track, and tumbling practices, and taking care of my husband who works straight 3rds and can;t make his own plate of food.
I have lost 15lbs so far sticking to a 1200 calorie a day diet and religiously drinking 120 ounces of water a day. For the first time in my life I am carving out time in the day to go to the gym at 5am every morning..and having a healthy breakfast alone before getting the kids up. I am sleeping well and more joyfful...and am making the kids help clean up instead of trying to handle all 3200 square feet myself which is a FAIL
I am looking forward to losing about 60 more pounds so I can be the mother and wife my family deserves. 0 -

Hello ladies,
I'm 24 and I have a little girl who is a almost 1 month old. I gained 65 lbs during my pregnancy and am now busting my butt to get back in shape. I previously lived a very healthy lifestyle, plenty of exercise & lots of healthy foods- but at some point I gave up. Now I have a closet full of clothes that don't fit. I remember having energy and feeling good about my self- I want that again!!
I'm not here to feel less guilt on cheat days, or feel sorry for myself. I'm looking for support and motivation from some mommys who rock. Please feel free to add me!0 -
Hi, I am hoping this group will keep me on the path to losing some weight. I am currently 180.6 lbs ( I have already lost seven lbs) and am hoping to lose 40 pounds. I generally eat "good for you foods," but the problem is I overeat. After having my son three years ago, I stopped paying attention to how much I was consuming. I ate just for the heck of it, when my kids were eating, and when I am hungry. I don't feel good about myself anymore. I hate the way I look and feel. I want my body and my self esteem back. Most of all, I want to be healthy for myself and my kids!!!0

Hi Everyone! I'm a mom of two boys, the little one will be two in May and the big one, who is autistic will be five in July. I FINALLY lost weight and got healthy when I got pregger's with No. 1. I gained almost 70 pounds during my first pregnancy and lost all but 20 before becoming pregnant with # 2 (with whom I gained another 65 pounds...) This motherhood and pregnancy thing is NOT good for my waistline. I am hoping I can lose the weight and then some to get (and stay) at a healthy weight. It's hard to find five minutes to make and consume breakfast in the mornings, so working out has been a challange! Trying hard to make the time to be the healthiest mom I can and be a good role model for the kids! Hoping I can find some mom friends to keep me motivated!!0

I know a million people have posted on her and what's one more... but I had my first baby exactly a year ago. While I am only about 10lbs away from my pre pregnancy weight, I had gained about 30lbs before becoming pregnant. In addition to that I really blew up while pregnant. I am really tired of seeing all these women and moms that have had a baby 3 months ago and look better than I do a year later. It's been really hard not to get depressed. I have begun to COMPLETELY avoid pictures and I am struggling breaking a serious sugar addiction. I find myself tired all the time (my daughter has been a terrible sleeper since she was born) and the sugar keeps me going. I crave it. I will do really good for 2-3 days and then have a sugar binge which I HATE! Anyways, looking for people who have some of the same goal as me.

Hello my name is Stephanie I am 24 a mom of three and I am currently 167.8 pounds my goal weight is 135. I started my diet/workout program on march 18th and weighed in then at 171.9 pounds. So I am on the right path, but I am having a hard time staying motivated. I had a friend join with me but has not followed through, I am just looking for anyone that needs that extra buddy to help motivated each other. I am not a sweet eater or big on soda but my thing I would say holding me back is how often i eat and feel hungry, So the amount of food I am talking in. good luck to you all! 0

Just Started MFP yesterday. I have struggled to shed the weight I put on with each kid (now almost 4 and 8 years old!) and am looking for support wherever I can. I am currently 183lbs and it's the heaviest I've ever been
I am setting short and long term goals. Long term is down to 140 but for now it's just to loose 10 lbs before my vacation at the end of next month.
I've struggled with binge/emotional eating from stress for ages... any suggestion for that would be more than welcome.0 -

Hey there! I think this is my first ever post on an MFP discussion board/group! I'm a stay at home mom of four and finally getting serious about losing this extra weight! I'm 5'2" and currently 151 pounds. I gained 60 pounds with my most recent pregnancy, and now that she is almost 11 months old, I think I'm ready to stop blaming her for this weight problem
My first mini-goal is my pre-pregnancy weight of 144 pounds. My ultimate goal is 125 pounds
Looking forward to getting to know you guys!0
