Hi there all.....
I am looking for "older" mom's.... ( I am 44 ) with a 6 year old and a 3 year old..... and hoping to find some friends who are willing to share their stories of weight loss while they are raising a family and being " mature"......

    Hi Christine -

    I am 49 years old and my youngest is 14.... it is amazing to parent a child at any age, but I have noticed that with my youngest I seem to be a calmer mom and not to sweat the small stuff as much. As for trying to lose the weight - I am still fighting that battle, but am taking the first steps to get there. Being healthy for our kids is so important - we want to be there to play with them and cheer them on!! Feel free to friend me if you want - have a great day!

    Hi, I'm 43 with a 4 year old. Although I really don't think of myself as an "older" mum I have more energy than most of the mums I know 10 years or so younger!!!!

    Hi Christine!

    I "was" a really young mom (my oldest is 26 and will make me a grandma in April) and an "older" mom to a 4 year old daughter (there's a 15 year old son in between as well)--and I am 44 as well.

    I do find myself more relaxed with my youngest, having gone through raising my 2 sons earlier in life.

    Well--we are already friends :flowerforyou: , but thought I'd post here anyway! Hope all is going GREAT for you!

    Hi :) Not sure exactly what you mean by "older" mom with "younger" children...lol...but, here's my story...I am a stay at home 41 year old mom, with 5 children...only 3 left at home...my youngest two are 10 and 11. I home school them. Its a challenge to do all that I do for everyone else and still make time for me. However, since starting MFP in August I have learned that I am important too....and some things I just HAVE to do for myself :) Feel free to send me a friend request if you want. I will be glad to try and share my up/downs with you...and be an encouragement also....Good Luck in your journey!!

    I'll be 45 next Thursday and I have 2 girls ages 5 and 3. There are days when I FEEL like an 'older' mom and days when I feel much younger. MFP has definitely helped with my energy level. I've lost 29 pounds since last September and I feel great! Feel free to friend me:)
