in Introduce Yourself
Hey ladies,

I'm a married, mother of two, holding two jobs and doing my absolute best to stay committed to losing weight! Super positive, very motivated, and I love the social aspect on here. I've used MFP off and on for a WHILE, but just buckled down almost a month ago and have really stuck to it! I'm looking for other moms out there that juggle kids, hubbies, work, cleaning......LIFE! I could always use motivation and I love to see others' diaries to get snack and meal ideas too!

    Roles are reversed in my family. My husband is a stay at home to our 11 week old baby girl. I work all day and come home and want to relieve him of his duties and spend time with her, as well as do my part to keep up the house. I feel guilty when I do take the time to work out! But I know I need to get fit to be a happy healthy me for all of us. Feel free to ad me

    I'm a stay at home mama (well, we're not home that much because we're always doing SOMETHING!) to two beautiful kids - my daughter is 7 and my son will be 2 in August. I'm a workout FREAK and health nut! I'm currently maintaining my weight (I'm 5'7" and 121-125 pounds depending on the day lol) and am finally SO happy to have 'abs'! I like to think I finally have a grasp on this whole "healthy lifestyle" thing and hope to be motivational! If you want to add me, send a request :) Good luck on achieving your goals!!

    Hi!! I'm a new mom myself. No hubby, but working full-time and trying to get the hang of the parenting thing. Your wecome to check my stuff out. May not find a whole lot of anything interesting, but sometimes it's helpful to have more positive people around to encourage you when you need it. :)

    I, too, have been on and off MFP for a few years, but after the birth of my second child 7 weeks ago, I started buckling down and am trying to lose it again. I lost 70 pounds a few years ago and then gained it all back with my first pregnancy. It was a year and a half between pregnancies (my oldest was 2 yrs and 2 months when the new one was born) and I didn't lose a pound. So now, I am totally committed to not only losing the 70 pounds again, but more!! No excuses because now I have 2 little ones to show how to live healthy. :) Good luck to you. Let's do this!!!

    I am also a mommy - to actually 3 children; 12 year old, 5 year old, and almost 2 year old. I have been using MFP for a couple of months, but really need to get motivated to stay on it. I have the same trouble as you and most moms do. I have a full time job, so does my husband. We have to come home, get dinner going, spend time with the kids, do some cleaning, and etc. And when school is in session.. Forget about it. lol
    The motivation factor is the hardest part for me. I have a friend that I am working with on this and we agreed to text each other when we have the urge to eat bad or feel lazy.. we try and motivate each other to stay on track. So far... we haven't had to do that - but I am sure there will be a time when it will be needed.
    I am all for hearing ideas and finding quick, simple & healthy meals to make - while making time to work out.

    I'm married with three daughters (13, 8, and 7). I have found that eating better isn't as hard as I thought it would be (usually) but finding the time to work out is. Please add me so we can all keep in touch
