Hi, I am a mom of two (7 yrs and 7 months) and really need to get back to the focus and discipline that I had after I had my oldest. I had lost over 65 pounds and would love to get there again. So I am starting over and am focused and determined.

    Hello and welcome! I wish you the best of luck in your weight loss journey. Maybe you can find some fun ways to loose weight that involve your children too so you can spend time with them and have fun while loosing? Whatever works for you, I hope you succeed.

    Hello and welcome! I can relate since I have a 2 year old and an almost 4 month old and finally decided it was time to lose the last of the baby weight! Definitely not always easy to find the time with two kids (which Im sure you know) but it is possible. Feel free to add me!

    The nice thing is that my almost 7 year old loves to walk, run and ride her bike, so we usually bust out the jogging stroller and log miles. I am an exercise physiologist so some of my job is teaching classes (built in workout!). My hubby and I belong to the Y in our area so we drop the kids off at child care, do our workouts and then get in the pool with them.

    My problem is NOT the workouts, it's the eating! I love food but I can't eat the way I did when I was in my 20s (mid 30s right now) and am learning the hard way.

    Good luck to all of you!
