    I'm a momma to a sweet little boy (age 4).

    I'd like to lose 20-25 lbs.

    sw: 185 (Jan. 1/13)
    Cw: 164
    GW:145, maybe less. We'll see when I get there.

    I'm 5'6.


    Feel free to add me :)

    I am actually still pregnant, but my doc has okayed what I'm doing. I am due any day now and have been following an 1800 calorie diet the full term of my pregnancy. So far I've only gained 12 pounds and we are both very healthy! (I gained 30 with my 1st and 31 with my 2nd and was just a few pounds from my goal weight each time I got pregnant... including this time. I told the doc it is hard for me to see the scale go up that much and he recommended the calorie level)
    However, I want to get my weight down to about 175 (my previous goal has been 185. I keep getting soooo close and then pregnant. My hubby and I feel our family is complete, so that shouldn't be happening again. I am really looking forward to delivery to see what my body does and how I can get it back in shape.
    My boys are 6 and 3 and I've got a girlie on the way.

    Add me too! I have 26 lbs to lose and have a 2 1/2 year old and a 8 month old. This is my first day on MFP! I'm good at starting exercising and eating right but always fall off before reaching my goal. I'm looking for friends who are consistent. I would say my daily "need" for chocolate and other sweets is my biggest problem.

    I have an almost 5 year old and have about 22lbs to loose for my big goal, but I might try to loose a little more after I get there. I'd love some more buddies. I'm on everyday tracking!

    I have a 9yo, 6yo, and a 6 month old. The two big ones are in school all day, which makes it easier to get workouts in.
    I have been doing jillian michaels dvds, watp, and turbo jam along with the elliptical.
    I want to lose about 20-30 lbs. i am nursing right now and loosing very very slowly. It can be really hard to stay motivated but I am just doing it. Getting ready to take the baby on an hour walk, hopefully she will nap.
    Feel free to add me.

    Hi! This is my first time posting to the community, but I've been logging consistently for about three months. I have a 6 year old and a 2 year old. I'm aiming to lose 22 pounds before orthopedic surgery and hopefully another 10 or so after, once I can exercise at a higher intensity again. I find without a lot of exercise I have to stick to the lower end of my calorie allotment to lose anything, so it's hard going. I'm down 11 so far: half way to my first goal.
