Hi everyone!! I have been a part of this group since it first started and I am so happy to see so many new members!! I have been on MFP for a while but I am just now really getting serious about getting healthy. Anyways...

I am a 29 year old married mother of two - Isiah is 7 and Gavin is 17 months old - they and my husband are my world!! I am originally from Illinois but I am currently stationed in Groton, Connecticut - yep, I am in the military. I have been in the U.S. Navy for a little over 12 years.

Growing up I never had weight issues - I ate whatever, whenever and after two kids it is so hard to stop that lifestyle now. I gained 60 pounds with my oldest and then lost about 40 of that, got married and gained 20 pounds and then got pregnant again....I only gained 20 pounds with Gavin which I proceeded to lose very quickly but then by sheer laziness I gained it all back....plus more....

I have to get my act together - not only for me and my family but also for my career!!!

Feel free to add me!

I Have been a member of MFP for about a year now but got pregnant with my second daughter and stopped using it. Well my daughter is now 5 weeks old and I am looking to lose the extra weight! I have a daughter who will be 3 next month and a daughter that turned 5 weeks old today! Taking care of a newborn is tiring and taskful enough added to taking care of my first daughter. I don't eat much but I still don't lose any weight! I need motivation!

Hi, I'm Jennifer....I'm the mom of two little ones (3 years and 22 months). I work full time out of the home too, but I'm committed to getting healthy. My dad is a severe diabetic and I don't want my kids to go on that roller coaster that I did. Watching my dad deal with diabetes has had such a negative impact on me, but also got me on a healthy track.

I do all of my work outs at home, try and eat as healthy as I can, and I love spending time being active with my family.

Hi, My name is Michelle. I am a 32 year old mother of three. I am very new to MFP. I am very excited and very pumped to do the right thing not only for myself but also my children. I had a heart attack in May of 2012. My goal is to lose 31 pounds. I am currently going to school online which I plan on being done in one year. After I am done with school, I plan on working out of my house as a contracted accountant. Leading this very sedimentary life style, it is very important for me to keep focused. I recently quite smoking which was a humungous step for me. I believe my biggest down fall in this whole thing is going to be McDonald's french fries. That has been one of my favorite foods since I was a little girl. I hope to meet other mothers trying to do the same thing that I am.

Hi Ladies! I am kinda new to MFP and so far I am loving it! I have two children, my son is 2 and my daughter is 10 months. They keep me very busy and exhausted but I wouldn't change it for the world. I have always been a tad bit heavier and struggled with my weight, but when I got pregnant with my son, things spiraled out of control as I gained over 50lbs. I found out after he was born that those pounds don't just fall off like I thought they would. So I found myself being a very overweight new mom and full time student who had no clue how to loose all this weight. I didn't start working out til my son was 2 months, but once I did I joined weight watchers since I was nursing to learn about the proper nutrition I needed for myself and my son. I also started doing the p90x program which was a tad bit over my head, but everyday got easier and by the time my son was 7 months old I had lost over 40lbs. I hit a plateau at that point and discovered it was because I was pregnant with my daughter, surprise! I did much better with her pregnancy and have already managed to loose the baby weight, but now it's time to loose the weight that has haunted me for years. After working out and loosing weight for the past two years, I have found a love for health, nutrition, and fitness and have decided I want a career in this field. I love learning new things about nutrition and fitness and love the way it makes my body feel. Right now I struggle with eating a few too many sweets late at night but I'm working on it everyday. I have had a hard time figuring out how many calories to eat while nursing my daughter and with the amount of exercise I do but hopefully I have it figured out. I would love to find more moms so we can all help motivate each other on our journeys so feel free to add me. Good luck to everyone on our weight loss adventure = )

HI EVERYONE,
I am a 23 year old Mom to Irish Twins. My daughter is 14 months old and my son is 3 months old. I weigh 163 pounds and my goal weight is 120-125 (Im trying to fit back into my old clothes lol). I am a stay at home Mom, that loves to go the gym and workout. I need all the support I can get! I enjoy making new friends, so feel free to add me to your "friends list" on here.
Thanks,
Kendra

Hi all, I am 35 and a mum of 3. My daughter is 4, then I have 2 sons who are 3 and 18 months. I live in Australia and was using a different calorie counting program that I loved but unfortunately it does not have a phone app and I just find that so convenient that I decided to give MFP a try. I am basically a full time mum but work one day a week in my husband's business. Being a mother is the best thing that I have ever done in my life but it is also the hardest! I was in mum's groups on my previous forum and loved them because I found that only other mums understand that sometimes there really is no energy left at the end of the day to go for a run, or even walk further than to the bed!!
:yawn:

Hi, Everyone,

I am new to the group and site. I have 4 kids and would like to lose up to 35 pounds. I really like the food tracker/net calorie function, and I think that this site, combined with another fitness one that I downloaded will really be helpful. Looking forward to hearing from everyone and getting good tips!

I've been using MFP on my phone for a while but had never logged on the actual website. I've got a lot to lose and a lot to gain from losing. Looking forward to giving and getting inspiration and support.

hi im a mother of a 10 month old. my name is Katie and my current weight is 167lbs. my goal weight is 125-115. i have a problem with over eating or eating all day long. im also kinda lazy and not very active. ive used mfp before but just wasnt commited. now i plan to def commit and hope to lose all my pregnancy weight. any advice?

Hi Michelle!!

I am here to tell you that you are not alone, and I am very excited to begin this journey myself. I am a mother of 2 and I would love to get more active. I am a CARB junkie! So, I am here to wish you well and let you know that I am hoping for sucess for both of us!! I think that we all need to know we have a support system if we need it!! :happy:

New to the group, was doing MFP with a couple mom friends who dropped off, but I'm motivated to keep going. Have a two and a half year old, and a new business which is my other 'baby'. Hubs is the guy who eats whatever he wants and never gains a lb. looking for support and inspiration!

Hello everyone. I'm Roxanne, mom to a boy a few months shy of two. Right now I'm mainly focused on ridding myself of the mom jiggle (still there after losing the 60 pounds I gained from my pregnancy) but I would not turn my nose up at losing a bit more weight. You'd think with all the chasing my son around I do, fitness would be not a concern.
