Any other moms of toddlers out there hoping to lose weight? My youngest turns two in October so the whole "post baby weight" excuse no longer applies. Ahem.

I'm looking for busy mamas like myself to help stay motivated and help hold me accountable. I'm thinking weekly weigh in/check ins, recipe sharing, exercise challenges...Go big or go home! :)

Anyone in?

Here's my stats:
2 kids, oldest is 3 youngest is almost 2
Goal: 60 pounds to lose
Height: 5'5
Weaknesses: CARBS. Ugh.

    I have a toddler! She'll be 3 in November. She's my one and only and I'm 41 (translated: I'm old and tired from running around after her).
    I'm 5'2" and would like to lose 45 lbs, in addition to what I've already lost.
    My weakness is also carbs (bread and butter please), but I've been pretty good about my food since joining MFP.

    Me! I'll add you as a friend!

    I have a boy who will be 2 in November. :)
    I'm on day 5 of 30DS - which I do when baby is sleeping or on a jog with his Daddy.
    I'm about 190, my GW is 125.
    I'm 5'0" tall.
    Weakness - fat and sugar.

    I would absolutely LOVE to be your buddy and help you any way I can - and the other way around! :D

    Edit: Oh and I'm 22 lol.

    I also work 40-45 hours a week outside the home and love hearing how other parents continue to make it all happen without becoming sleep deprived. Ha!

    Feel free to add me. I love having the accountability of new friends on MFP.

I have a 7 year old boy, a 4 year old girl, and a 3 year old girl, but it feels like i have alot more since i have a daycare in my house. so im always busy and most of the time i dont have any motivation to work out. i want to lose about 60lbs, but yes i love my carbs!! so far its been a very big challenge!

    mememe!!!!

    My son is turning 3 in October, I have lost and gained back almost all of my "baby weight" twice already. I have been through a lot in the past couple years though, my house burned down a few months ago and up went my scale again =( and my son had some health problems a year ago. I stress eat obviously. But I am back again getting married in October! =)

    I am 5' 4"
    and I have 49-59 pounds to lose. I am thinking somewhere between 135 and 125 I will know when I get there. I want to get back into my size 5 jeans...although I will have to buy more now that my house burned down, all my goal pre pregnancy clothes burned up =(.

    Starting weight:184
    Goal:125
    Height 5'4'

    Oh I need new friends too cuz all the friends I had are inactive now...booo add me I except anyone!

    I'm in! I have 3.5 year old twins and a 10 month old! Both hubby and I work FT, so spare time is almost non-existent. I am always looking for recipes, exercise recommendations, and of course, support and motivation from other moms! I am 36, 5 feet tall and currently weigh 173. I've lost 30lbs so far this year but would like to lose 40 more. I had previously lost 50lbs and kept it off for 10+ years before becoming pregnant with the twins, so I thought I could just use that foundation of my prior experience to get off the "baby" weight, but 3 years and 1 addt'l baby later and it's been a much sloooower process! Our family is complete now, so I'm DETERMINED to get that pre-baby body back!! :)

    Oh - and my weakness is sweets/sugar!

    Hi Mommas- I'm looking for friends to support and motivate me, and who I can return the same, so please add me :)

    I have two daughers, 2 1/2 and a 5-week old.

    I'm 32, I have 20 pounds to lose to reach my goal weight, and 30 to reach my stretch goal.

    I'd love to hear exercise and healthy food ideas- I haven't figured out how to exercise with my babes...

    My daughter just turned 3 on Aug 31st. I stay at home with her at the moment and I need to lose at least 60lbs but would like to lose 70. My biggest weaknesses are carbs, cheese and soda (though pretty much everything is hard for me to refuse lol). I just started using this a couple days ago after my cousin in Tx pushed me to do it (he has now lost 106lbs since March of this year). I'd love to have more friends on here to help me along the way and for me to help them. You can feel free to add me.

    My son turned two in August and I've lost weight but still have more too lose and tone up. It's hard with an active toddler to get my workout in. Feel free to add me if you want.

    Hello!
    I have a 3 year old girl that will be 4 in Nov. and a baby boy that just turned 1 Aug. 31st. So the 9 months to put it on and 9 to take it off excuse no longer applies to me either. My husband actually reminded me of that about a month ago and I almost punched him in the face. But anyway, I have 4 children 14, 12, 3, and 1. Ive always spend the first year in "mommy mode". Which is pony tail, sweats, and no make up. Well, Im slowly emerging out of mommy mode and back into me mode.

    Welcoming all new friends!

    Im 5'6"
    Weigh 192
    Goal weight 150
    36 years old

    Hi mamas! I'm 28. I have a 3 year old son, and do daycare from my home. I'm 5'7" and I started at 249. Lost some and since it seemed to be sticking, joined this site. I'm large framed and have some serious curves, so my goal weight is a toned 165.

    The thing I struggle most with is just mindless snacking. Since I am in my house all day, it is all too easy to just constantly snack.
    I'm a walker, try to do 3-5 miles every day. I also do Zumba 2-3 times a week and strength training 2-3 times a week.
