Posts: 2
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.0 -
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!

Hi Everyone,
I have a 3 year old son and an 11 month old son. It is so hard to eat right. Go ahead and add me. Lets help each other.I want to lose about 60lbs. I'm walking my first half marathon in October 2012. I walk about 13 miles a week.0 -
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!0 -
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!0 -

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...0 -
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.0

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.0

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 old0 -
Hi! I too have a toddler!
Here's my stats:
1 Daughter: 1 year 4 months
Goal: I reached my initial goal of 119 and working towards 110 & Muscle Building (Total weight loss: 59.20LBS since baby)
Height: 5'4
Weaknesses: Definitely Carbs and Chocolate! :bigsmile:0 -
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.0 -
Hey fellow "MOMMYs!!!!!!!!!!!!!" -
I'm K. 30. 3 yr old daughter (3 on the 30th) and 15 month old son.
5'4", 141. Working on "last 10". Less focus on the number and more focus on the body recomposition.
Weakness - ice cream and rice.....I'm Asian lol
I'm new also so feel free to add me! Probably won't get around to sending requests until kiddos are in bed0 -
Hey Moms,
I don't have many "friends" on this site, and I would love to have some other folks to help keep me accountable.
I'm 37 and mom to an 18 mth old daughter. I also work full time, so I have my hands full!
My stats:
Height: 5'9"
Current Weight: 152
Goal Weight: 143
I will finish Jillian Michaels' Ripped in 30 this Saturday, and then I plan to start her 90 day program. I enjoy exercise, but struggle to fit it in. My biggest downfall is "spoiling myself" with eating badly.0 -
I have a three year old. I joined a gym that has childcare and it's been awesome. Good luck0

Hi moms!
I am 29. My children (both girls) are 10 and 2. I work full time which makes exercise difficult sometimes but I will usually walk with my toddler to the after school program to get my oldest. It is nice to get out. It took me a couple weeks to really start enjoying my walks and now I feel grumpy if I skip a day. I put my baby in her stroller so I can pick up the pace.
I just got a dog last weekend and that has helped too. I am now walking a little in the morning to get him out before work.
Feel free to add me0 -
