Hello! I'm new to My Fitness Pal, my name is Jessica and I'm 24. I'm trying to lose 88 lbs. I've got two small kids and finding time to be active isn't always that easy. I've recently taken up tennis with a friend of mine so hopefully that will help.

I'm looking to add anyone as a friend, but especially other moms would be nice!

    Wow...I can't believe I just typed my weight on the internet. I have never even said it aloud. I don't even let the doctor say it. Guess its for real now, lol.

    Hey. I just started too. This is my second day. I thought I should eat normally before making changes. You can add me. I will be on everyday to update everything. I am 25 and have had 4 children. 3 live with me. The fourth was adopted by a pre K teacher and pastor. She just turned one and I see her twice a week. I have at least 95lbs to lose. At least that's the least I want to lose. The most I would want to lose is 130lbs. Good luck and if you have any questions, let me know! Or if you see anything you could give me pointers on, that would be great!

    I just started today and I am a mom of 2...I have lost 90 pounds so far (took about 2 years so far) but want to get to my goal in which I have another 10 to go. It has been a long hard journey and I am so excited for this next chaper in my health and fitness goals. If you want to add me, please feel free I love to talk diet and exercise.

    Hi! I'm 5ft and would love to lose around 80lbs but just aiming for thirty for now.

    I'm in New Zealand and have five children, almost 11yo son, and 8yo, 6yo, 4yo, 21mth old daughters.

    I completely agree it's very hard to find time to exercise!

    Feel free to add me; although my son is now 21, I have been through the weight loss challenge before during and after. I am 43 and I know how to "sneak" exercise into any day; besides 99% is what you're eating exercise is just the proverbial icing on the cake.

    Time and energy - two things most mums want more of :-)

    I have a 3 year old boy and have been on MFP for 2 weeks. Add me if you like - I could do with a few more MFP pals.

    Both my kids are teenagers now, but I definitely remember those earlier days! Hard to find time even to take a shower by yourself, let alone work out!

    I used to have a dvd that was yoga for parents and kids to do together. . . I think it was from Gaiam, if you are interested in something like that.
